The datum for countries which belong to middle income group which covers the period between the years from 2001 to 2012 was examined by the panel data analysis method. The obtained results support that there is a bilateral causality relationship between renewable energy resources and human HDI in the short run. In the long run, it was shown that income level, educational expenditure institutional quality and human development index cause of renewable energy resources.
