The Palestinian Energy Authority issued a renewable energy strategy in 2012 that aims to gradually achieve 10 percent of electricity production from renewable sources by the end of 2020. According to the strategy, this goal can be achieved if certain prerequisites are attained.
The Palestinian territory has a high potential for solar power generation, as it receives around 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. As a result, the Palestinian Authority is looking to attract investments in the renewable energy sector. Inauguration of the solar power plant in a school in Beit Hanina, Jerusalem.
To solve the current energy issues in Palestine, the following recommendation are proposed to reduce the dependency on imported energy generated from non-renewable sources.
In Palestine, the average values of specific PV power production from a reference system, described in Table 2, vary between 1700 and 1765 kWh/kWp for the selected three areas. A maximum value of energy that can be produced in Gaza and in the very southern region of the West Bank is higher than 1800 kWh/kWp.
Electricity supply and demand According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the total electrical energy consumption in Palestine in 2019 was reported to be 5,929.5 GWh. This quantity is almost entirely imported from outside sources, mainly from the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC), as shown in Table 1.
Table 1: Sources of Electricity in Palestine Based on Yearly Consumption (PCBS 2019). The West Bank is mainly supplied by three 161/33 kV substations: one in the south close to Hebron; another one in the central West Bank, near the town of Salfeet, close to Nablus; and a third in the northern part of Jerusalem.
