Abstract: Enhancing sustainable performance is critical for renewable energy enterprises grappling with supply chain vulnerabilities. This study employs a DID model for regression analysis with data spanning from 2012 to 2023. The results show that digital transformation significantly enhances the sustainable performance of renewable energy enterprises by improving supply chain intelligence and coordination efficiency. The digital economy improves energy supply stability and sustainability by optimizing production and inventory management, enhancing supply chain coordination, and enabling green technology integration with renewables. The analysis identifies key conditions: the maturity of energy factor markets enables supply chain digitalization to enhance enterprises' sustainable performance. Additionally, the unique climate sensitivity of energy enterprises leads to stronger energy resilience improvements in firms with higher exposure to climate risks. However, the inherent risks of energy supply chains, capital intensity, and stakeholder oversight pose challenges to their sustainable governance practices.
