| Abstract | This study investigated the impact of information communication technology and economic growth (measured as gross domestic product) on electricity consumption for a panel consisting of five emerging economic powerhouses, namely Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. A dynamic panel data model for the period 1990–2014 was used for the analysis. The first main finding shows a positive and statistically significant effect of information communication technology uptake on electricity consumption. The second finding indicates that economic growth also has a positive and statistically significant effect on electricity consumption in these five countries. |
