Energy Diversification: Determinant of Environment Sustainability, Economic Growth and Climate Change in Oyo State

Abstract The study investigated the influence of energy diversification on environment sustainability and economic growth in Oyo state. A survey research design was used in the study. The Energy Diversification on Environment Sustainability and Economic Growth Rating Scale (EDESEG) was the research tool modified for the study. 181 depressed people from different economic sectors in Nigeria make up the study’s sample. The reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s Alpha, and the coefficient was r=0.83. For the study, the purposive sampling approach was used. ANCOVA was used to examine the data. Three hypotheses were proposed and examined at the significance level of 0.05. The outcome showed significant main effect of energy diversification on environment sustainability (F (2, 23) = 52.171; p>0.05, partial η2 = .228). Also, it was revealed that energy diversification was significantly predict economic growth (F (1, 24) = .705.; p0.05, partial η2 = .155). However, it was concluded that energy security and the long-term transition to sustainability depend heavily on energy diversity, and recommendations were made in the end.
