“…The strategies, methods, and processes for harnessing solar energy and turning it into electrical energy are becoming more and more popular on a global scale. Over the past 15 years, the development of the electricity generation from solar energy led to a reduction in electricity cost by 4% per year [13][14][15][16][17][18]. High levels of solar radiation that can be converted into energy are present throughout the Middle East, especially in the Arab world.…”

“…In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the interest in solar energy exists for forty years [25][26][27]. It should be mentioned that several studies in the Kingdom have shown that, taking into consideration the economic value of the environmental and the health risks of oil use, the cost of producing power from solar energy is less than that of producing electricity from oil [13][14][15][16][17]. All the Gulf Cooperation Council nations have begun investing in renewable energy sources, particularly solar energy, at a regional level [18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

One of the major sources of renewable energy, particularly electricity generation and water desalination, is solar energy. The National Initiative to produce Water and Electricity started when the electricity consumption in Saudi Arabia begun to increase by about 5% per year. The current investigation aims to use a multicriteria GIS technique to identify the best spatial location for solar energy collection in the Mecca Administrative District. The best locations for solar power plant construction were determined with the use of a set of factors and criteria, including planning and environmental criteria, and terrain calibrator. These criteria were defined through a thorough literature review. This information was then used to create a digital geographic database, which was incorporated into an integrated GIS to produce a spatial fit model. According to the suitability data, most of Mecca region is ideal for solar energy projects, with an applicability percentage ranging between 30% and 80%. These findings are encouraging and promising for Mecca's renewable energy industry and they should be considered. It was discovered by examining these spatial locations and the level of suitability to the specifications that the lands with a sufficient share of more than 80% form an area of around 4000km2 and makeup 3% of all suitable lands. The governorates of the Mecca Administrative Area are home to most of these exceptionally suited locations. The Taif governorate takes first place with 35% of the total area and the two governorates of Turbah are placed second and third with 24% and 14%. In the Mecca Administrative Area, the appropriate lands for solar energy projects are distributed spatially according to a digital map. The study proposes incorporating the findings into the Saudi national plan for renewable energy sources.

Hydroelectric power plants, which are a renewable energy source, have a signi cant role to play in the ght against climate change and global warming. For this reason, it is of great importance for a country to use its domestic resources in the most e cient and effective way. Using a GIS-based model method, locations having theoretical hydroelectric energy potential were identi ed in the Buyuk Menderes basin, one of Turkey's largest basins. According to the installed power potential on the examined basin, 33 sites below 10 MW, 57 sites between 10 and 50 MW, 4 sites between 50 and 100 MW, and 1 site over 100 MW were found as a consequence of the study. At the same time, the reliability of the results was debated after they were compared to the installed power of two important hydroelectric power facilities in the basin. The analysis found that the installed power of Adıgüzel and Kemer HEPPs in the relevant site, which had 62 MW and 48 MW installed power, respectively, was 80 MW and 69 MW. The calculations assume that the turbine is 100% e cient. However, when considering a turbine e ciency of 70%-80%, the ndings are close to the true values. While the theoretical hydroelectric energy potential in the whole basin is 886.55 MW at 70% turbine e ciency, the installed power in the basin is currently 302.02 MW. According to these results, only 34.07% of the total hydro potential in the basin is used today.
