48.9 GW average power · 429.09 TWh/yr energy consumed (2025).
K = (log₁₀P − 6) / 10 with P in watts. Humanity today ≈ K 0.73. Computed in code from the reported figure — source: vistracorp.com/documents/sustainability/reporting-year/20....
Index composition
65% measured · 35% opinion · methodIndex = weighted mean of the scored categories (weights renormalized over what was scored) · coverage 65% · confidence 51% · measured share 69% of the scored weight (opinion 31%). No “overall” is asked of the model. Scores are AI-assisted (disclosures).
Every published measurement, newest first. N is the run on the leaderboard now; failed attempts are not shown. Unranked runs show no Index; Δ and the Index trend compare ranked runs only.
A trend line appears after the second published run.

Compound annual growth: capex +28%/yr over 3y, revenue +4%/yr over 3y → score 6.1. Not available: energy (confidence reduced).
Opinion · Capability · weight 15%
No evidence of new capabilities, tech advances or cost reductions in frontier fields; only conventional power generation and asset acquisition [E392].
Opinion · Shipping · weight 12%
Rising capex and 5,500 MW gas asset acquisition indicate ordinary industry cadence of capacity expansion; no speed records or delays noted.
