This study presents an assessment of Pakistan's energy security performance by measuring its Energy Security Index (ESIOP) for the years 1991–2040. The ESIOP consists of 39 indicators finalized by discrimination analysis, reliability testing and weighted through principal component analysis (PCA). On the basis of results, Pakistan's energy security performance shows a declining trend at a moderate level between 1991 and 2020 followed by an upward trend until 2040. The analysis shows that Pakistan's current policy is not effective in improving performance owing to its high import dependence and governance issues. As a result, Pakistan is vulnerable, therefore appropriate means of identifying risks in the energy mix and their correlation in energy planning and energy security may be improved upon.

本研究通过衡量 1991-2040 年的能源安全指数 (ESIOP) 来评估巴基斯坦的能源安全绩效。ESIOP由39个指标组成，通过判别分析、可靠性测试和主成分分析（PCA）加权确定。结果表明，巴基斯坦能源安全绩效在1991年至2020年间呈中等水平下降趋势，随后到2040年呈上升趋势。治理问题。因此，巴基斯坦很脆弱，因此可以改进识别能源结构中风险及其在能源规划和能源安全中的相关性的适当方法。
