The transition to renewable energy is not merely a technical option; it is a fundamental element in making and shaping policies for achieving sustainable development in the energy sector. This achieves a degree of integration among economic, environmental, and social urban policies in the secondary Najaf region. The use of renewable energy for wind farms, contributes to providing energy for human activities and various processes, by harnessing kinetic energy from wind movement to generate electrical power through the operation of wind turbines, wind energy undergoes a transformation from mechanical energy to electrical energy, meeting the energy demands of urban centers and rural areas. Therefore, this study aims to introduce a renewable energy source from wind energy, as a solution to the current and anticipated electricity deficit in the study area. In addition to contributing to urban development, agriculture, environmental conservation and related fields. This research adopts for multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodology within the geographic information system (GIS) to identify the most suitable spatial location. As a result, the study has identified appropriate and efficient sites for wind farms, through establishing planning and design criteria and standards for wind farm development. The proposed design includes a well-planned wind farm covering 40.3 Km2, equipped with 99 turbines, capable of producing 198 Mw of electrical energy to alleviate shortages and meet future energy demands.
