Summary/Abstract: The paper examines energy integration in the European Union as an economic and institutional mechanism for accelerating the green transition. It assesses how the deepening of the internal energy market, cross-border infrastructure and coordinated regulation facilitate the integration of renewable energy into the EU energy system. The analysis combines academic literature, EU strategic and regulatory documents, and Eurostat and European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) data for 2004–2024. The findings show that progress is strongest in the electricity sector, while grid congestion and insufficient cross-border capacity still limit the overall effect of integration.
