Since data is increasingly recognized as a vital component in production, studying its role in low-carbon energy transition (LCET) is crucial for promoting sustainable urban development. This research focuses on Chinese cities and utilizes a Difference-in-Differences (DID) approach to empirically investigate the effects of data factor development (DFD) on LCET. The results indicate that DFD facilitates urban LCET, with green innovation and high-tech industry agglomeration as essential channels. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that non-central cities, old industrial bases, new energy demonstration cities, and cities with high digital industry activity show more substantial impacts from DFD on LCET. Further analysis reveals that the progress of green financing and the heightened government attention to the low-carbon environment substitute the beneficial effects of DFD on LCET. These findings provide policy insights for urban management authorities to steer economic digital transformation and advance the clean development of energy systems.
