“…Jordan, which is 95% dependent on imported energy supplies from neighboring countries, also has a critical energy security situation. Due to political developments in the Middle East, Jordan has had a disruption in gas supplies from Egypt, which has had a negative impact on the country's economy (Alrwashdeh, 2022). A similar situation with natural gas shortages is observed in Pakistan.…”

This paper analyzes various aspects of energy dependency and identifies the hidden factors behind national energy security. Based on a review of the scientific literature, the factors that reduce energy security in the consumption of natural gas, oil, and nuclear energy generation were identified. One such factor is import dependency on energy resources. Import dependency on energy is a crucial characteristic of energy security and can exacerbate the effects of external aggression, non-competitive behavior, and pressure. Given the energy crisis of 2022, most countries around the world have revised their energy security policies to reduce import dependency by diversifying supplies and reducing dependence on Russian energy resources. The factor analysis of energy dependency ratios, 1990-2020, was used to study the energy security of the EU27 countries. The factor analysis was performed for annual indices calculated using the Eurostat database of “Simplified energy balances.” The paper hypothesized the existence of latent relationships between energy security variables for the twenty-seven EU countries. The hypothesis was verified using Bartlett’s sphericity test and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin criterion. The results of hypothesis testing showed its statistical significance (the p-value < 0.05) and the possibility of factor analysis. Correspondence indices also indicated the adequacy of possible prediction of a set of variables. The factor analysis was executed in Python using the FactorAnalyzer module (the release 0.4.0). The principal factor extraction and the varimax rotation model were used to obtain the initial solution, preserving the orthogonality of the loading matrix. The factor structure of the model was confirmed for four factors consisting of the twenty-eight elements. The received four factors model allowed us to describe around 80% of the cumulative variance. It was found that each factor separately explained 46.89%, 15.80%, 10.91%, and 6.39% of the variance, respectively.

“…Energy of all kinds is considered the first strategic goal for the countries of the world, and with the availability of energy, internal stability is achieved in the countries, as most of the problems of the modern era depend on energy, its sources, and its availability. From here, the interest in energy appeared in terms of sources, as different countries of the world began to pay attention to what it contains of energy sources and try to search for other unexplored sources and new alternative sources [3].…”

Energy and energy security are strategic goals for various countries of the world because energy is an important component of life. As the energy problem is gradually aggravating worldwide, especially with the increasing demand for it by a large percentage, and it is expected that these percentages will rise significantly during the coming period because of population growth and the significant increase in the number of various industrial and service establishments. Currently, most countries are seeking to rationalize in energy consumption, and to search for alternatives to energy sources. Hence, there is a keen interest in energy sources and their alternatives. In this study, energy sources and their alternatives in Jordan were identified in order to get an adequate idea of w hat is available in Jordan from this area. Jordan is one of the poor countries in traditional energy sources, and one of the countries most affected by the high prices and the shortage in the production of crude oil and other energy components, and its negative repercussions on the Jordanian economy, as Jordan imports oil and natural gas from neighboring countries 90 % of its needs Energy, which is approximately 8 %-10 % of GDP. This study attempts to shed light on the existing energy sources in Jordan with the aim of exploring ways to improve the energy situation in the country by increasing reliance on renewable energy alternatives such as wind and solar energy instead of relying on imported oil and gas.

“…Although the COVID-19 health issue has made Jordan's economic difficulties much worse, the nation is determined to advance the use of domestic energy resources [13]. Jordan became a leader in the area of renewable energy as the percentage of electricity generated from renewable sources increased from 13 percent in 2019 to over 26 percent in 2021 [14]. The nation has put in place essential laws and policies to encourage the growth of renewable energy sources, such as solar photovoltaic (PV) and onshore wind.…”

The potential for free, clean, and limitless energy from renewable sources has long been recognized. However, because of a lack of thorough wind and solar maps, expertise, and public understanding of the significance of these resources in the country, Jordan continues to rely on non-renewable sources for its energy needs. The main objective of this study is to analyze the potential of solar and wind energies as renewable resources for power generation. Weibull distribution function with two parameters and the Angstrom-Prescott model, respectively, are used in this study to offer estimates of the wind and solar energy in the coastal city of Jordan, Aqaba during a five-year period. According to the assessment of wind potential, the annual means of the shape and scale parameters at 10 m for the studied station varied between (1.65 to 1.73) and (4.42 to 4.86), respectively. During the dry season, the wind speed was seen to be stronger, while during the wet season, it was seen to be slower. The maximum power density is found to be in September with values of 622.81 W/m2 and 192.74 W/m2 for the elevations 80 m and 10 m, respectively. According to the forecast for solar potential in this area, the city's global solar radiation is promising for the production of solar energy. The maximum global solar radiation is found to be 8.3 KWh/m2 in June. Results also demonstrated that Aqaba city is suitable for wind and solar power generation.
