The Impact of the Energy Transition on Economic Growth: Empirical Analysis of the Congolese Case
Maxime Wenceslas NGAKOSSO ELENGA
and Jean Elvis MOBOULA
Abstract
In a global context marked by climatic uncertainties, due to the use of fossil fuels, Congo has embarked on a
new energy strategy for several decades aimed at developing renewable energy sources. This article
analyzes the impact of the energy transition on economic growth in Congo-Brazzaville. To study the
impact, we used the ARDL model as well as Granger causality tests on data from the period from 1990 to
2024. Our results show that there is a strong cointegration between our variables and confirm the
neutrality hypothesis for the case of Congo. Our results also confirm the causal link between economic
growth and the energy transition.
