Electrification Competitiveness Index Reveals China Leading While US and Europe Face Implementation Gaps
A new analysis by the We Mean Business Coalition reveals a significant global implementation gap in electrification efforts. China currently leads the index, characterized by strong deployment driven by coordinated grid investment, industrial policy, and competitive electricity pricing relative to gas. In contrast, several major economies are struggling to translate policy into actual infrastructure delivery. The United States is categorized as being at 'risk of stalling' due to potential federal policy reversals and severe grid bottlenecks, with over 2TW of generation and storage currently stuck in interconnection queues. Meanwhile, European nations like the UK and Germany show high enabling conditions but face significant deployment hurdles, such as massive grid connection backlogs and high industrial electricity costs.
