Interpretation
Energy readiness scoring weighs grid context, transition strategy, and climate-adaptation depth. Italy's renewable acceleration supports the score. Across the indexed cities the energy average is 64/100, so Rome is 12 points above the median. Data year 2025; last updated 2026-05-16. Drawn from 3 institutional references.
