The Energy Development Index (EDI) was developed
by the International Energy Agency (IEA) as a measure of the
progress of an economy in modern fuels and modern energy
services. EDI provides an analytical basis for the creation of
policies to measure energy poverty in a country. To calculate
EDI , there are two indicators of access to modern energy
systems for households; Access to electricity and clean cooking
facilities etc. In this study, four indications were set out from two
indicators in order to capture all dimensions of energy
development. They are ; Annual electricity consumption per
person (kWh), share of households using electricity for lighting
(%), share of gaseous fuels used by households for cooking (%)
and the share of households in total energy consumption (%).
The values of each indicator were found and then normalized.
Hence, the average of the four indicators were obtained and
Turkey's EDI value was determined. as well.
