About Energy Transition Index
- It is released by the World Economic Forum.
- A country’s final ETI score is a weighted composite of two sub-indices: system performance (60%) and transition readiness (40%).
- System performance is evenly distributed across equity, security and sustainability dimensions, while transition readiness is divided into two categories: core enablers and enabling factors.
- Core enablers include regulation and political commitment as well as finance and investment, while enabling factors encompass innovation, infrastructure and education and human capital.
