Energy companies play a crucial role in ensuring access to clean, reliable and affordable energy. The 2024 Urban Benchmark assessed 49 of the world’s largest energy distribution companies, which collectively provide gas and electricity to 2.5 billion people. These companies have operations in 38 out of 43 global megacities, and in many cases are the sole energy providers for an entire metropolitan area. Energy companies demonstrate the best performance on the benchmark, with an average total score of 15.8%. They lead the benchmark in four of the five measurement areas and also comprise four of the top 10 rankers, with the highest performer scoring 47.8%. The industry performs particularly well in the area of inclusive cities (24.7%) and on the core social indicators (20.6%), but relatively weaker in the areas of healthy cities (8.7%) and climate-proof and resilient cities (11.4%). A quarter of the companies score below 10%.
