Therefore, governments are seeking to encourage investors in renewable energy. This research focuses on identifying and prioritizing the factors influencing investment in renewable energy in the industry of Yazd Province. The present study is of an exploratory mixed-methods nature. In the first phase, a qualitative method was used with the technique of qualitative content analysis, and in the second phase, a quantitative method and the Best-Worst Method (BWM) for decision-making were employed. The data collection tools were a combination of interviews and questionnaires. The statistical sample was selected by a purposeful judgmental method and by the snowball sampling method. The expert community for this research in the qualitative section and the Delphi technique consists of 14 managers from the Strategic Research Department of the Ministry of Energy, who were responsible for conducting feasibility studies for investments in renewable energy in the industrial sector, as well as experts and managers from the Fuel Consumption Optimization Company in Yazd Province. In the quantitative section, the Best-Worst Method was utilized based on the opinions of three experts. After solving 22 mathematical models, the results of the research indicated that the main factors influencing investment in renewable energy in the industry of Yazd Province can be categorized into six priority groups: reliability, social acceptance, human resources, technical aspects, environmental considerations, and economic factors. Based on the evaluation conducted, 15 key components and 41 indicators were introduced within these six dimensions. JEL Classification: Q2, G11, C58, R11.
