- Abstract
Ideal energy policies based on the identification of main obstacles might indorse the growth of renewable energy. In light of the importance of promoting entrepreneurship in renewable energy resources, the current study examined the barriers to develop renewable energy entrepreneurship in Pakistan. As a result, the current study proposes a systematic approach for prioritizing hurdles to entrepreneurship based on their relevance. The research was split into two parts. To begin, a literature survey and interviews with experts were used to identify potential obstacles. Second, the Pythagorean fuzzy analytical hierarchical process (PF-AHP) approach was hired to finalize and categorize the challenges. Twelve barriers were finalized, and they were then divided into four categories. Finally, PF-AHP was used to determine barrier weights and ranks. The final results showed that the legal and regulatory framework obstacle category is the most essential among the main categories, while the overall ranking of obstacles revealed that the lack of policy is more vital than the other twelve sub-barriers in various groups.
