Source-wise power generation dataset of Australia, France, Germany, United States and United Kingdom

This dataset, developed to complement the article “Forecasting and predictive analysis of source-wise power generation along with economic aspects for developed countries” in Energy Conversion and Management: X, compiles meticulously curated records of energy production and economic indicators for Australia, the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, covering the period 1968–2022. It integrates source-wise electricity generation (coal, oil, gas, nuclear, hydro, solar, wind, biomass) with R&D investment trends and low-carbon transition metrics, offering a high-quality foundation for advanced forecasting, machine learning applications, and techno-economic policy analysis. By enabling cross-country comparisons of renewable integration, fossil fuel dependency, and the economic impact of RD&D strategies, this dataset provides researchers and policymakers with a rare opportunity to replicate, validate, and expand predictive models while uncovering new insights into sustainable energy planning. Its structured, ready-to-use format not only enhances reproducibility but also positions it as a valuable reference for future studies in energy forecasting, climate policy, and global economic development.
