This study investigates the relationship between renewable energy technology adoption and the performance of Information Technology (IT) Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Rivers State, Nigeria. The study examines the influence of consumer attitude, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use on performance, as well as the moderating role of firm size. Utilizing a structured questionnaire, data were collected from 70 randomly selected IT SMEs. The correlation analysis revealed substantial positive relationships between consumer attitude, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and performance with correlation coefficients of 0.795, 0.798, 0.0822, 0.0841, 0.992, 0.946, 0.933, 0.697, and 0.959 respectively, and corresponding p-values of 0.000. Furthermore, firm size was found to significantly moderate the relationship between renewable energy technology adoption and performance, with a correlation coefficient of 0.58 and a p-value of 0.015. The results of this study provide empirical support for the critical role of renewable energy technology adoption in enhancing the performance of IT SMEs. The findings suggest that positive consumer attitudes, perceived usefulness, and ease of use of renewable energy technologies are key drivers of improved organizational performance. Moreover, the moderating effect of firm size highlights the importance of considering organizational characteristics in the adoption of green technologies. The study recommends the need to foster positive consumer attitudes towards renewable energy, enhance the perceived usefulness and ease of use of these technologies, and consider firm size in their strategic planning.
