An overview of renewable energy strategies and policies in Palestine: Strengths and challenges

In this paper, renewable energy (RE) policies are evaluated to draw up recommendations for the sector stakeholders. The good potential of RE exists in Palestine, especially solar and biomass resources. Structural frameworks targets established penetration Palestine. Some strategies enhancement systems already place; however, sustainable still needed. To accomplish task, a comprehensive integrated approach, involving all consumed forms (e.g., electricity, heating cooling, transport sectors) is anticipated. Energy security Palestine over upcoming 20 years investigated using Monte-Carlo simulation model that applies different adoption scenarios. order meet Palestinian population's electrical needs near future, sources should be growing at an annual rate about 5–10%. Few incentives exist photovoltaic systems, yet sufficient funds must allocated other RE. Licensing permitting procedures simplified made more attractive investors sector.
