Abstract

This research aims to integrate the severity of energy poverty with a multidimensional indicator established using the GRA-SRA methodology. In this case study, N11 nations utilize data from 2001 to 2017 to create a multidimensional indicator of energy poverty by integrating 13 indicators for N11 nations (energy availability, energy cleanliness, and energy accessibility). This study combines the severity of energy poverty with a multidimensional indicator developed with the GRA-SRA approach. In this case study, N11 nations use data from 2001 to 2017 to build a multidimensional indicator of energy poverty by integrating 13 indicators for N11 nations (energy availability, energy cleanliness, and energy accessibility). South Korea discovered disparities in energy poverty among the N11 countries. It has steadily reduced its energy poverty, whereas Iran has experienced a reduction. Patterns of variation: This report also addresses global energy requirements for low-income people. According to the study, the type of energy utilized for heating is crucial in an environment of poverty and inequality. This study emphasizes the significance and use of cross-national comparisons. All locations share climate and other environmental characteristics. Energy poverty decreases as energy availability increases. Reduced energy poverty, on the other hand, leads to fewer economic disparities.
