  • Building an integrated electrical system linking the governorates of Gaza to the West Bank governorates. 
  • Building an information system for peaceful applications of atomic energy in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) with a view to gathering and documenting information.
  • Establishing a data base on the current and future status of the possibility of benefiting from renewable sources of energy in Palestine, enabling us to find suitable solutions to energy problems, and to use them in the studies and research related to the use of solar energy, wind energy and biogas in Palestine. 

• Partial objectives: 

  • Completion of the electric transport project in the Gaza governorates to absorb the energy produced from the Gaza power plant. 
  • Supply of natural gas to the Gaza power plant to reduce the cost of the electric power unit (kWh) produced from the station. 
  • Regional connectivity with Israel via KV 161 and Egypt via KV 220 as a protection system for the Gaza power plant and support for the future electrical system in Palestine.
  • Development of the laboratory of radiological measurements and the issuance of a Palestinian radiometric standard for a number of materials, especially foodstuffs, in addition to radiological control of the standards. 
  • Integrate the responsibility of the natural resources file currently distributed to many national institutions to the Energy and Natural Resources Authority so that we can manage them properly and achieve the desired results.
