Any renewable energy supply chain's (RESC) performance measurement system comprises complex interconnected indicators. Hence, this research aims to propose an integrated RESC performance measurement framework containing all the performance measurement criteria and their indicators. This study identified six critical performance criteria through a combined expert opinion and literature review. RESC performance criteria and indicators are prioritized herein using the neutrosophic enhanced best-worst method (NE-BWM) that considers decision-makers (DM) opinions' confidence rating levels. The top five indicators, i.e., ''supply chain management cost,'' ''energy quality to consumers,'' ''reverse logistics,'' ''product quality,'' and ''information sharing,'' and three critical performance criteria, i.e., ''quality,'' ''supply chain efficiency,'' and ''service to the customer,'' were identified. Findings point to the need for proper coordination/collaboration among RESC partners. Information sharing is a critical component of improving supply chain coordination/collaboration. Experts' subjective inputs in demography are a significant limitation of this study. The NE-BWM results proposed that the top 10 indicators provided 90% of the weightage. According to this accuracy, the primary contribution of the research is the presentation of a comprehensive framework that will help to make the current RESC of emerging economics.

The study explores the resemblance of the countries based on renewable energy consumption (% of total energy consumption). A simplistic clustering approach is applied to implement the segmentation using the gap statistic method. The paper deals with the comparability of countries from the perspective of income level and geographical distribution. The clustering-based results reveal that the values of most mean clusters representing major economies have deteriorated over the past few years. The High and Upper-middle income countries are found to be not following sustainable practices, while Low and Lower-middle income countries are relying much on renewable energy consumption. The outcome is also presented as clusters for geographical distribution and a cross-section distribution of Income level-Region for all economies sampled. The study may assist in policy-making in the wake of the global clean energy transition.
