Headline figures of the inventory, the geography of modelling activity and the tools behind it. Every number links to the studies it is computed from.
Studies by year and scope
Whole energy-system studies at the base, focused studies above.
Who leads the modelling?

A study counts once for every country it models.
Most used tools
Studies per tool, both scopes combined; filter by scope on the Tools page.

All countries
Sorted by studies. Gap score 0–100: higher means more under-served. Readiness 0–10.
“Not ranked” means the score cannot be computed; it is never zero.
