New Electrification Competitiveness Index Highlights China's Leadership and US Stagnation Risks
A new analysis by the We Mean Business Coalition and RMI, titled the Electrification Competitiveness Index, reveals a significant global gap between electrification policy and actual implementation. The index evaluates 16 countries based on deployment progress and enabling conditions. China emerges as the global leader due to coordinated grid investments and industrial policies, alongside France and Spain which maintain strong foundations. The report warns of potential stagnation in the United States, where federal policy reversals and massive grid bottlenecks—with over 2 TW of capacity waiting in interconnection queues—threaten momentum. Meanwhile, several European economies like Germany and the UK face a disconnect between supportive frameworks and practical deployment, characterized by high electricity costs and significant connection backlogs.
