Abstract: This paper examines the influence of humanitarian aid, economic growth, human development index), and foreign direct investment on electricity generation in 37 OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries from 1995 to 2022. This study, based on the application of the Cross-Sectional Augmented Autoregressive Distributed Lag (CS-ARDL) model, finds that humanitarian aid, economic growth, and human development index promote electricity generation in the long term. The study also finds that foreign direct investment significantly reduces electricity generation. The OECD countries and aid organisations should design programmes to foster clean energy infrastructure and align with Sustainable Development Goals for a more sustainable global energy landscape.
