Abstract: Abstract The study investigated the influence of electricity supply on economic growth in Nigeria. The design was a survey of 225 owners of small and medium enterprises in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. A structured questionnaire was used to elicit the desired information from the respondents. Structural equations modelling served to analyse the data elicited from the respondents. The results showed that electricity supply influences work condition (office temperature, pumping of water, and production equipment), work condition has a significant influence on productivity, and productivity mediates the relationship between work condition and economic growth. However, electricity supply for office temperature and ict does not have any significant influence on economic growth.
