Palestine''s Energy Storage Power Plants: Bridging the Gap
The road ahead isn''t easy. But with 57.4GWh of estimated regional storage demand [1] and advancing technology, Palestine''s energy storage plants could transform from crisis managers
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.
The System Advisor Model software (SAM) was used to predict the power potentials for a year. The results indicate that Palestine has a significant potential for PV power generation within 1,700 kWh/kWp.
Even though solar water heaters are widely used in Palestine, solar thermal energy only accounts for 8 % of the country's total energy consumption . In WB, 63.1 % of houses had solar water heaters in 2019, while the GS figure was 43.8 % and produced more than 600 GWh .
