India has marginally improved its position to 87th place on a global energy architecture performance index, but ranks among the worst for pollution.
According to PTI, Switzerland topped the annual list released by Geneva- based World Economic Forum (WEF) and was followed by Norway, Sweden, Denmark and France in the top five. India’s rank improved three places from 90th last year.
The findings highlight that the world’s biggest energy consumers struggle to take leading positions on the index as they grapple with inherent challenges of their large, complex energy systems and are outperformed by more nimble economies.
The study further said that India, just like China, boasts of a strong score on the indicator for diversification of import counterparts (5th), but its energy system continues to face some significant challenges, particularly in environmental sustainability (109th).
The report was developed in collaboration with Accenture Strategy and launched
at the European Commission. It ranked 127 countries based on their ability to provide energy across three dimensions of the ‘energy triangle’.
