Table 1: Evaluation of the relevant literature studies. [PERSON] et al. [7] conducted a study to decide the best renewable energy alternative for investment to meet Pakistan's growing energy demands. As a result of the study, it was shown that hydel power generation is the most suitable source to meet the energy requirements, followed by wind, biomass, and solar power generation plants. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [8] determined Turkey's energy situation and prioritized alternative renewable energy sources in their study, where they proposed a hybrid model based on BOCR and ANP. In total, 19 criteria were used to evaluate five alternative renewable energy sources. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [9] conducted a comparative analysis of renewable energy sources for electricity generation in Taiwan using WSM, VIKOR, TOPSIS, and ELECTRE methods. The study results showed that hydropower is the best alternative in Taiwan, followed by solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal energy. [PERSON] et al. [10] developed a new framework to evaluate renewable energy development in China from a sustainable development perspective. The results showed that energy sustainability indicators have the highest priority among all standards, and hydropower is the best choice among renewable energy sources in China. [PERSON] et al. [11] analyzed OPEC countries according to 41 sustainability indicators in 10 dimensions by using the CoCoSo approach from multi-criteria decision-making methods. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [12] utilized multi-criteria decision-making techniques to evaluate six different power plants in terms of main criteria such as technology and sustainability, economic viability, quality of life, and socio-economics. [PERSON] et al. [13], who developed a study to help policy makers better understand energy planning issues with their proposed tool, utilized the AHP method for better planning and decisions in the energy sector. Selecting sustainable electricity production technologies with MULTIMOORA and TOPSIS methods, [PERSON] et al. [14] proved in their work that future energy policy should be oriented towards hydro and solar energy technologies. [PERSON] et al. [15] evaluated renewable energy alternatives as a key way to solve Turkive's energy challenges, as Turkive's energy consumption has increased dramatically in the last three decades as a result of economic and social development. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [16] aimed to identify the best renewable energy alternative for Istanbul using an integrated VIKOR-AHP methodology. In the study, alternative energy production sites in the city were also selected using the same approach. [PERSON] et al. [17] tried to identify the directions of geothermal energy development in Poland. The results of the study showed that there is an increasing awareness of the validity of energy extraction efforts in the world, but that this issue is still a major challenge. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [18] examined the relationship between the traditional energy-growth nexus and the sustainable economic welfare-index growth nexus. In the study, a multivariate panel analysis was conducted for American countries for the time period from 1990 to 2013.
