In these countries’ range from 45 101, according Index. The aim study develop new performance will factor specific features with high share hydroelectricity generation, calculate index taking contemporary requirements include green renewable fostering decarbonization. This research reveals whether indices correspond their actual identifies factors influencing values can be integrate countries, allows evaluating state several (for example, those Community) whole.
