The study aims for ranking RE technologies in context to India under associated uncertainties considering various sustainability indicators. The qualitative data related to indicator values are associated with uncertainties and fuzzy-TOPSIS is used to address these uncertainties. Further, it is reviewed that indicator values also vary widely for each RE technology, and to address these possibilities of uncertainties associated with input data, TOPSIS is run using MCS to obtain probabilistic ranking. To understand the impact of these uncertainties both the fuzzy-TOPSIS and probabilistic ranking are compared with that obtained from the TOPSIS method. The ranking obtained by TOPSIS is found to be uncertain. Thus, the study concludes that for better decision-making and energy planning at the national level it is important to address the associated uncertainties while assessing the sustainability of RE technologies.
