What Renewable Energy % Measures
Renewable Energy % 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 Renewable Energy % 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 0 (Sint Maarten) to 96.3 (Congo, Democratic Republic) — an infinitely large difference across 212 countries.
Regional Patterns
African countries dominate this ranking, holding 18 of the top 20 positions. This strong regional concentration suggests shared economic, geographic, or policy factors that drive higher values across the continent.
Values are broadly distributed across countries, with the middle 50% ranging from 7.50 to 46.5. The overall spread from 0 to 96.3 reflects significant global variation.
Notable Outliers
The top of the ranking is competitive: Congo, Democratic Republic and Somalia are separated by only 1%, indicating that the leading positions could shift with updated data.
