A data-driven geographic information system and machine learning based multi-criteria framework for strategic wind power plant siting
of high-priority corridors within North Shewa for immediate wind farm deployment. Independent validation through five different sources that includes 250 MW of Debre Birhan under Ethiopian Ministry of Finance private public project pipeline to confirm North Shewa as the highest-potential development corridor. This framework advances wind energy planning by integrating subjective weighting, objective efficiency analysis, and predictive modelling into a unified strategic decision-support system applicable for wind energy planning in data-scarce region.
