Abstract
It is one of the most important issues of our time that meeting the energy needs for developing countries. Especially in recent years, the developed and developing countries emphasize the importance of resorting to current and renewable energy sources in order to be able both to feed them and to show sensitivity to the environment. It is an important tool in reducing external dependency that increased use of those resources in countries which is a country in an advantageous position in terms of renewable energy sources. From past to present with increased production and consumption and the point where the environmental problems reach, renewable energy sources is shown as a solution to this problem. Sustainable development makes an important contribution not only in quantity but also in quality to the economy. It is provided that enhancing human capital by performing technological development and sustainability of the environment by raising awareness of the environmental community and reducing of energy imports by applying renewable energy in energy production. It can be reduced its dependence on foreign energy with sustainable energy policies and R&D activities for the use of renewable energy sources where countries have the potential to be an ample supply. In light of this, it has been demonstrated that introduction of renewable energy sources should not be delayed in achieving sustainable development in economic, social and environmental dimensions. In this study, the strengths and weaknesses are evaluated in terms of sustainable development of renewable energy sources.
