Abstract: This paper empirically explores the impact of oil price uncertainty on the strategic investment of China's renewable energy enterprises from the perspective of certain substitution relationships between renewable energy enterprises and traditional energy enterprises by using the systematic GMM method. In addition, we propose three specific influence mechanisms for the renewable energy industry. The results of our mechanism analysis show that the uncertainty of oil price will increase the market's expectation of renewable energy enterprises and thus stimulate their investment. While the uncertainty of oil price will restrain the investment expenditure of renewable energy enterprises through risk transmission. The scale of enterprises will affect the above two influencing mechanisms. However, the uncertainty of oil price can hardly influence the strategic investment decision through the stimulation of the renewable energy industry by the consumer market. Our results are helpful to the strategy makers of renewable energy enterprises and the macro policy‐makers of the government.
