Project Description: Over the past few decades, the topic of solving environmental problems and climate change has drawn attention from all over the world. Converting from fossil fuels to renewable energy is one of the most significant aspects of this issue. This study aims to clarify the impact of changes in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the adoption of renewable energy sources on electricity demand patterns and carbon emissions in Germany, Sweden, and Bulgaria from 2000 to 2021. These three countries were selected to represent a different spectrum of economic development and renewable energy profiles. The results of this analysis could offer valuable insights into the effectiveness of sustainable economic growth in reducing energy consumption and emissions.
