Vietnam is one of Southeast Asian countries with a rapid GDP
growth rate, ranging from 6.5% to 7% annually, leading to an average increase
in energy demand of 11% per year. This demand createsmany new opportunities
in the energy industry, especially renewable energy, to ensure sustainable
development in the future for the country with applications of solar energy
growing at the present, and other opportunities to expand in the future. In
Vietnam, thanks to favorable weather, climate, terrain characteristics and
many preferential support policies, there are many great opportunities in the
field of solar energy exploitation and application. Location selection is an
important problem in all renewable energy projects. Therefore, the author
proposed a fuzzy Multi-criteria Decision-Making Model (MCDM)model for
solar power plant location selection in this study, and as a result, location 5 is
the optimal solution. The contribution of this study is to propose a MCDM
for solar power plant location selection in Vietnam under fuzzy environmental
conditions.
