The project site is located on a partof land for the Jericho Agro-Industrial Park
(JAIP Stage-I) planned and scheduled to be
developed soon at suburb of Jericho Municipality
which is approximatery 8 km away from the Dead Sea.
After the completion of the Project in July 2012, the electricity
being generated by the grid-connected PV system installed by theProject is supplied to the existing distribution line operated and maintainedby the Jerusalem District Electricity Company (JDECO) that will indeed
supplement the demand of electricity supplies in Jericho.
The objectives of the Project are to promote clean energy utilization and to achieve
stable power supply including financial aspect in Palestine through the operation of thegrid-connected PV system as well as to contribute to reduction of greenhouse gases emissions.
This Project is also expected to contribute to the development of JAIP as a renewable energy
supply facility. Moreover, it aims that the Project will help the Palestinian that is groping forcooperation in measures for climate change with international organizations and an
application of Clean Development Mechanism.

Since it was founded, the Palestinian Energy Authority (PEA) waskeen to provide electric energy to all Palestinians. Therefore, PEA has
developed a policy for the organization and development of theelectricity sector in Palestine; this was through the approval of theGeneral Electricity Law in 2009, which stressed the importance ofencouraging the search for alternative energy resources. Accordingly,
PEA prepared the general strategy of renewable energy as animportant part of the system resources to meet the growing needs ofelectric energy in a cleaner and more secure approach.
The PEA has set a clear goal through the Renewable Energy General
Strategy for the year 2020; this goal is represented by generating theequivalent of 10% of the electricity produced locally from renewableenergy resources. This will finally lead to raise the renewable energy
share in the total energy consumption by up to 25%.
To achieve this goal, necessary legislations and regulations havebeen ratified to develop and promote the use of renewable energy,
and the Palestinian Solar Initiative was approved for the time period(2012-2015).
The construction and success of Jericho’ s solar plant is considered
the first important step towards the practical application to implement
the renewable energy strategy and to disseminate its use. The
success of this plant will lead to the generalization of this experimentin other governorates. All this will increase energy security, stabilizeits prices and will develop the technical, scientific and economic
capabilities of the Palestinian people.
Finally, I would like to thank the Japanese government for providing
this grant which enabled the Palestinian people to accomplish the firststep towards energy independence. Also I would like to thank all
those who contributed and participated to the success and completionof this national achievement.
