Energy Transition Index (ETI) 2026

The Energy Transition Index (ETI) 2026 was released by the World Economic Forum.

The ETI evaluates the performance of 120 countries across 44 indicators, measuring the progress of energy systems towards being secure, sustainable, equitable, and affordable.

Global energy investment reached US$3.3 trillion in 2025, while renewable energy and nuclear power together generated 42% of global electricity.

Global renewable energy capacity increased by nearly 800 GW in 2025.

The report highlights major challenges to the energy transition, including grid congestion, permitting delays, underinvestment in emerging economies, trade restrictions, and geopolitical conflicts.

Sweden topped the ETI 2026, followed by Finland, Denmark, and Estonia.

India ranked 70th globally with an overall score of 54.9, emerging as one of the strongest performers among major economies.

The report acknowledges India’s progress in advancing its energy transition while balancing energy demand, investment needs, economic growth, and emissions reduction.
