Evaluating the strategies for sustainable energy planning in Pakistan: An integrated SWOT-AHP and Fuzzy-TOPSIS approach
Abstract
Abstract This study proposes an integrated methodology based on Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Fuzzy Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution (F-TOPSIS) to evaluate energy strategies for sustainable energy planning. The SWOT analysis is employed to determine the factors and sub-factors essential for sustainable energy planning. Subsequently, AHP, a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method is used to determine the weights of each factor and sub-factor. Finally, F-TOPSIS method is used to rank the 13 energy strategies under the case study for Pakistan's to achieve sustainable energy planning. The results of the study reveal that providing low-cost and sustainable electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial sectors (WO5) is highly prioritized energy strategy. While the utilization of coal resources and transformations of same into electricity (WO2) is prioritized as least favored energy strategy. The sensitivity analysis of the results validates the robustness of the study. This study, as such, proposes a systematic approach to develop and evaluate energy strategies for the sustainable energy planning and policy endeavor of Pakistan.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
