The motivation behind this study is to investigate the impact of non-renewable and renewable energy consumption on economic growth for a panel of 99 world countries with energy inclusive production function and then finding the empirical evidences for income and regional classification of world economies. To accomplish this purpose, the study has employed panel estimation techniques of dynamic and fully modified ordinary least square and fixed effects model after confirming Hausman test over the period of 1995-2017. For overall sample, the impact of non-renewable and renewable energy consumption on economic growth is found to be significantly positive while this relationship of energy-growth varies at income and regional classification.
