Despite earlier research on green energy; there is still a significant gap in understanding how energy-related uncertainties affect renewable energy consumption (REN); especially in developed nations. Thus; this study explicitly looks into how the energy-related uncertainty index (EUI) can promote (or diminish) REN in sixteen wealthy nations between 2000 and 2020. Furthermore; we attempt to specify the factors of REN and explore whether environmental policy stringency (EPS) and global economic policy uncertainty (GEPU) could help moderate (or intensify) the EUI-REN nexus. To achieve this; we employ different panel data methods. The results underscore that the EUI significantly impacts REN; denoting that higher uncertainties related to energy markets lead to promoting REN. Additionally; the (EUI × EPS) underlines that EPS has a favorable role in increasing the positive effect of the EUI on REN in sample developed countries while (EUI × GEPU) has a detrimental effect. Remarkably; the findings underline that the effect of the EUI on REN is more positive in high EPS countries and that the positive effect of the EUI is more moderate when GEPU is high. The findings also underscore that the development of the financial market; FDI; personal remittances; and EPS positively stimulate REN whereas CO2; total natural resources rents; economic activity; and GEPU have a detrimental impact. The results are robust; and authorities and policymakers are advised to implement a wide range of policy proposals to accomplish sustainable development goals (SDGs) 7 and 13. © 2024 by the author;
