Turkey is far from meeting its increasing energy needs with its current fossil-sourced reserves, owing to
its growing population and technological advancements. As a result, it is heavily reliant on foreign
energy sources. Renewable energy sources are becoming more important as environmental awareness
and energy supply security grow. The goal of this research is to find the best renewable energy source
alternative for Turkey. Based on the information obtained from the evaluation forms filled with the
opinions of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources experts using the Multi-Criteria Decision
Making Techniques(MCDM) methods, the criterion weighting with the AHP method and the ranking of
the source alternatives with the COPRAS, MULTIMOORA method were made, and the most suitable
alternative was determined. The study's scope included four main criteria, seventeen sub-criteria, and
five alternative energy sources (wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and hydraulic). The analysis
determined that hydroelectric, solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass are the best renewable energy
sources for both methods.
