The Electric Utilities Benchmark 2023 presents a ranking of 68 keystone electric utilities companies based on an Assessing low-Carbon Transition (ACT) assessment and a social assessment comprising Core Social and Just Transition Indicators. Additionally, 11 capital goods companies are also assessed but not included in the ranking (see Capital Goods tab).

The ACT assessments measure the companies’ degree of alignment to the low-carbon transition, in line with the 1.5°C Paris Agreement temperature goal. The social assessments measure whether the companies are transitioning in a just and equitable way.

Details of how WBA integrates the two assessments to calculate the total score can be found in the WBA Electric Utilities 2023 methodology report.
