PH’s energy transition index rank rebounds
Manila Bulletin
|June 20, 2025
As it aspires to increase the share of renewable energy (RE) in its power mix, the Philippines drastically improved its ranking to 76th out of 118 countries in the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) 2025 Energy Transition Index (ETI).
This year’s jump is a reversal of the country’s slide to 105th out of 120 countries in the 2024 ETI, from its previous position of 94th in 2023.
WEF’s ETI is used to evaluate countries’ recent efforts toward improving energy security.
In the latest ETI, the Philippines was grouped under emerging Asia, a region that has shown progress through reforms, infrastructure improvements, and increased investments in clean energy.
According to Geneva, Switzerland-based WEF, the Philippines received an ETI score of 53, placing it ninth within the emerging Asia group, which has an average ETI score of 53.2.
