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 %). In addition to 140 MW capacity diesel-fired combined cycle power station.
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.
It buys electricity from the Palestine Power Generation Company (PPGC), IEC, and other neighboring countries, which is then distributed to the six Palestinian district electricity distribution companies. Structurally, Palestine does not have sufficient distribution companies or systems.
The Palestine Power Generation Company continues to plan for the establishment of a combined-cycle power plant with a total capacity of up to 450MW each on a Build Own and Operate (BOO) basis. Implementation of the 250MW first phase will involve a pilot project at a total cost of $344 million in the North of the West Bank.
