Energy planning contains a continuous process to reassess alternative energy strategies. The authorities responsible for energy planning and management have to adjust their strategies to new and improved alternative resources according to sustainability criteria. The most efficient forms of renewable energy such as geothermal, solar, wind, hydroelectricity and biomass. In this paper, Analytical Hierarchy Process (APH) is employed to see the best renewable energy resources by taking Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental dimensions into account. We concluded that the most efficient use of renewable energy alternatives is based on Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental different dimensions, from the most effective to the least effective such as geothermal, solar, biomass, wind and hydropower.
