    (Makerere University Business School, Kampala, Uganda, 2024-11-04) Ayoku Emmanuel
    Globally, renewable energy has gained significant attention as nations strive to increase its share in their energy mixes to mitigate environmental challenges and address the pressing issue of climate change. This study investigates the determinants of renewable energy consumption in Uganda, focusing on GDP per capita, carbon dioxide emissions, access to electricity, trade openness, and human development index. Utilizing a longitudinal research design with time series and quantitative approaches, we analyze data from the World Bank database covering 1990 to 2020. using the STATA statistical package. The analysis reveals both short-run and long-run relationships between Renewable energy consumption (Rec) and various factors, including GDP per capita (Gdp pc), Carbon dioxide emissions (Co2), Access to electricity (AE), Human Development Index (HDI), and Trade openness (TO).
