What is it about?
This study explores the factors that influence renewable energy use in Nigeria, highlighting the role of economic conditions and environmental policies. Using advanced statistical methods, we analyze how elements like economic growth, urban development, and CO2 emissions affect the adoption of renewable energy from 1990 to 2022. Our findings reveal how economic and regulatory changes can drive or hinder renewable energy uptake, offering insights that could help policymakers and stakeholders enhance energy strategies in Nigeria and similar contexts.

Perspectives
This study examines the determinants of renewable energy consumption (REC) in Nigeria from 1990 to 2022 using the auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, which effectively captures both long- and short-run dynamics. The findings highlight a complex interplay of economic, environmental, and infrastructural factors shaping REC in Nigeria, revealing both unique national characteristics and divergences from global trends. These results offer critical insights for formulating targeted policies to address Nigeria’s renewable energy challenges.
