Summary/Abstract: The extraordinary technological evolution of the last period has significantly contributed to the activity carried out on the international scene through a variety of factors. This development has proved essential in stimulating technological innovation throughout society and in all sectors of the economy, including the energy sector. In the context of contemporary economic, social and geopolitical dynamics, energy continues to be one of the topics of great interest to all actors in the international relations scene. The international environment was marked by significant technological and informational transformations, which generated new foundations for development but also remarkable challenges. One of the current challenges is the digitalization of this sector in order to be able to supply the energy necessary for the proper functioning of today's society, a society based on increasing energy consumption. Therefore, it is crucial for all energy operators to ensure good security of the entire energy system, as this sector is seen as a key component of security, stability and growth. The digitalisation of the energy sector is of particular importance for the international environment, thus enabling energy consumers to reposition themselves and make a significant contribution to a new design for energy markets. This digitisation process offers new opportunities to all actors in this field, by optimizing important assets, integrating renewable energies from variable resources, their distribution but also reducing operational costs. A modern, digitized and secure energy system should provide a productive, efficient and secure environment by creating and deploying the most innovative services undertaken with the support of all international actors. These reasons are just some of the key elements in the upward direction of the contemporary energy sector.
