Abstract

A critical factor in promoting sustainability in the face of growing environmental concerns and the need to tackle climate change is the energy utility industry. Data Envelopment Analysis and Markov Chain analysis are used to quantify and extensively examine the findings of this study. The term "green recovery" now describes a fundamental approach for reviving cities and improving the quality of life for its residents. This research looks at how crucial green technology is to the energy industry and how it affects green utilities' effectiveness in encouraging a commitment to sustainability. Utilizing a variety of sources, such as scholarly studies official documents and trade journals, the study investigates the mutually beneficial connection between the uptake of new technologies and energy utilities' dedication to environmentally friendly operations. According to the research, achieving high green utility performance and integrating green technology are closely related.
