Abstract

This study analyse and compare the sustainable electricity usage in 60 countries listed on the official websites of World Energy Consumption Statistics and Climate Bond Initiative. The study also analyses the impact of increased usage of sustainable electricity on the economies' dependence on non-renewable energy sources in the evaluation system. We used a standard index system based on the Pressure-State Response (PSR) model to measure global sustainable electricity usage. Model results convey that Norway is the best performer in sustainable electricity usage, while several European countries display commendable scores, confirming their commitment to sustainable electricity practices. On the other hand, despite being the leading economies in terms of GDP, major economies such as the United States, China, Japan, and India have underperformed compared to others in the evaluation system. The study employs regression techniques to explain the relationship between sustainable electricity usage and non-renewable energy dependence. Results confirm a negative relationship between the variables, indicating the role of sustainable energy practices in reducing fossil fuel consumption. It emphasizes the urgency of a balanced approach to economic growth and natural resource usage to support a green future.

利用压力-状态-响应框架制定全球可持续用电指数

本研究对世界能源消耗统计和气候债券倡议官方网站上列出的 60 个国家的可持续电力使用情况进行了分析和比较。研究还分析了可持续电力使用量的增加对评价体系中经济体对不可再生能源依赖程度的影响。我们采用了基于压力-状态响应（PSR）模型的标准指标体系来衡量全球可持续电力使用情况。模型结果表明，挪威在可持续用电方面表现最佳，而几个欧洲国家的得分也值得称赞，这证明了它们在可持续用电方面的承诺。另一方面，尽管美国、中国、日本和印度等主要经济体在国内生产总值方面处于领先地位，但在评价体系中的表现却不如其他国家。本研究采用回归技术来解释可持续用电与不可再生能源依赖性之间的关系。结果证实了变量之间的负相关关系，表明了可持续能源实践在减少化石燃料消耗方面的作用。研究强调，当务之急是平衡经济增长和自然资源使用，以支持绿色未来。

期刊介绍： Utilities Policy is deliberately international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral. Articles address utility trends and issues in both developed and developing economies. Authors and reviewers come from various disciplines, including economics, political science, sociology, law, finance, accounting, management, and engineering. Areas of focus include the utility and network industries providing essential electricity, natural gas, water and wastewater, solid waste, communications, broadband, postal, and public transportation services. Utilities Policy invites submissions that apply various quantitative and qualitative methods. Contributions are welcome from both established and emerging scholars as well as accomplished practitioners. Interdisciplinary, comparative, and applied works are encouraged. Submissions to the journal should have a clear focus on governance, performance, and/or analysis of public utilities with an aim toward informing the policymaking process and providing recommendations as appropriate. Relevant topics and issues include but are not limited to industry structures and ownership, market design and dynamics, economic development, resource planning, system modeling, accounting and finance, infrastructure investment, supply and demand efficiency, strategic management and productivity, network operations and integration, supply chains, adaptation and flexibility, service-quality standards, benchmarking and metrics, benefit-cost analysis, behavior and incentives, pricing and demand response, economic and environmental regulation, regulatory performance and impact, restructuring and deregulation, and policy institutions.
