list

Countries sorted by proportion of the population with access to electricity. When differentiating between rural and urban electrification, one must consider the differences in urbanization in different countries. For example, one country may have a lower degree of urban and rural electrification than another, but still higher overall electrification due to differences in the distribution of people living in rural and urban areas. The source for all data is the World Bank .
