| Indicator description |
The indicator shows the share of total energy needs of a country met by imports from other countries. It is calculated as net imports divided by the gross available energy. Energy dependence = (imports – exports) / gross available energy. |
|---|---|
| Data source and methodology |
The indicator is used to monitor progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 7 on affordable and clean energy. Energy import dependency shows the extent to which a country relies on energy supplied from other countries and is an important indicator of energy security. High dependence on energy imports can expose an economy to changes in international energy market prices and risks of supply disruptions. Reducing energy import dependency can be supported by increasing domestic energy production, developing renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency and diversifying energy sources and supply routes. |
| Coverage and comparability |
Energy import dependency is an important indicator of energy security and the resilience of the energy system. Reducing dependence on imports can be supported by increasing domestic energy production, developing renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency and diversifying energy sources and supply routes. In the European Union, reducing dependence on energy imports is an important element of energy policy and energy security. The REPowerEU initiative aims, among other things, to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels, increase energy efficiency, accelerate the development of renewable energy sources and diversify energy supplies. The indicator is presented for total energy and by individual energy products. The total value provides the main measure of a country’s energy import dependency, while the breakdown by energy products provides further insight into the structure of import dependency. |
| National context and objectives |
Long-term reduction of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s energy import dependency, supported by increased domestic energy production, energy efficiency and the development of renewable energy sources. |

| EU context and objectives |
The long-term objective of the European Union under indicator SDG_07_50 is to reduce energy import dependency by strengthening domestic energy production, improving energy efficiency and increasing the use of renewable energy sources. |
