Abstract
Currently, energy consumption is an important factor regarding its contribution to economic growth rather than the inputs used for its realization. It is known that economic decision units are linked to energy consumption. Innovation of technologies and the use of technology in production increases the energy demand. Energy is complementary to labor and capital in countries' economic and technological development.
The study aims to determine the impact of electricity consumption on economic growth by utilizing selected economic indicators for the period between 1996 and 2022 in Turkey. The study uses the ARDL bounds test approach to analyze the cointegration relationship using economic growth, electricity consumption, foreign direct investment, and general price level data. Short and long term effects have been revealed. It is observed that energy consumption and economic growth have a positive relationship with the same direction in the short and long term. Inflation has a negative impact on energy consumption in the short and long term. In addition, the increase in foreign direct investments in the short term leads to a significant increase in energy consumption in the relevant period in Turkey.
