Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The world is facing unimaginable changes and challenges in various areas and industries, with social/physical distancing and remote working are among the new challenges that may affect energy requirements and consumption. Furthermore, new solutions and public policies for the development of renewable energy are required to protect the environment and to satisfy the demands of society and the economy. Exploring how these new solutions benefit from the explanation of the firm competitive advantage in the new pandemic context and how the digitalization and industry 4.0 technologies can be used to develop new public policies in this area is of particular interest.

This Special Issue encourages researchers, academics, and industry professionals to reveal their conceptual and practical approaches, current observations, and analysis regarding public policies and the development of renewable energy. Qualitative and quantitative studies, literature reviews, syntheses, case studies, interdisciplinary research, and original research papers are welcome.

The relentless advancement of digital technologies has the potential to significantly reshape the energy landscape as digital technologies become increasingly integrated into diverse sectors of the economy. This study explores the intricate relationship between digitalization and energy in EU countries, focusing on its direct and indirect impacts on energy consumption, structure, and intensity. Furthermore, this study explores the mediating mechanisms that facilitate these changes, including the role of technological innovation and government efficiency in the relationship between digitalization and energy outcomes. Focusing on EU countries and using the system-GMM method, this research accounts for the heterogeneity in the impact of digitalization on energy across various member states. It examines the varying effects in different countries, considering their income levels, environmental regulations, and green investments. The results demonstrate that the strategic deployment of digitalization in EU countries substantially benefits the energy sector. By optimizing energy consumption and enhancing the energy structure through the integration of renewable sources, the EU could move closer to its sustainability objectives. Full article
