Energy security score
Moderate. Côte d'Ivoire ranks 114th of 158 countries and 22nd of 35 in Africa. The score shows how well a country could keep electricity affordable and on if fuel supplies were disrupted. It is based on 4 of the 5 measures.
| Measure | Score |
|---|---|
| Produces its own energy No reliable figure exists for Côte d'Ivoire, so this measure is left out and the other four count for more. | n/a |
| Variety of power sources How evenly generation is spread across nine sources. The largest, gas, made 71%. | 47 |
| Little reliance on imported power Côte d'Ivoire exported more electricity than it imported, so it scores full marks. | 100 |
| Low-carbon power Nuclear and renewables made 29% of generation. | 29 |
| Low gas and oil use Gas and oil made 71% of generation; the score is 100 minus that share. | 29 |
The five measures are weighted 30%, 20%, 20%, 15% and 15%. How the score works.
