Factor Analysis Of Energy Security: Net Import Dependency

This paper analyzes various aspects of energy dependency and identifies the hidden factors behind national security. Based on a review scientific literature, that reduce security in consumption natural gas, oil, nuclear generation were identified. One such factor is import resources. Import crucial characteristic can exacerbate effects external aggression, non-competitive behavior, pressure. Given crisis 2022, most countries around world have revised their policies to by diversifying supplies reducing dependence Russian The analysis ratios, 1990-2020, was used study EU27 countries. performed for annual indices calculated using Eurostat database “Simplified balances.” hypothesized existence latent relationships between variables twenty-seven EU hypothesis verified Bartlett’s sphericity test Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin criterion. results testing showed its statistical significance (the p-value < 0.05) possibility analysis.
