The more frequent meteorological anomalies and climate changes push us to consider green sustainable energy as a chance to slow down such issues. Thus, we should introspect the correlations between indicators over time and understand the underneath of their meaning. Large volumes of data regarding energy are provided by Eurostat and other official data sources that require data analytics to extract valuable insights from energy indicators and indices to better understand the dynamics towards a green energy transition of the European Union State Members (EU-SM). In this paper, we analyze several energy indicators calculated for a 12-year time span with statistics and machine learning techniques, such as an unsupervised clustering algorithm with Self-Organizing Maps (SOM). Grouping the EU-SM by energy indicators from the beginning years to the end of the analyzed interval reveals differences and similarities in their efforts, shifted trends, influencing power and tendencies towards a green energy transition. The results of our analyses can be further used to assess the efficiency of stimuli for green energy generation and improve the policymakers' strategies.

Last decade evolutions on telecommunications changed the way the information is created and presented. New technologies, has allowed the transition from static presentation of information, to a dynamic way, directly involving users. The Web is currently a platform that allows users to interact with each other, to facilitate the exchange of information. Users have become, from mere consumers of information in the online environment, active participants which increases the information content.
