RISE is a set of indicators to help compare
national policy and regulatory frameworks
for sustainable energy. RISE assesses
countries’ policy and regulatory support
for each of the three pillars of sustainable
energy—access to modern energy, energy
efficiency, and renewable energy. With
27 indicators covering 111 countries and
representing 96 percent of the world
population—RISE provides a reference
point to help policy makers benchmark their
sector policy and regulatory framework against those of regional and global peers,
and a powerful tool to help develop policies
and regulations that advance sustainable
energy goals.
Each indicator targets an
element of the policy or regulatory regime
important to mobilizing investment, such
as establishing planning processes and
institutions, introducing dedicated incentives
or support programs, and ensuring
financially sound utilities. Together, they
provide a comprehensive picture of the
strength and breadth of government support
for sustainable energy and the actions
they have taken to turn that support into
reality
