The energy transition is a constantly evolving process that reconfigures the business model and traditional technologies. On the one hand, new technologies based on alternative energy sources and small-scale renewable energy production facilities, to optimize consumption and costs, reprezent the main concern of the business environment at the local level, but also of households. On the other hand, access to inclusive energy sources implies the definition of economic and social balancs specific to the geographical area, the type of consumers, the capacity of each entity to manage energy independence and financial resources. In this paper we propose to carry out an analysis of the positive and negative externalities of the energy transition on new business model and consumer categories. Statistical and econometric analyses will be developed with specific economic and social indicators, and the measurable effects of the transformation of the energy consumption model at the company levels vs household level will be highlighted. The results obtained suggest the need for an adapted management of activities aimed at environmental securyty and quality of life, especially from the perspective of risks from the management of negative externalities. The novel elements used aim at developing the concept of environmental security from the perspective of improving the quality of life, and of the inclusive expansion of eccess to the new mix of energy resources, with the optimization of choise at the local level. The reserch results will allow theoretical developments - concepts and typologies - but also the indication of practical tools for measuring the effects of the energy transition, by categories of energy resources mix. After a comparative analysis of the local specificities from the perspective of  energy resources and future renewable energy storage facilities, two different areas will be selected, as case studies, and the developed calculation methods will be applied. The main challenge in obtaining consistent results is the availability and access to data and this limitation will also define the application part of the selected analysis algoritms.
