Access to electricity indicator

Access to electricity indicator is A World Development Indicators Topic 5 family measuring electricity access and power consumption across 200-plus countries and economies, published annually.. It is the anchor series for cross-country electrification comparisons in the topic extract.

In this catalog it shows up concretely:

• World Bank Energy & Mining - World Development Indicators (Topic 5) — 41 indicators x ~217 economies x ~65 years (~10,866 rows in the topic-5 extract, distributed via bulk download, annual updates, quality score 9/10, free.

The category matters because it shapes what you can do on day one: of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs, 82.4% are free to access, so most teams can validate fit against real files before any budget conversation. 725 of those 1,744 datasets ship as bulk downloads and 574 expose an official API, which sets expectations for how this term's artifacts are delivered.

Misreading this concept leads to comparing unlike things — wrong denominators, wrong coverage claims, wrong renewal decisions. Getting it right up front keeps vendor conversations honest.

There is no reason to guess: World Bank Energy & Mining - World Development Indicators (Topic 5) is free, so you can download or query a sample today and read the reality behind the label.

Use these checks to test whether a source treats this concept the way you need:

1. Open World Bank Energy & Mining - World Development Indicators (Topic 5) and confirm the domain concept claim against the actual artifact — its own listing reports 41 indicators x ~217 economies x ~65 years (~10,866 rows in the topic-5 extract.
2. Ask the vendor which of the 1,744 cataloged datasets theirs resembles; if they cannot name a comparable public example, treat the claim as unverified.
3. Check update cadence in writing: across the catalog, only 22.6% of datasets update daily, so 'always current' needs evidence.
4. Read the license field, not the marketing page: licensing varies per distribution even inside one portal.

Where to see it in context: multi-utilities data.
