All initiatives related to the reduction of energy consumption, the use of renewable energy sources and the construction of smart cities are the main priorities of modern society. Profitability, ecological footprint, and reliability are factors that determine the investment choice. Globally, there is growing commitment to climate change mitigation, with the research community and businesses innovating in smart cities, green energy, and energy efficiency. The report examines the importance of renewable energy in making cities bright and the challenges and prospects for using renewable energy. Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro and geothermal, have significant potential to generate clean, abundant energy without the harmful emissions associated with fossil fuels. It is crucial to understand the importance of renewable energy sources and the critical role that smart meters play in realizing their full potential.
