Development of Energy Security Definition and Indexes for Sustainable Future: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

In recent years, energy security has been gaining increasing attention worldwide, leading to a rapid growth in research and literature on the subject. As a result, many definitions regarding energy security have been proposed, reflecting the diverse perspectives and considerations involved in ensuring a secure and sustainable energy supply. There has also been a growing interest in how to measure, which has in turn led to the energy security indicators and indices development. Thus, this paper explores the definition of energy security, as well as its various dimensions and the indices employed to measure it. As a result, the scope of energy security has broadened to encompass contemporary concerns such as the environment, governance, social aspects, and technological efficiency, which were not traditionally given much consideration in the past. As a result, multiple themes have been considered, leading to a more holistic understanding and approach to energy security. This evolution has significant implications for the construction of the energy security index especially in Indonesia, as a more comprehensive set of indicators is now required to offer a comprehensive assessment of energy security within a country and provide valuable insights for energy policymakers.
