World Energy Council (WEC)
Formed in 1923 as the UN accredited global energy body, the WEC is the principal impartial network of energy leaders and practitioners promoting an affordable, stable and environmentally sensitive energy system for the greatest benefit of all.
The WEC represents the entire energy spectrum, with over 3,000 member organisations in over 90 Countries, drawn from governments, private and state corporations, academia, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and energy stakeholders.
World Energy Trilemma Index
The World Energy Trilemma Index prepared annually by the WEC in partnership with Oliver Wyman is a comparative ranking of 125 Countries’ energy systems. It provides an assessment of a Country’s energy system performance, reflecting balance and robustness in the three trilemma dimensions including Energy Security, Energy Equity and Environmental Sustainability.
