Abstract

Renewable energy resources show great promise in Palestine. Solar, wind, biogas and geothermal energy resources are the main areas where research and pilot projects are being concentrated (2000–2005). More than 95% of Palestinians use solar energy for domestic water heating so renewable energy is something that many people in the country are already very aware. Consequently, use of renewable energy resources presents a strategic goal for the Palestinian energy authority in order to achieve some degree of economic independence. It aims to minimize the dependence on traditional energy resources that are too expensive and politically controlled. Awny Naim and Mohammad R Al-Agha, Palestinian Renewable Energy Society describe the current situation in the region.
