“…As long as the consumption and production of tradable goods and services involves the effective use of energy, trade openness can have a significant impact on total energy demand, particularly renewable energy such as biofuels consumption. This is consistent with the results of research by Alola et al (2019).…”

This paper examines the dual efficiency of bioenergy, renewable hydro energy, solar energy, wind energy, and geothermal energy for selected OECD countries through an integrated model with energy, economic, environmental, and social dimensions. Two questions are explored: Which renewable energy alternative is more dual efficient and productive? Which renewable energy alternative is best for a particular country? Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used for the efficiency evaluation, and the global Malmquist productivity index is applied for productivity analysis. Results indicate bioenergy as the most efficient renewable energy alternative with a 20% increase in average efficiency in 2016 compared to 2012. Renewable hydro energy, wind energy, and solar energy show a 17.5%, 16%, and 11% increase, respectively. The average efficiency growth across all renewable energy alternatives signifies major advancement. Country performance in renewable energy is non-monolithic; therefore, they should customize their renewable energy portfolio accordingly to their strengths to enhance renewable energy efficiency. Renewable hydro appears to have the most positive productivity change in 2016 compared to 2012, while solar energy regressed in productivity due to its scale inefficiency. All renewable energy alternatives have relatively equal average pure efficiency change. The positive trend in efficiency and productivity provides an incentive for policy makers to pursue further development of renewable energy technologies with a focus on improving scale efficiency.

“…This suggests that increasing electricity generation and distribution will improve production, which will in turn trigger growth. Renewable energy sources could be the game changer in this regard especially due to the ubiquitous campaign for clean energy (Alola, Alola, & Saint Akadiri, 2019; Alola, Yalçiner, & Alola, 2019; Alola & Yildirim, 2019; Balsalobre‐Lorente, Shahbaz, Roubaud, & Farhani, 2018; Bekun, Emir, & Sarkodie, 2019; Nathaniel, 2019; Nathaniel et al, 2019; Nathaniel & Iheonu, 2019). Renewable energy could be a solution to the country's energy poverty (Nathaniel, Anyanwu, & Shah, 2020; Nathaniel & Bekun, 2019).…”

The study explores the link between electricity consumption, urbanization, and economic growth in Nigeria from 1971 to 2014. The bounds test and the Bayer and Hanck (Journal of Time Series Analysis, 2013, 34(1), 83–95) cointegration tests affirm cointegrating relationship. Electricity consumption increases economic growth in both time periods, while the impact of urbanization appears to inhibit growth. The fully modified OLS, dynamic OLS, and the canonical cointegrating regression confirm the robustness of the findings. The vector error correction model Granger causality test supports the neutrality hypothesis in the short run and the feedback hypothesis among the variables in the long run. Therefore, policies to ensure efficient electricity supply, curb rapid urbanization, and promote sustainable economic growth were suggested.
