“…ES1 covers ES8, hydroelectric power, and other types of energy like nuclear power. There has been a continuous argument on the effects of hydroelectric power, nuclear power on the sustainability of energy security (Lee et al 2016 ). As indicated by the U.S.EIA, the environmental influences of nuclear energy are more complex compared to other clean or renewable energy sources.…”

This paper empirically analyses the impacts of the digital transformation process in the business and public sectors on energy security (ES). We employ 8 indicators to represent four aspects of energy security, including availability, acceptability, develop-ability, and sustainability. Digital businesses development is captured by e-Commerce (including e-Commerce sales, e-Commerce turnover, e-Commerce web sales) and e-Business (including customer relation management (CRM) usage and cloud usage). Digital public services development is reflected by business mobility and key enablers. Different econometric techniques are utilized in a database of 24 European Union countries from 2011 to 2019. Our estimation results demonstrate that digital businesses play a critical role in improving the acceptability and develop-ability of energy security, while digitalization in public services supports achieving energy sustainability goals. The use of modern digital technology such as big data, cloud computing is extremely important to ensure the security of the energy system, especially the availability of energy. For further discussion on the role of digital public services, we reveal a nonlinear association between digitalization in the public sector and energy intensity and energy consumption, suggesting the acceptability and develop-ability of energy security can be enhanced if the digital transformation process achieves a certain level.

“…On the basis of a review of the related literature about energy security between 2001-2015, Ang initially summarized seven dimensions of energy security [29], and other scholars before and after him also have deeply studied this issue. These dimensions include energy availability [30][31][32][33], infrastructure [34][35][36], energy prices [37,38], societal effects [39], environment [40][41][42][43], governance [44], and energy efficiency [45,46], which almost cover all of the aspects of the energy system. However, he points out that due to the different emphases of the existing research, not all of the metrics need to be included in any single research study.…”

Abstract:Energy security and sustainability are crucial factors for the development of China. The creation of an evaluation theoretical system of the energy has theoretical and practical significance that is important for ensuring the safe and sustainable development of energy security that matches the national development phase and reflects the sustainable development of national energy. Sustainable energy security must not only take into account the security of energy supply-demand in the long-term and short-term, it must also focus on the coordinated development between energy, the environment, and the economy in China. This paper proposes five dimensions of energy security (availability, accessibility, affordability, acceptability, and develop-ability) to construct China's Sustainable Energy Security (CSES) evaluation index model. Based on the model, an empirical study of China's energy security is carried out with data from 2005 to 2015, and dynamic changing trends are analyzed accordingly. The results indicate that availability and develop-ability are the most important weights in China's Sustainable Energy Security index system, where availability shows a general downward trend, and develop-ability presents an inverted U-type trend, with its lowest point in 2011. From 2008 to 2012, China's sustainable energy security had been at risk. Taking the year 2010 as the demarcation, two phases were obtained: before and after 2010, during which the level of China's sustainable energy security first dropped, and then rose. However, compared with 2005, CSES level decreased by 28% in 2015 due to the decline of availability and accessibility. During 2005-2015, China's energy security system had relative high scores in acceptability and develop-ability, while the sustained downward trend of availability is in need of more regulation.

“…Restricted areas currently designated as protected, cultivation rights, production forests, and other regions not allocated for any human-physical development were considered through regional and national regulations in determining the nuclear power plant site. Also considered was the possibility of locating these plants near the coastline to facilitate the use of more environmentally friendly reactor coolants, such as water, gas, or sodium [ 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ].…”
