“…Global energy establishments and experts advocate the use of modern renewable energy as a mechanism for tackling risks associated with climate change and dangerous greenhouse gases (Fawzy et al ., 2020), as opposed to non-renewables (such as fossil fuels and nuclear) and traditional renewable energies (mainly forest-based) that cause these climate change risks (Kyayesimira and Muheirwe, 2021; Hafezi and Alipour, 2021; Osabuohien et al ., 2015). Traditional renewable energy entails dirty carbonated energy obtained using simple methods and is mainly forest-based, whereas modern renewable energy consists of clean non-carbonated energy that requires modern technologies such as solar, hydro, wind and geothermal energy (Bhattacharyya, 2019; Yilanci and Gorus, 2021).…”

PurposeThis study aims to examine the effect of governance on the consumption of modern renewable energy in the East African Community (EAC), controlling for economic growth, trade openness and foreign direct investment (FDI).Design/methodology/approachThe study relied on secondary data sourced from the World Development Indicators, World Governance Indicators and the International Energy Agency (IEA) for the EAC from 1996 to 2019. A panel Cross-Sectional Augmented Distributed Lag (CS-ARDL) model and second-generation panel data models were employed in the analysis.FindingsThe findings indicate that poor governance and inadequate FDI are significantly responsible for the low level of modern renewable energy consumption (MREC) in the EAC. On the other hand, trade openness significantly enhances MREC, while GDP per capita has no significant effect on MREC.Originality/valueThe consumption of modern renewable energy sources (excluding the traditional use of biomass) and its determinants, as most studies focus on renewable energy consumption as a whole. The study also employed the panel CS-ARDL model and second-generation panel data models.
