Global GridPalestine's energy mix and electricity
🇵🇸 In 2024, Palestine generated 0.99 TWh of electricity. The largest source was oil and other fossil fuels at 61%, followed by solar (39%). In total, 39% came from low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) and 61% from fossil fuels.
On average, each kilowatt hour produced about 414 grams of carbon dioxide (CO₂), close to the world average of 458 grams in 2025.
Electricity demand was 7.99 TWh. Palestine imported 7.00 TWh more electricity than it exported, equal to 88% of its demand.
Since 2000, electricity generation has grown by 3,200%, from 0.03 TWh. The low-carbon share went from 0% to 39%. The biggest rise was in solar, from 0% to 39% of generation. The biggest fall was in oil and other fossil fuels, from 100% to 61%. Carbon intensity fell from 667 to 414 grams per kWh.

Energy security score
Vulnerable. It is not ranked because its power system is very small. The score shows how well a country could keep electricity affordable and on if fuel supplies were disrupted. It is based on 4 of the 5 measures.
| Measure | Score |
|---|---|
| Produces its own energy No reliable figure exists for Palestine, so this measure is left out and the other four count for more. | n/a |
| Variety of power sources How evenly generation is spread across nine sources. The largest, oil and other fossil fuels, made 61%. | 54 |
| Little reliance on imported power Net imports were 88% of demand; each 1% takes off 2 points. | 0 |
| Low-carbon power Nuclear and renewables made 39% of generation. | 39 |
| Low gas and oil use Gas and oil made 61% of generation; the score is 100 minus that share. | 39 |
The five measures are weighted 30%, 20%, 20%, 15% and 15%. How the score works.
Oil and gas pipelines
Global Energy Monitor lists 145 km of oil and gas pipelines operating in Palestine, 0 km being built and 0 km proposed (lengths measured along the mapped routes; a pipeline crossing borders counts in full for each country).
