Among the neighboring countries, Azerbaijan leads Armenia, which

80th with a score of 52.7, and Tajikistan, ranked 71st with a score
of 53.6, further affirming its leadership in the Caspian Sea
region. The index did not include Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
The global average ETI score for 2024 is 56.5, highlighting
Azerbaijan's above-average performance.
Leading the rankings are the countries of Northern Europe:
Sweden ranked first with a score of 78.4, Denmark in second place
with 75.2, and Finland in third place with 74.5.
The Energy Transition Index 2024 provides a comprehensive
assessment of countries' energy systems using a consistent
methodology, enabling decision-makers to compare and track
progress. The ETI evaluates countries based on two sub-indices:
system performance and transition readiness. System performance
assesses energy equity, security, and sustainability, while
transition readiness evaluates enablers such as regulations,
political commitment, finance, investment, innovation,
infrastructure, and education. A country's final score is a
composite of its scores on these two sub-indices, weighted at 60
percent and 40 percent, respectively.
WEF data shows that most countries are making progress in energy
transition, with Northern European nations leading the index and
countries like China and Brazil showing significant
improvement.
