Large-scale renewable energy plants such as solar photovoltaic (PV) farms are vital to the global transition a green economy. They reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mitigate climate change, and promote sustainable resilient energy. However, large-scale PV need adequate planning site selection for optimal performance. This study presents geographic information system (GIS)-based multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework utilizing analytic hierarchy process (AHP) identify sites utility-scale in Ikorodu, Lagos State, Nigeria. By integrating critical environmental, technical, economic, social factors, model evaluates land suitability projects across area. The finding indicates that 68.77% of is unsuitable development, with only 17.78% classified highly suitable 12.67% moderately suitable. Marginally most appropriate areas minimal, at 0.73% 0.04%, respectively. provides replicable approach stakeholders policymakers aiming implement solutions, aligning national targets. Future research could integrate dynamic factors community engagement, use changes, evolving environmental policies enhance models. offers valuable insights into contributes advancing Nigeria’s systems.
