What share of people have electricity in each country?

In 2024, 99.9% of people in India had electricity. Of 215 countries and territories, South Sudan was lowest at 5.4%, then Chad (13.4%) and Malawi (15.6%); almost all the countries where fewer than half of people have electricity are in Africa south of the Sahara. Many figures are estimates from household surveys.
