Subject. This article discusses the problem of a comprehensive and objective assessment of energy security. Objectives. The article aims to compare the main energy security indices used at the international level. Methods. For the study, I used the methods of systems, comparative, and structural analyses. Results. The article finds that energy security indices do not always fully take into account the specifics of each particular country. Conclusions. In the context of sanctions, the development of an index of energy security of the Russian Federation, reflecting socio-political, technological and environmental aspects, becomes an important task.
Keywords: energy security, index, challenges and threats, national interests, energy, renewable energy sources, Russia, USA
