On ( August, 2019) , ( Dr.Husain Alsamamra) published a new study in (Journal of energy and natural resources) titled (An overview of wind energy potentials in Palestine). The articleaimed to (This study represents an overview on the possibility of using wind energy to fulfill the increasing demand on energy and the lack of supplied energy in the Palestinian territories, by analyzing and discussing former studies in this field). The results of this study demonstrated that (Wind power clearly have a promising future, although most of Palestine is located in areas with moderate wind speeds. The lowest wind energy in Jericho since wind speed there less than 2.5 m/s in most times. And the highest wind energy in Hebron particularly in (Al-Ahli Hospital) since the average month wind speed is about 6.2 m/s, which can be used to cover the increase in demand for electricity annually for about 6%. It can be more efficient by using the hybrid PV/Wind system, at the same time it minimizes the cost of generated energy from using each system independently. On one hand, there are lots of barriers facing developing Wind Power in Palestine. On the other, the majority of these challenges can be resolved by manufacturing wind turbines locally.).
