Abstract: Securing energy sources is an essential part of life for all human beings in the world. There are many natural energy sources worldwide, some are non-renewable energy and some are renewable energy. Renewable energy sources are clean energy derived from natural resources that are constantly renewed and will never run out. The problems that encouraged the conducting of this study were the energy-related environmental issues as well as the lack of awareness among the public and lack of publication of critical success factors (CSFs) of renewable energy projects. In order to address these issues, this study conducted a systematic literature review to identify the CSFs for renewable energy project’s implementation. There are several types of renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, biomass energy and tidal power. Renewable energy is the most outstanding source of energy and the most viable solution to the global increase of renewable energy demand for electricity, heating and cooling and transportation. This paper discusses a review about different CSFs for renewable energy project implementation by referring to the previous studies on related topics. Based on these sources of literature, it was found that social, technology, government, economic, organization and management and the environment were the CSFs that ensured the success of renewable energy projects. This review acted as a guideline for the renewable energy industry to manage its projects. This research also contributed to building knowledge by facilitating more research on CSF in implementing renewable energy projects in the future. The CSFs are not only useful for future research but also useful to improve government policy on the renewable energy sector.
