Paving the Way for a Renewable Energy Future in Palestine

The Palestinian Energy and Natural Resources Authority (PENRA) aims to improve energy security by diversifying its sources of electricity and reducing the country''s dependence on imported power supply; increasing the use of renewable sources of energy that are available to increase the share of clean power in the overall energy mix of the

Renewable Energy in the Palestinian Territory: Opportunities

In 2009, the power consumption in the Palestinian Territory was 4.413 GW / hour. These power needs are imported from three sources: Israel (86%), Egypt and Jordan (4.5%) and Palestine Electric Company- Gaza (around 10%). The bill of imported electricity ranges from 400 to 500 million dollars annually.

However, Palestine remains far from energy self-sufficient, with a dependency rate of 87.4% in 2021 (Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, 2023). Oil products dominate Palestinian energy resources, constituting 58% of the total supply in 2020, while renewable energy contributes only 13% ( Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, 2020 ).

But the electricity mix – the balance of sources of electricity in the supply – is becoming increasingly important as countries try to shift away from fossil fuels towards low-carbon

An overview of renewable energy strategies and policies in Palestine

The public and private sectors should collaborate to utilize RE sources in order to supply self-reliant and affordable power sources and diversify the energy mix in Palestine. The importance of the development in Area C, which represents 60% of the land, comes from the fact that the discontinuity problem of the Palestinian cities and towns

OverviewPetroleumElectricity generationElectricity importsElectricity transmissionElectricity distributionHistoryDebt to IEC

Palestine produces no oil or natural gas and is predominantly dependent on the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) for electricity. According to UNCTAD, the Palestinian Territory "lies above sizeable reservoirs of oil and natural gas wealth" but "occupation continues to prevent Palestinians from developing their energy fields so as to exploit and benefit from such assets." In 2012, electricity

Energy in the State of Palestine

Structurally, Palestine does not have sufficient distribution companies or systems. This problem leads to constraints on electricity efficiency. [ 2 ] The West Bank and the Gaza Strip receive and consume energy in different ways.

Palestine to Use Biomass for Self Sufficiency

Palestine is embarking on an ambitious project to produce all of their own energy for internal consumption. If successful, it would break its electricity dependence on the Israeli

Sustainable Transformation of Palestine''s Energy System

A shift towards a sustainable energy system could support Palestine to secure a reliable and affordable electricity supply, achieve cost savings, and create long-term benefits for economic growth.

Palestine to Use Biomass for Self Sufficiency

Palestine is embarking on an ambitious project to produce all of their own energy for internal consumption. If successful, it would break its electricity dependence on the Israeli government that frequently leaves the West Bank and Gaza Strip without power. Seeking to reduce its huge dependence on #Israel.

Renewable energy potential in the State of Palestine: Proposals

The results indicate that Palestine has a significant potential for PV power generation within 1,700 kWh/kWp. Wind energy can see a considerable difference in capacity, with a mean power density in the high mountains of WB of 600 W/m 2, a mean power density for all of WB of 300 W/m 2, and a relatively low power density for GS of less than 100
