Özet:

Energy is of great importance for the sustainability of social and economic life. Energy consumption in the world has increased gradually depending on the economic development. Fossil fuels, which are frequently used in energy production, cause environmental degradation. Therefore, countries have turned their attention to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass. In this context, the relationship between economic growth and wind energy use was analyzed for 23 developing countries using the data of 2004-2016 and the Driscoll and Kraay estimator. The findings obtained as a result of the study prove that the increase in wind energy has a positive and significant effect on economic growth in the mentioned countries.
