This study addresses the electricity sector in the Palestinian territories under occupation since 1967 and seeks to define the determinants of the sector's system of public policymaking since the Palestinian Authority was established in 1993. It also explores the outcomes, results and impact of such policies on the Palestinian electricity sector by situating them in the context of Palestinian development under occupation. It further examines the consequences of liberalizing this sector, which began with Oslo and has accelerated since 2008. The study emphasises the importance of increasing reliance on renewable energy sources to produce electricity and also recommends restructuring this sector by centralising the production, distribution and management of energy through a national, public, and social corporation.
