Energy has an important role in terms of competitiveness and activating the locomotive of
growth. In this context, both non-renewable and renewable energy sources are important factor costs, and
on the other hand, they are important manufacturing inputs. The depletion of fossil energy resources and
the accompanying global and environmental problems have led the world to search for new energy
sources. This quest has directed humanity to renewable energy sources that are available in nature, do not
pollute the environment, and can renew themselves quickly if consumed. The negativities arising from the
use of non-renewable energy resources and their disadvantageous situations in terms of sustainability
have increased the importance attached to the use of renewable energy resources in recent years. From
this perspective, analyzing the relationship network between renewable energy resources and economic
growth has a great importance in terms of determining more efficient and effective policy alternatives.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of renewable energy supply, renewable energy R&D
expenditures and technological innovations in renewable energy on economic growth in the example of
the Netherlands. The findings obtained as a result of the VAR model applied for the 1990-2021 research
period show that the developments in renewable energy supply and renewable energy technologies in the
Netherlands has a positive impact on economic growth.
