“…However, the issue of index construction has been widely researched in different topics, such as sustainable economic welfare [20], responsible investment [21], sustainability measurement [22], quality of life [23], assessment of air quality [24], and energy sustainability of rural communities [25]. Also, renewable energy was a key sector for designing indexes identified in literature as FFSI [26], AESPI [27], RECAI [28], EPI [29], RERII [21], SSEI [30], and GSI [31]. In the context of the above, we consider it appropriate to create an index that measures the sustainability of renewable energy in each country.…”

Renewable energy is a global interest area in achieving sustainable development. Renewable energy sustainability has been assessed using the most commonly used dimensions of this concept: economic, environmental, social, and institutional dimensions. In this paper, we designed a composite index named the Renewable Energy Sustainability Index. The proposed index may represent a national monitoring mechanism that points out the strengths and weaknesses of a state in terms of renewable energy. The data were normalized by calculating the z-score. We tested the proposed index on a selection of 15 European countries ranked by final energy consumption and with different levels of development. The Kayser-Mayer-Olkin values were above the 0.700 limit, which indicates the robustness of each dimension. The proposed index reveals the development stages of renewable energy sustainability and can provide solutions to increase the sustainability of a country by improving positive impact indicators and mitigating negative impact indicators.

“…This procedure is labeled 'bottom up', since the integrative index varies according to the single indicators' behavior (Tran et al, 2007;Mayer, 2008). Value normalization usually precedes the averaging procedure in order to facilitate the comparison of the values for different indicators (Ronchi et al, 2002;Ediger et al, 2007). This technique uses the minimum and maximum values of the analyzed sample to make them dimensionless.…”

“…The first development step is usually to define the scope of the index. For example, Ediger et al (2007) proposed an index to measure countries' fossil fuels sustainability. Following this goal, they defined that the index would only consider oil, natural gas and coal.…”

“…Energy import structure of Turkey with a special reference to oil As a result of rapid increase in demand in comparison with production since 1950, Turkey has been an energy import dependent country (Ediger et al, 2007). Its primary energy consumption increased from 6.92 to 106.34 mtoe between 1950 and 2008 with an average rate of increase of 4.9%.…”
