Virya Electric Grid Index

Is the grid ready for the AI decade?

The Virya Electric Grid Index 2026 benchmarks 86 economies on the strength of their power systems. Every country gets one comparable score, a pillar-by-pillar grade, a country-specific read on where it is at risk and why, and its resource mix, demand and regulatory set-up. The grid is the economy’s balance sheet, and this index reads it.
