Renewable energy has attained enormous attention in recent years due to the exhaustion of many energy resources,
and the pollution caused by fossil fuels. However, the adoption of renewable energy sources (RESs) is a
complicated process influenced by multifarious factors. This study aims to investigate factors influencing the
adoption of RESs by the Palestinian industrial and commercial sectors and their effect of this adoption on sustainable
performance, besides examining if the government plays a role in moderating the relationship between
the adoption of RESs and such sustainable performance. To this end, a quantitative method was used to collect
data through questionnaires from 100 top managers in the Palestinian commercial and industrial sectors. The
data analysis was conducted using the Smart PLS software to test the formulated hypotheses. The findings
support the positive relationship between the adoption of RESs and sustainable performance. There is also a
positive relationship between the adoption of RESs and the government’s role. However, the relationship between
the government’s role and sustainable performance is not established, but the government’s role is found
to be a moderator between adopting RESs and sustainable performance.
