5 Countries with Most Blackouts in the World

3. Papua New Guinea  

# of Monthly Blackouts in 2015: 41.90 

Papua New Guinea grapples with frequent blackouts, averaging over 40 per month in 2015, the third highest globally. Challenges include low access to electricity, unreliable service, and high costs, with only 13% of the population having access. The financial impact is significant, with affected firms experiencing sales losses. Government debts to PNG Power Limited amount to millions, exacerbated by high levels of electricity theft.
