Methodology
How we score energy gaps.
How the score works
The Energy Opportunity Score (EOS) will be a composite index built on the OECD Handbook framework for composite indicators. It adds three rescaled measures, each with a weight: Supply Gap (S), Access Equity (A) and Transition Gap (T).
EOS = wS · S + wA · A + wT · T
The default weights are 35% for supply, 40% for access and 25% for transition. They are provisional, and you can change them in the weighting tool.
Measure S
Supply Gap
How far installed capacity in the district falls short of peak demand. A higher score means a larger shortfall.
Default weight35%
Measure A
Access Equity
The share of households without a reliable electricity supply. A higher score means worse access.
Default weight40%
Measure T
Transition Gap
How far renewable energy use falls short of national targets. A higher score means the district is further from them.
