A project on utilization of solar energy in lighting Al-Jeep village in the West Bank. It's a co finance project with Henrich boell Foundation. Swiss Aid and GEF/SGP. The project aims at reducing Co2 emission generated from 3 mobile electricity generators by 4,600 Kg/year whilst the project community (140 person) will save annually US$ 5,000 (the cost of providing fuel for operating three electricity generators). Throughout this project a solar power unit will be established with a capacity of 500 watt/hr.The generated electricity will be utilized in lighting the village main road, the village Mosque and public community room. Also the project will raise community awareness on climate change mitigation and give a special focus on "energy efficiency and saving techniques" and provide training on system maintenance for members of the community committee. This project is potencial of replication as there is more than 78 community lacks power supply in the West Bank.

The initial goal of the project was to supply a rural area, that is not currently connected to the power grid in the OPT , with electricity by using solar energy to assist in environmental protection and improving the livelihood of local people. Eight solar street lights were to be installed covering most of the roads inside the village, and a 500W Solar system was to be installed to provide the mosque and a public site with electricity. The project was halted because of the inability to get the necessary permission from the Israeli government due to its location in area C according to Oslo agreement.

Instead of implementing the solar project in the village of Jubbet Adh Deib three other locations have been selected. These are the Al-Bireh Municipality, the Tequa? Clinic, and the new building of the Applied Research Institute - Jerusalem. In these locations the solar street lights will provide lighting and also serve as demonstration pieces of solar technology and its benefits
