This　study　investigates　the　influence　of　economic　policy　uncertainty,　financial　development,　environmental　governance,　and　informal　economy　on　renewable　energy　consumption　in　BRICST　economies　using　continuously　updated　fully　modified　(CUP-FM),　and　continuously　updated　bias-corrected　(CUP-BC)　estimators.　Our　preliminary　findings　confirm　cross-sectional　dependency,　data　non-stationarity,　and　cointegration　across　model　variables.　The　long-run　results　show　that　economic　policy　uncertainty　reduces　renewable　energy　consumption,　while　financial　development,　environmental　regulations,　and　shadow　economy　significantly　facilitate　renewable　energy.　Manifestly,　environmental　regulations　exhibit　the　strongest　marginal　influence　on　renewable　energy　consumption.　Similar　findings　are　endorsed　using　alternative　estimators　and　suggest　that　stringent　environmental　regulations,　stable　economic　policies,　and　promoting　financial　depth,　access,　and　width　facilitate　the　renewable　energy　transition.　Thus,　an　integrated　ecological　governance　policy　is　required　to　regulate　and　divert　financial　resources　toward　green　energy　and　sustained　development.
