China and India are the most attractive growth markets for energy, according to new rankings published by data analysts GlobalData. The company's Power Attractiveness Index also shows that solar has become the world's most popular type of electricity generation, with wind in second place, followed by coal, gas and hydro. China's position has been boosted by its commitment to spending CNY2.5tn ($more than $363 billion) on renewables by 2020. Meanwhile, the US has slipped due to the Trump administration's rolling back on climate change commitments, and the UK has fallen in part because of uncertainties over Brexit.
