3. Current Situation Of Energy Palestinians are living in abnormal conditions and they are not living in comfortable conditions just to mention one aspect they import most of their energy from neighboring countries (Israel, Jordan and Egypt) The result: They pay a lot of money and the supplying sources aren't dependable and secure due to political Sensitivities saying so our country is one of the richest in Sun radiation, over 3000 hours yearly, so lets get all the benefits of mother nature, develop, our economy and improve quality of living for our people.

4. The main Characteristics of the energy sector as follows:- Nearly all the electricity is purchased from Israel (88%). The electricity system especially in the west bank consist of numerous isolated distribution system and are not integrated into distribution network. Electrical energy account for 22% of the total energy. The growth of energy consumption is about 7% annually. Power supply and distribution is the responsibility of municipal councils and distribution companies. There are 6 distribution companies which are ( Gedco, Jedco, Hepco, Selco, Tdeco and Nedco) Current Situation Of Energy Cont.

5. The main Characteristics of the energy sector as follows:- All distribution companies purchase the energy from IEC on M.V network 22Kv or 33Kv. Small portion of electricity is purchased from Jordan supplying Jericho (20MW). Small portion of electricity is purchased from Egypt supplying Rafah (25 Mw). Palestine Electricity Regulatory Council (PERC) was formed in the year 2011. Last year (2014) Palestinian Electricity Transmission CO. Ltd (PETL) was launched (Government Owned) On March 2012 Palestine Solar initiative (PSI) and solar energy strategy were launched. Current Situation Of Energy Cont.

11. Tubas District Electricity Company As Success Story

12. TDECO ELECTRICITY CONCESSION

13. Company Profile TDECO was established in 2002 but it was officially registered on march 18,2006. The owners of it are municipalities and village council in Tubas governorate and some parts of Jenin governorate as well,the purposes of its establishment is to distribute electricity in these villages and towns, since the people of these villages and towns were either deprived of electricity or had some diesel generator run few hours a day!. Since then TDECO increased its power capacity 400% and served more town and villages.

14. Company Profile CONT. Its true that TDECO is the smallest and youngest company in Palestine but it is also true its leading all mentioning some aspects, owns and runs the only transformers maintenance center in the country SCADA system GIS system Solar projects.
