We propose a dark energy model based on the physics of critical phenomena which is consistent with both the Planck’s CMB and the Riess et al.’s local Hubble measurements. In this model the dark energy density behaves like the magnetization of the Ising model. This means the dark energy is an emergent phenomenon and we named it critically emergent dark energy model, CEDE. In CEDE, dark energy emerges at a transition redshift, $z_c$, corresponding to the critical temperature in critical phenomena. Combining the Planck CMB data and local measurement of the Hubble constant from Riess et al. (2019) we find statistically significant support for this transition with respect to the case of very early transition that represents effectively the cosmological constant. This is understandable since CEDE model naturally prefers larger values of Hubble constant consistent with local measurements. Since CEDE prefers a non-trivial transition when we consider both high redshift Planck CMB data and local Hubble constant measurements, we conclude that $H_0$ tension can be a hint for the substructure of the dark energy as a well-studied properties of critical phenomena.
