Even though the existing studies have been investigating the impact of poverty on energy security, the literature overlooks the moderating mechanism of the energy security-poverty nexus. This study examines the role of remittances in moderating the energy security-poverty nexus in 50 developing countries from 2014 to 2020 to fill these gaps. Applying the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), the results provide supportive evidence that remittances play a role in mitigating the negative impact of poverty on energy security. The negative effect of three poverty levels, namely incomes of $1.90 per day, $3.20 per day, and $5.50 per day, declines as a country's remittance level rises. As a result, this study justifies the need to promote more inflow of remittances, which will reduce poverty levels, increase energy access, and contribute to energy security.
