Indicators

The Index has a hierarchical structure, where the bottom level comprises specific indicators and the top level represents a total Index score. All indicators are evaluated by six transparency criteria:

• availability;
• accessibility;
• relevance;
• frequency;
• usability;
• completeness of information.

The score for each indicator can range from 0 to 4 points. More information on the approach to evaluating the indicators and forming integral indices based on them is provided in the Methodology section. The table below reveals the entire Index "tree", its internal structure, as well as demonstrates transparency scores for all elements and dimensions of the Index.

At the bottom Index level, one can identify specific gaps in transparency of Ukraine's energy sector. These are the so-called "black boxes", i.e. the indicators, information on which is entirely unavailable.
