Abstract

This study examines the electricity crisis in the Gaza Strip and its impact on public well-being. Adopting a sequential exploratory mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 350 households and key institutions. The research assesses the current state of renewable power technologies applicable to the region and develops a performance matrix to identify the most suitable technology for providing clean and affordable electricity. The findings highlight solar energy as the most viable solution for addressing the electricity shortage in the Gaza Strip. Moreover, the study underscores the adverse effects of electricity shortages on vital services, including health, water, and sanitation, as well as the fragile economy. The research recommends strategic investments in solar energy as a reliable and cost-effective solution that is readily accessible to meet the energy needs of the Gaza Strip and Palestine at large. This study provides a valuable resource for national and international NGOs, offering insights into the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats within the Gaza Strip's electricity sector.
