Abstract

Jordan, which depends largely on imported fuel, is confronted with an increasing demand for energy due to regional socio-political dynamics and population growth. This dependence highlights the necessity of locally supplied, sustainable energy sources to reduce environmental damage and economic vulnerability. Thus, the goal of this study is to categorize these sources based on their priorities for use, as well as to develop and evaluate sustainable RE technologies. In order to diversify the energy portfolio, lessen reliance on fossil fuels, and offer suggestions for sustainable growth, this study investigates renewable energy sources (RES) in Jordan. A model is developed to study and evaluate RES technologies and introduce actions for their exploitation. In order to prioritize renewable energy sources and improve energy independence and sustainability, this paper looks at renewable energy technologies that are feasible for Jordan, using a variety of MCDM methodologies. This study emphasizes Jordan’s urgent need for green, sustainable energy, highlighting solar, hydropower, and wind projects as the most advantageous options, promoting energy independence. The outcomes designate the applicability of the proposed model and integrated tools for analyzing renewable energy technology. The findings assist a shift toward energy independence and sustainability by providing decision-makers with a systematic, data-driven method for prioritizing green energy investments.
