Summary. This study evaluated four renewable energy sources—solar, wind, biomass, and mini-hydro—for a rural area in Sarawak using life cycle assessment and analytical hierarchy process methods. Solar energy ranked highest when considering environmental, engineering, and economic criteria, followed by mini-hydro, biomass, and wind. The findings provide a systematic framework for selecting appropriate renewable energy technologies in rural developing regions.
