Countries by Electricity Access (%)

Complete ranking of 214 countries • % • Updated 2026

Andorra leads all 214 countries in Electricity Access % with a value of 100, while South Sudan ranks last at 5.40. This represents a 19-fold difference between the highest and lowest values.

What Electricity Access % Measures

Electricity Access % is a comparative indicator tracked across countries by the World Bank. It provides a quantitative basis for cross-national comparison, enabling researchers and policymakers to benchmark national performance on this dimension against global peers.

Why This Ranking Matters

Examining Electricity Access % across all countries reveals patterns that might not be obvious at the national level. Regional clusters, outlier nations, and historical trajectories all become clearer when the full global picture is assembled in a single ranking.

Global Range

Values range from 5.40 (South Sudan) to 100 (Andorra) — a 19-fold difference across 214 countries.

Regional Patterns

European countries lead with 9 entries in the top 20, though representation spans multiple continents. Regional factors clearly play a role, but outliers from other parts of the world show that national policy and geography matter as much as continental trends.

Values are tightly clustered around the median of 100, with most countries falling within a narrow range. A few outliers at the extremes account for most of the overall spread.

Notable Outliers

The top of the ranking is competitive: Andorra and United Arab Emirates are separated by only 0%, indicating that the leading positions could shift with updated data. The bottom five countries are all from Africa, pointing to regional challenges that affect electricity access % across the continent.
