This document summarizes Palestine's draft National Energy Efficiency Action Plan. It includes targets and measures to improve energy efficiency in various sectors from 2013 to 2020. The targets include reducing electricity consumption intensity and achieving a 5% reduction in total electricity consumption. Key measures focus on energy audits in industries, replacing incandescent bulbs with CFLs in buildings, and rehabilitating transmission and distribution networks to reduce losses. The document provides details on individual initiatives, stakeholders, costs, funding sources, and monitoring for each measure.

Phasing out the use of some primary energy sources such as; olive cake, oil, and lubricants as they constitute
potential harm to the environment, in addition improvement of socio-economic conditions.

54% is consumed by residential buildings and the rest 20% is consumed by public and commercial buildings
including: shopping malls, hotels, schools and nursing homes, hospitals, welfare institutions, higher academic
institutions, commercial branches, government ministries and authorities, local authorities and street lightings.
5
Losses (technical and non-technical which is mainly non-collection of dues and stolen electricity) considered as
a sector as it “consumes” on average around 20% of the total power.

9. Initiative (1) Industries Sector Energy Efficiency Management Initiative and pilot projects (ongoing)
Objective Reducing the consumption of energy through the promotion of the energy audit in key sectors;
in particular the industries
Description of the measure An ongoing project funded by the French AFD and the French Global Environment Facility and
implemented by the PEC team in cooperation with French professional team and a steering
committee representing relevant stakeholders’ bodies and experts. The project components
entail building the capacity of PEC team through training them on conducting energy audit.
Pilot energy auditing is implemented for different industrial premises, in addition to
implementing the tool on hotels and hospitals. One of the main components of the project
enables raising the awareness of managers and engineers in industries and other public and
commercial buildings. This is achieved through presenting energy audit cases implemented in
workshops and meetings focusing on the methodology, process, pre and post technical and
operational measures, and the benefit reached by applying EE recommendations on both energy
consumption and the economical feasibility. It is intended to reach out as many industries as
possible to spread the knowledge and strengthen the capacities.
Stakeholders involved PEA, PEC, PFI, JDECO, REERU, Ramallah and Al-Biereh Chamber of Commerce (the project
steering committee)
Target group Industries, hotels, hospitals, etc.

10. Initiative (2) Buildings Sector
Design and implement a national campaign for replacing IBL with CFL in residential,
public, and commercial buildings
Objective Promoting and encouraging the use of energy savings compact florescent lights (CFL)
instead of the widely used incandescent fluorescent bulb lights (IBL) which consumes more
energy.
Description of the measure Majority of the households, commercial and public buildings have light bulb replacement
potentials (CFL instead of the IBL). It could be assumed that in households, an average of 5
bulbs per house is used for an average operation of 5 hours a day. Each bulb has an average
of 67.5 Watt (60 and 75 watt) that when replaced by CFL with average 16.5 watt (13 and 20
watt), would mean saving 51 watt on average for each bulb. The result is the decrease in
buildings’ purchase of electricity. This initiative seeks to use around 160,000 CFL replacing
the IBL. The implementation of the replacement plan will be integrated with financial
incentives scheme whereby taxes on CFL will be deduced. In addition incentives on
electricity bills could be sought from EDU, and awareness campaigns forming part of the
national awareness initiative (4). Profile of each governorate related to electricity
consumption and socio-economic conditions will be considered during the implementation
of the incentives scheme.
Stakeholders involved PEA, MLG, EDU, Municipalities and local governorates
Target group Households, public and commercial
Program cost MUS$ 0.5
Total resources cost MUS$ 0.7
Cost / kWh saved 0.03 US$/kWh
Reduction of subsidies NA
Source of funding Governmental, EDU, private sector
Financial instruments Tax deduction of CFL and incentives on electricity bills sought from EDU

11. Initiative (1) Losses Sector Rehabilitating and restructuring transmission and distribution networks
Objective The rehabilitation of the power transmission and distribution network is
essentially needed in order to lower the 20% network power losses. At this stage a
1% power saving is sought targeting the technical losses only.
Description of the measure Electricity distribution networks rehabilitation and restructuring is considered a
pillar national EE projects as will reduces the high percentage of losses, improves
service quality, cuts the cost, preserves the environment, ensures the safety of
workers and third parties, and meets the growing demand on electricity.
Palestinian urban areas, industrial and commercial areas will be targeted in the
first NEEAP period.
Stakeholders involved PEA, PETEL, EDU, Municipalities
Target group Districts, Municipalities and village councils
Program cost MUS$ 1.0
Total resources cost MUS$ 1.5
Cost / kWh saved 0.136 US$/kWh
