This study delves into the critical contemporary issue of global energy transition, focusing on European countries from 2004 to 2021. Its objective is to identify countries with similar rates of energy transition, utilising statistical measures and clustering techniques on Eurostat data. The paper explores energy efficiency, renewable sources, and energy import reliance. Findings show reduced primary energy consumption in EU-27, varied energy efficiency trends, and notable differences in renewables and import dependence. Clustering countries unveil diverse transition speeds. Policymakers can tailor effective strategies based on regional challenges and successes, fostering a nuanced understanding of economic, social, and environmental dynamics in the energy transition. This analysis offers valuable insights for informed policy-making in the complex landscape of global energy transformation.

Niniejsze badanie skupia się na kluczowym współczesnym zagadnieniu globalnej transformacji energetycznej, koncentrując się na krajach europejskich w latach 2004-2021. Jego celem jest zidentyfikowanie krajów o podobnych tempach przejścia energetycznego, wykorzystując statystyczne miary i techniki grupowania na danych z Eurostatu. Artykuł eksploruje trzy aspekty transformacji energetycznej: efektywność energetyczną, odnawialne źródła energii i zależność od importu energii. Wyniki wskazują na spadek zużycia energii pierwotnej w UE-27, zróżnicowane trendy efektywności energetycznej oraz istotne różnice w odnawialnych źródłach i zależności od importu. Grupowanie krajów ujawnia różne tempo transformacji. Decydenci polityczni mogą dostosowywać skuteczne strategie, uwzględniając regionalne wyzwania i sukcesy, sprzyjając wyważonemu zrozumieniu dynamicznych relacji ekonomicznych, społecznych i środowiskowych w procesie transformacji energetycznej. Analiza ta oferuje cenne spojrzenie na potrzeby podejmowania decyzji w kontekście skomplikowanego krajobrazu globalnej transformacji energetycznej.
