Summary. This study develops a framework to select optimal hybrid renewable energy systems for rural healthcare centres by combining technical, economic, and environmental criteria. Using simulation software and multi-criteria analysis, researchers evaluated six communities in Nigeria to identify the most cost-effective renewable energy configurations. The analysis revealed that total net present cost was the most critical factor in system selection, enabling healthcare facilities to achieve reliable clean energy access while minimizing operational expenses.
