Energy powers prosperity

and fuels a sustainable world

Join us on a data-driven journey through key aspects of the global energy landscape.

Energy Access: The Foundation of Human Progress

Modern energy services transform quality of life at both individual and societal levels

Bubble size ∝ population (million). Data aggregated from World Bank and Our World in Data (2022). Extreme poverty data availability fluctuates by country, the graph shows the most recent, available data.

The Energy Story

Electricity unlocks human progress

Electric light, refrigeration, and digital connectivity form the backbone of modern life. Each bubble on this chart shows how the share of people with electricity rises together with the Human Development Index (HDI).

Where power reaches homes, life expectancy, education, and incomes climb.

Energy Colors: The Generation Mix

Each grid tells a unique story through its energy sources, shaping reliability, cost, and carbon intensity.

Key insight: High-income countries tend to have more diversified generation mixes, whereas lower-income countries often rely heavily on a single source — usually coal or hydropower.

Generation Mix Shapes Everything

The electricity a country generates determines not just its carbon footprint, but also its resilience to geopolitical shocks, price volatility, and climate impacts. As we transition to cleaner systems, understanding these complex trade-offs becomes critical.

Key Insights:

Political stability is a key dimension of energy security, affecting everything from infrastructure investment to regulatory continuity. Note the sharp decline in Russia's stability index after 2021, contrasted with the gradual stabilization of India's governance framework.

Beyond Technical Solutions

Energy security isn't merely a technical challenge—it's deeply intertwined with governance, international relations, and market design. Countries must balance immediate energy needs against long-term resilience, with policy frameworks often determining success as much as resource endowments.
