Energy Sector Payment Performance: Slight Improvement of 2.2 Points Between 2020 and 2025

The Comparison

Here's a snapshot of payment practices in the energy sector:

• 2020: Analysis of 183 energy companies yielded an average payment performance score of 76.2 out of 100.
• 2025: A similar analysis of 169 companies shows an average payment performance score of 78.4 out of 100.

What This Means

While the energy sector shows a positive trend in payment practices, the improvement of 2.2 points between 2020 and 2025 represents only a marginal gain. The decrease in the number of companies analysed (from 183 to 169) suggests possible consolidation or exits within the sector, however, further data is needed to analyse reasons for this change.

One-line summary: From 2020 (76.2/100 across 183 companies) to 2025 (78.4/100 across 169 companies), energy sector payment performance improved by just 2.2 points.
