Sustainability as a Paradigm of Energy Policy

Abstract

The overall energy concept will be the priority matter in the agendas of the various governments in the coming years. The economic prosperity and development of knowledge of nations inevitably depends on energy. For that reason, it is important that institutions establish policies that promote energy sustainability of countries. But their different energy and territorial situation complicate obtaining a suitable model of indicators which could be used to build policies on energy to promote a sustainable development. In short, in this article the fundamental premises are determined to define a indicators model for energy sustainability of countries. Similarly other subsystems about sustainable development are defined. A starting model for the definition of energy policies has been set to take into account all the variables and their relationships.
