An overview of renewable energy potential in Palestine
(DOI: 10.1016/J.RSER.2016.07.052) The energy sector situation in Palestine is highly different compared to other countries in the Middle East due to many reasons: non-availability of natural resources, unstable political conditions, financial crisis and high density population. Furthermore, Palestine depends on other countries for 100% of its fossil fuel imports and for 87% of its

Achievements and barriers of renewable energy in Palestine
Palestine is one of the MENA countries which has taken concrete steps to revive investment in RE, as a clean and independent source of electricity production, to achieve its energy security, it has a wealth of solar energy, around 3000 sunny hours all year round and a high average solar radiation on horizontal surface 5.4 kW h/m 2 /day [3,4]. While it ranked first
An overview of renewable energy potential in Palestine
This study highlights that the main renewable energy sources in Palestine are solar energy, wind energy and biomass, thereby the energy dependence on neighbouring countries may significantly decrease, when Palestine uses the available renewable energy sources. The renewable energies in Palestine open new perspectives for energy sector in
Locally Developed Sustainable Energy Transitions Strengthen
The sustainable energy transition is among the top priorities for countries worldwide to mitigate the impact of climate change. In the State of Palestine, the sustainability transition is a priority because it increases access to energy to empower Palestinian communities, especially marginalized localities who suffer from energy insecurity because of adverse geopolitical reasons.
