Using such weighting method helps managers and policymakers focus on the most important factors that need immediate attention. In this method, weight coefficients of 0 and 1 are assigned to each point and also in case of possible variables, the assigned values will be from 1 to 3. Using the statistics available in the regional electricity company of the province and also the results of SWOT analytical approach in evaluating the cost and amount of use of fossil energy sources, the possibility of utilizing renewable energy sources in the region is examined and finally practical suggestions and analysis results is presented. The results of this analysis can play an important role in policy-making, decision-making and prioritization of development renewable energy projects in the province.
