摘要：This study employed the composite energy security index developed (CESI) by B. K. Sovacool (2011) to compare Ghana’s energy security situation with those of 34 other countries — ASEAN, USA, EU, Japan, South Korea, China., India, Oceania, and 17 African countries — over a 20-year period. The aim is to determine which metrics of the composite index these countries outperformed Ghana. These metrics were captured under the categories of availability, affordability, technology development and efficiency, environmental sustainability, and regulation and governance. The top five performers were Brunei (273), Japan (260), New Zealand (254), USA (253), and EU (252) while the five worst performers were (from the bottom) Tunisia (123), Libya (124), Algeria (127), Egypt (128), and Morocco (132). Ghana was 17 th , with a score of 185. The best-performing African countries were Congo DR (201), Cameroun (201), Angola (200), Tanzania (199), and Zambia (187). Ghana was the sixth best performer amongst the African countries.
