Transformation of the Energy Infrastructure in the Context of the Implementation of the European Green Deal

At the current stage of climatic changes and global economic transformations the problems of energy infrastructure development are extremely important. And these issues are especially relevant in the conditions of the rapid development of the green economy. In view of this, the purpose of this paper is to determine trends and key areas of research on energy infrastructure transformation based on bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer software. The article specifies the meaning of the terms “energy infrastructure”, “transformation”, “transformation of energy infrastructure”. A bibliometric analysis of the relationship between the terms “energy infrastructure” and “transformation or green transformation or digital transformation or climate change” was performed. It was established that the use of renewable energy sources in recent years has been recognized as a strategic direction of energy infrastructure transformation in many European countries. A statistical analysis of changes in the share of renewable energy sources in electricity production and the specific weight of wind and solar energy in a number of European countries was carried out. It is substantiated that the priority direction of future research should be the development of a mechanism for financial support for the transformation of energy infrastructure using sustainable financing tools, including green investment.
