Interpretation
Energy readiness scoring weighs grid context, transition strategy, and adaptation. Peru's hydro and renewable mix supports the score. Across the indexed cities the energy average is 71/100, so Lima is close to the median for this dimension. Data year 2025; last updated 2026-05-16. Drawn from 3 institutional references.
