— The percentage of the population remaining to get connected to electricity has decreased from 35 % to 4.5 % in this decade. However, 1.3 m illion out of 29 million Nepal’s population still need to be connected to an electricity supply. As most of this population lives in Karnali State, exploitation of renewable energy needs serious attention in this region as other energy sources are expensiv e and beyond reach. Choosing a suitable renewable energy technology that is economically feasible and environmentally acceptable is a topic of interest among researchers. Using one of the Decision Support systems helps in making easier choice for policy ma kers and government levels. In this case the research here -within evaluates among three renewable energy options, i.e., Micro -hydro, Solar Power and Wind power. The research shows that Microhydro would be best suited option in case of Jumla. Keywords —AHP , renewable energy , decision making, I. INTRODUCTION In a decade timeframe Nepal has seen dramatic and staggering slip in the total number of people who are yet to get connected to electricity. 10 years back more than 10 million people were livin g without electricity [1]. But now this number has decreased to 1.3 million. Nevertheless, there are still roughly 4.5% population in Nepal without e lectricity [2]. Though the count ry has scaled up its transmission line and production capacity with huge hydropower under construction, the remaining 4.5% are yet to get connected which will still take more than a decade time[3]. This is mainly because of two reasons. The first being accessibility and second being ineffective policy structure [4-6]. With all the above ordeal we do have a humongous task ahead us as a country in solving energy demand. Before the National grid reaches, we do have a challenge to fulfill the energy demand for that frac tion of time. In this case, we have option to ponder upon based on available renewable energy. But the task is often tormented with difficulty in identifying the right source of energy. In this research we will try to solve this difficulty with use of deci sion tools in our display. For our research we will select one of a district within Nepal with highest energy deficiency. Further we will explore the notion on which renewable energy source will be best to solve the issue of energy demand. This is as per the evaluation of best renewable energy source. For the purpose of research, we have taken a district called Jumla situated in Karnali state within Nepal. Rationale behind the selection of Jumla will be elaborated in the research process and justification section. Our main goal/objective in this research is to identify the main criteria upon which the evaluation of renewable energy will be dependent based on literature review for Jumla Nep al and select the best decision tool for the decision -making task . Moreover, c arry out the data collection, data analysis and interpretation for the research and Finally, point out the findings and its future implication for further research is also the main goal of this research. II. LITREATURE REVIEW Choosing a suitable renewable energy technology that is economically feasible and environmentally acceptable is a topic of interest among researchers working in this field because of the availability of different kinds of renewable energy sources in the region [2]. Researchers have argu ed that renewable energy technologies such as micro and mini hydropower, solar, and wind are not only technically feasible and financially viable solutions but also suitable energy sources for rural and remote areas in developing countries like Nepal [7]. The literature review was carried out to explore the factors/alternative pertaining to our resea rch. Mainly to find main criteria upon which the evaluation of renewable energy will be dependent we have identified four research paper s. The first paper is recent one published in 2020. In this research the study is based on Jumla and it exactly align s with the scope of our study on identifying the best energy sources. The research carried outlines three available and possible renewable energy sources in KEC Conference 2 KEC Conference 2021 “3rd International Conference On Engineering And Technology” Kantipur Engineering College, Dhapakhel , Lalitpur , Nepal Jumla, i.e. Micro Hydro, solar power and wind power. But it does not make use of decision -making to ol nor explores broadly in the identification of right energy sources. The paper is focused on exploring wind energy generation and it briefly states which all energy sources meets the demand of Jumla [2]. The technical as well as economic aspects are the main criteria upon which other sub-criteria are laid out. In this paper authors used Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to prioritize investment planning of renewable power plants in Turkey and five different kinds of power plants under the visual pollution criteria based on amou nt of CO2 emission released, environmental damage, capital costs, space requirement and provided employment were evaluated [8]. The second paper studied was from Libya. The authors used AHP, a decision tool to select an appropriate power generation technology. This paper presents the idea of determination of these parameters, which influence the selection of power generation technology in particul ar for developing countries. The paper identifies four main criteria that is economic, environmental, technical and social. A sub -criteria are also included to support decision making process. The performances of six technologies of a power generation are evaluated by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) using expert choice software and the best technology is selected. Particularly out of all the six technologies solar power generation is the found to be best technology. Further, as per the sensitivity analysis , it was found that the best alternative is not sensitive to a change in the weights estimated by the AHP [9]. In this research decision -making in energy planning is approached as a problem of multi criteria decision analysis in which different types of factors are seen to be involved. The selection aspects is based on the increasing complexity of social, technological, environmental, economic, and risk factors. This paper uses the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to prioritize a set of criteria, sub -criteria and alternatives as a support for decision -making in the process of energy planning with renewable energies for rural areas in the Caribbean region of Colombia. The research is based on the participation of experts, 5 criteria, 20 sub -criteria and 4 alternatives [10]. Any decision problem to be chosen as Multi -criteria should possess following nature: -There should be goal/decision to be achieved from the decision problem -The decision makers should have opinions and p
