A new study from Mouser Electronics gives looks at nations that depend most on electricity. The study names Singapore at the top and places the United Kingdom in the global top group. Papua New Guinea stands near the lower end.
Mouser Electronics states that Singapore has total urbanisation and almost total online access. This creates a heavy pull on digital services and steady power. The study says this dense digital use keeps the country ahead of many others. Papua New Guinea shows a very different scene since less than 30% of its residents go online.
The United Kingdom sits in ninth place. Mouser Electronics notes that strong digital links across towns and cities turn constant electricity into a daily need. The study also shows that Europe and Asia record the highest positions due to strong internet use, high electricity consumption and strong economies.
This grouping sets the tone of the global picture that Mouser Electronics describes.
What Are The Numbers Saying?
Mouser Electronics reports that the world saw electricity blackouts go up 67% over the past decade. The organisation explains that modern grids face heavier use each year. This creates a climate where nations need tighter management of power flows.
The new research draws on electricity consumption, internet access, backup systems and economic strength. Mouser Electronics says these figures help build a picture of how deeply power shapes daily life.
Singapore shows 91.98% internet use, a very low disaster risk level of 0.8, renewable energy at 4.5% and a GDP per capita of $84,734. These factors place the country above all others in the dataset. The United Kingdom records 93.46% internet use, full electricity access, a risk level of 6, renewable energy at 47.3% and a GDP per capita of $49,464. This places the country comfortably in the top ten.
Czechia, Belgium, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Hungary and the United Arab Emirates appear beside the United Kingdom and Singapore in the rankings. All record full electricity access and high online use. Mouser Electronics notes that these shared traits explain the positions held across the regions.

How Does Singapore Use Its Strength In This Area?
Mouser Electronics explains that Singapore channels electricity into a large digital ecosystem. This supports healthcare, finance, logistics and public services. Artificial intelligence plays an expanding part in this system and helps the country manage tasks that once took longer or needed more manual labour.
The country’s national AI strategy from 2019 guides adoption across different sectors. Growth in machine learning helps online services run faster and brings more accuracy to public platforms.
The Smart Nation vision brings more digital tools into city planning. Mouser Electronics says this effort feeds green energy projects, smart grids, efficient buildings and cleaner transport systems. These projects all need steady electricity, which the country’s infrastructure supports.
How Does Europe Gain Ground?
Czechia ranks second in Europe in the study. Mouser Electronics reports that the country has nearly 86% internet use, full electricity access, renewable energy at 14.7% and a GDP per capita of $31,591. Its disaster risk sits at 1.09. These numbers help show why electricity supported systems run through daily activity.
The country’s National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2030 helps build new strengths in quantum technology and semiconductor work. Mouser Electronics says these areas raise electricity needs as new tools and labs grow across the country.
Europe occupies many places in the upper part of the rankings. Denmark, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Finland stand out. High online access and strong electricity consumption match their positions. Mouser Electronics concludes that this pattern places Europe and Asia ahead of other regions.
Mark Patrick, Director of Technical Content at Mouser Electronics, commented: “In today’s digital world, innovation is what separates the leaders from the rest. Countries that continue to invest in advanced infrastructure, energy efficiency, and resilient systems can scale technology faster, integrate new solutions, and maintain a competitive edge.
“Staying ahead in the global tech race isn’t just about having power – it’s about having resilient, sustainable power, and using it in a smarter way to drive digital innovation, adoption of new technologies, and long-term economic growth.”
