The EU has completed the biggest photovoltaic solar field in Gaza, the European Commission announced on Thursday.
The field will provide 0.5 Megawatts of electricity per day to fuel the Southern Gaza Desalination Plant.
The EU-funded Southern Gaza Desalination Plant currently provides drinking water to 75,000 inhabitants in the Khan Younis and Rafah governorates. With the new energy field and new investments foreseen it will eventually reach 250,000 people in Southern Gaza by 2020.
Johannes Hahn, EU Commissioner for European Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations, commented, “Limited energy supplies in Gaza are one of the main challenges when improving access to safe and drinkable water to the local population. The photovoltaic solar field is essential to respond to the urgent water needs in Gaza and create dignified living conditions for its people, thus mitigating tensions in a highly conflict-sensitive area.”
The EU is investing in long-term water infrastructure across Palestine with an emphasis on the Gaza, according to a statement, which noted that 97% of the water in Gaza is unfit for human consumption. …

The E. U. certainly is enchanted with people who shout death to Israel, death to the Jews.
I guess they’re so proud of what took place in Europe in the 1940s.
I don’t want to see the Arabs without water, but the E.U. never exacts any promises for their help. They just enable the same old terrorist ways.
Let’s see how long the sand goblins can run it before they ruin it.
Sounds like 500kW nameplate, or about 2000 to 2500 panels. With the typical 25% capacity factor in that area of 25% that will produce about 3,000 kWh per day or about $120 of power per day at typical wholesale power costs.
Me neither.
I want to see them with plenty of water, in concentration camps in their native countries (Jordan, Egypt, etc)
The only way this would make sense if they paired the project up with free vasectomies.
Good investment in Gaza.
Should European countries invest a bit in NATO?
Just a bit, maybe.
And perhaps cut off that Nord Stream II pipeline.
They will trash it. Just like they trashed the green houses left behind in 2005. Bought and paid for by delusional Jews with good intentions.
Well, if they do, they’ll try to blame Israel.
For the savages in Gaza? Good luck with that. They’ll destroy it. It’s what they do.

And don’t forget, if the panels are not cleaned regularly of the blowing sands that number will drop significantly. So maybe $60 or less of power per day when all is said and done.......
A solar field is a scavenger’s dream! They can make out real well stripping it down and selling the scrap metal.
They’ll ruin it through neglect, if not intentionally during some internecine conflict.
I can see it now, "Zionist trained birds destroy new solar plant".
I hope the Israeli’s reduce the energy supplied to Gaza by an equal amount. After all, the Gazans are behind in paying for the electricity supplied by Israel. It’s only fair, why give free electricity to muslims who constantly bite the hand feeding them?
probably the locals will insist the solar panels are hinged - so that the panels can be swung out of the way when they fire rockets from the new bunkers they will be excavating underneath.
Good train the savages
They need it BAD
it’s up
To
Us good people to train the evil ones
To
Give up
Their ways of evil
How do they get the plant to produce potable water at night?

They don’t have dignified living conditions because they have corrupt leadership.
