The proliferation of digital technologies has brought various advantages and disadvantages to the energy sector. This situation has led to the emergence of the digital paradox in literature. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of studies in the literature using the keywords “emerging technologies” and “energy sector” to shed light on the digital paradox in the literature. In this way, the trends, prominent themes, and focal points in literature have been examined. The research seeks to answer the question of whether the emerging technologies are an advantage or a disadvantage for the energy sector. The findings indicate that, considering regional differences, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and adaptation challenges, emerging technologies can reduce operational costs and provide sustainability gains. Furthermore, digitalization for the energy sector is recognized as a multidimensional transformation dependent on policy, institutional capacity, and socio-economic context, rather than simple advancement.
