Integrating renewable energy (RE) into electricity generation enhances sustainability, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, improves security, lowers costs, and supports sustainable development, particularly in remote underserved regions. This study evaluates the feasibility performance of a hybrid system (HRES) designed to meet demands Hobyo Seaport, Somalia. The proposed HRES incorporates photovoltaic (PV), wind turbines (WT), diesel generator (DG), pumped hydro storage (PHES), battery (BESS). Four configurations-PV/WT/PHES, PV/WT/DG/PHES, PV/WT/DG/BESS, WT/DG/PHES-were analyzed using HOMER Pro MATLAB software optimize sizing assess techno-economic environmental performance. Results indicate that PV/WT/PHES configuration is most efficient, achieving 100% fraction, net present cost $619,720, lowest levelized at $0.03845/kWh, simple payback period 0.31 years. Additionally, offers significant benefits, mitigating 1,029 tons CO annually, valued $20,593 carbon credits. Over 20-year period, it cumulative cash flow by 97.1% compared diesel-based system. These findings highlight as cost-effective environmentally advantageous solution, establishing its sustainability practicality for enhancing infrastructure Somalia's Seaports similar coastal
