About this ranking
Share of the population with access to electricity. World Bank series for the Sustainable Development Goal 7.1.1 electrification indicator, based mainly on household surveys.
Based mainly on household surveys, so year-to-year changes can reflect new survey rounds rather than new connections.
Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
