The article’s aim is to identify the features of EU external energy policy. The author analyses the evolution of EU energy policy and ongoing energy transition, using the primary and secondary legislation and scientific literature. Particular attention is paid to the European Green Deal, which affects EU energy relations with third countries. Azerbaijan was chosen as the case of analysis, because this country is the one of important suppliers of the natural gas to the European Union. The author concludes that the Europeanisation of Azerbaijan through mechanisms of conditionality and externalisation is beneficial to both the EU and Azerbaijan, and this, in turn, will push Azerbaijan to follow the European Green Deal.

Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja cech zewnętrznej polityki energetycznej Unii Europejskiej. Autor analizuje ewolucję polityki energetycznej UE i trwającą transformację energetyczną, wykorzystując ustawodawstwo pierwotne i wtórne oraz literaturę naukową. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono strategii Europejskiego Zielonego Ładu, który wpływa na stosunki energetyczne UE z krajami trzecimi. Do analizy przypadku wybrano Azerbejdżan jako kraj będący jednym z ważnych dostawców gazu ziemnego do państw członkowskich UE. W konkluzjach autor wskazuje, że europeizacja Azerbejdżanu poprzez mechanizmy warunkowości i eksternalizacji jest korzystna zarówno dla UE, jak i Azerbejdżanu, a to z kolei może skłonić Azerbejdżan do podążania za Europejskim Zielonym Ładem.
