<p>The concept of the renewable energy and economic growth (RE-EG) research domain has been getting attention since the late 20th century. As the RE-EG research domain has evolved into a multidimensional field, many researchers have applied various methods, tools, and techniques to explore the connection between the two. Although there are extensive research studies on this domain, there is still fragmentation in the existing studies. Therefore, this study aims to synthesize the extensive existing literature into a cohesive representation of the entire domain by conducting a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of data from a total of 992 articles published in the Scopus database between 1994 and 2025. Using tools such as Biblioshiny and VOSviewer, this study identifies the publication trend, potential authors, and journals. Findings show a sharp increase in publications after 2014, which can be correlated with global agendas on sustainability, such as the Rio + 20 Summit and the Sustainable Development Goals. China, Turkey, and Pakistan become the leading contributors, and Energy is the most productive journal, with the highest citations per article. The intellectual structure of keywords highlights that the green economy and green investments using renewables are the most trending and emerging topics of the domain. The co-citation analysis of the conceptual structure describes the theoretical as well as methodological evolution, while bibliographic coupling describes technological, financial, and infrastructural challenges that are prevalent, especially in developing nations. Future researchers, academicians, and policymakers should keep these challenges in consideration and make strategies to overcome them.</p>
