By reducing dependence on imports and transforming natural solar resources into productive infrastructure, Taqa offers a blueprint for how Palestine can chart its own path toward a
And upgrade of the electricity grid to enable distribution of renewable energy, by 2030 . The electrical energy system in Palestine state is different from any other country, because Palestine imports its energy from three different sources; from Israel (85 %), Jordan (2 %) and Egypt (3 %).
Palestine's approach is to priorities high-emitting sectors such as, power generation (62 %), transport (15 %), and waste (23 %). The National Adaptation Plan is as: increase the share of renewable energy in electrical energy mix by 20–33 % by 2040, primarily from solar PV. Improve energy efficiency by 20 % across all sectors by 2030.
When Hasan first looked into the possibility of using wind energy to generate electricity in Palestine in 1991, he came to the conclusion that areas with an elevation of 850 meters or more, including Ramallah and Jerusalem, have excellent energy potential . In some areas of the WB, wind energy may be produced at 0.07 $/kWh .
Inauguration of the solar power plant in a school in Beit Hanina, Jerusalem. The energy problem in Palestine is one of many issues that affect the social and economic conditions of the Palestinian people. The fact that most of the energy is imported at relatively high prices places more financial burdens on poor and marginalized people.
