Abstract: The paper presents approaches and results for multicriterial quantitative estimations concerning the evaluation of selected scenarios for development of the Bulgarian national energy system based on application of three Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Methods (MCDM): Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Preference Ranking Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) II and Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT). Analyses and conclusions are provided.
