Current Situation Of Energy Pales&nians are living in abnormal condi&ons and they are not living in comfortable condi&ons just to men&on one aspect they import most of their energy from neighboring countries (Israel, Jordan and Egypt)
The result: They pay a lot of money and the supplying sources aren't dependable and secure due to poli&cal Sensi&vi&es saying so our country is one of the richest in Sun radia&on, over 3000 hours yearly, so lets get all the benefits of mother nature, develop, our economy and improve quality of living for our people.
The main Characteris@cs of the energy sector as follows:-‐ • Nearly all the electricity is purchased from Israel (88%). • The electricity system especially in the west bank consist of numerous isolated distribu@on system and are not integrated into distribu@on network.
• Electrical energy account for 22% of the total energy. • The growth of energy consump@on is about 7% annually.
• Power supply and distribu@on is the responsibility of municipal councils and distribu@on companies.
• There are 6 distribu@on companies which are ( Gedco, Jedco, Hepco, Selco, Tdeco and Nedco)
Current Situation Of Energy Cont.
The main Characteris@cs of the energy sector as follows:-‐ • All distribu@on companies purchase the energy from IEC
on M.V network 22Kv or 33Kv. • Small por@on of electricity is purchased from Jordan
supplying Jericho (20MW). • Small por@on of electricity is purchased from Egypt
supplying Rafah (25 Mw). • Pales@ne Electricity Regulatory Council (PERC) was formed
in the year 2011. • Last year (2014) Pales@nian Electricity Transmission CO.
Ltd (PETL) was launched (Government Owned) • On March 2012 Pales@ne Solar ini@a@ve (PSI) and solar
energy strategy were launched.
Current Situation Of Energy Cont.
• Is supplied by IEC grid through 251 connec@on points (60 in south, 156 north, 35 in middle).
• Total electricity purchased from IEC 3500 GWH. • Maximum load in 2013 was 850 MW • Number of consumers 550000. • 70% of the load for residen@al and commercial customers, 30% industrial and others
• About 97.5% is purchased from IEC 2.5% from Jordan. • Losses 24%.
West Bank: Current Situation Of Energy Cont.
• Is supplied by IEC grid through 10 points. • Total electricity consump@on from IEC 1500 MWH. • Maximum load in 2013 350 MW. • Number of consumer 200,000 • 70% of the load for residen@al and commercial customers 30% for industrial and others.
• 35% of power is purchased from IEC, 22% from power plant in Gaza, 8% from Egypt.
• 35% is shortage of power. • Losses 35%.

Tubas District Electricity Company
As Success Story
TDECO ELECTRICITY CONCESSION
Company Profile • TDECO was established in 2002 but it was officially
registered on march 18,2006. • The owners of it are municipali&es and village council
in Tubas governorate and some parts of Jenin governorate as well ,the purposes of its establishment is to distribute electricity in these villages and towns, since the people of these villages and towns were either deprived of electricity or had some diesel generator run few hours a day!.
• Since then TDECO increased its power capacity 400% and served more town and villages.
Company Profile CONT. Its true that TDECO is the smallest and youngest
company in Pales@ne but it is also true its leading all
men@oning some aspects,
• owns and runs the only transformers maintenance
center in the country
• SCADA system
• GIS system
• Solar projects.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Installation of mixture of RE (PV, wind and bio mass) is possible and feasible and it is a must in Palestine. 1
PSI must be extended since it is the core of the renewable and affect all people. 2
Regulations for renewables should be approved by PEA without any delay. 3
Euro – Mediterranean innovation workshop
RECOMMENDATIONS
All roof tops of public buildings shall have been first application of PV. 4
Training of technicians for multi mega projects. 5
Incentives by the government and distribution companies for every resident who install PV in roof top. 6
Euro – Mediterranean innovation workshop
RECOMMENDATIONS
New buildings shall not be licensed unless parts of energy consumption is produced by renewables. 5
Extending the green loans by local banks. 6
Intensification Renewable energy advertisements. 7
Euro – Mediterranean innovation workshop
RECOMMENDATIONS
Extensive public awareness campaign through all types of means media. 8
Annual national price by PEA for the best projects of the renewables. 9
Tax free for the equipment of renewables and the production of energy. 10
Euro – Mediterranean innovation workshop
RECOMMENDATIONS
Involvement of educational institutions such as research of renewable and bridge such results with concerned parties.
12
