 National Institution for R&D, to foster the
development of renewable energy, rational use
of energy and energy conservation in Palestine
as part of PEA.
 Support PEA in preparation and
implementation of a National Strategy for the
promotion of RE&EE applications with a target
of decreasing the energy importation, enhance
the national economy and the environment
protection.

9. Rural and Remote Electrifications by PV
Systems
 More than 90 Grid-off PV systems, 0.5 -12
kWp. In schools, clinics, security points.
 Street Lighting, 98 columns, 30 kWp
 2 systems of 15.5 kWp each in police
departments.
 Total installed capacity more than 160 kWp.

10. CSP and Wind Energy
 Pre-feasibility study has been conducted
for 10 MW CSP technology in Jericho,
funded by the WB
 2 MW CSP proposed and it will be
funded by the WB for research.
 Wind Atlas in preparation stage
 Five measurement stations are installed
 The potential is exist, but in a small
scale.

12. Identified and Selected RET for
electricity generation
 On ground PV
 Small PV on buildings
 CSP
 Biogas landfill
 Biogas animal
 Wind – large
 Wind - small

13. Renewable Energy Targets
 The renewable energy mix selected in
each scenario has to reach 10% of Non
IEC supplied Electrical Energy by 2020
(50% of the energy needs)
 This means a target of 240 GWh (RE)
for the West Bank and Gaza in 2020

students on RUE at home and
school:( 21 Schools in Ramallah and
28 schools in Nablus).
 Awareness Campaign for the
Households on RUE, lighting , electric
appliances,…, (Two workshops)
 The program is ongoing : It will cover
all cities in WB

20. Project Aim and Objectives
Aim
Reduce the consumption of imported energy in the Occupied
Palestinian Territories through the promotion of energy efficiency
and renewable energy and reducing the emission of greenhouse
gases attributed to energy use in the Palestinian Territories
Specific Objectives
1. Improve energy efficiency in industrial processes and in
commercial, residential, public and collective buildings.
2. Increase the production of renewable energy :institutional support,
training and pilot projects.
3. Increase institutional support for energy efficiency and renewable
energy development

21. Project Activities
1. Improvement of
energy efficiency in Sustainable Culture of Conservative and
key sectors; industry, Innovative Energy Management
and commercial,
residential, public and •Capacity building of local expertise
collective buildings
•Institutional strengthening
•Capitalisation of previous or ongoing related
2. Promotion of projects in PA and abroad
renewable energy
•Capitalisation of lessons learnt during
project implementation
3. Institutional support •Communication, education and information
