Global energy transition signals (clean-electricity momentum, decarbonization rates, anomalies)
Value-added energy-transition signals derived from the free Our World in Data energy dataset (Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy, CC-BY-4.0): annual low-carbon and fossil-fuel electricity shares plus electricity carbon intensity for every country with an ISO code, 2000 -> latest year. Each row carries 5-year transition momentum, the annualized decarbonization rate, 3-sigma anomaly flags vs a trailing-10y baseline, and a per-year cross-country transition rank. All computation is local pandas/numpy; no paid models or APIs.

Schema
| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| date | string | Reference year of the observation, as the first day of the year (YYYY-01-01). |
| country | string | |
| country_code | string | |
