There is no developed domestic energy resource; it is heavily depending on important of energy sources from other countries. The Israel Electric Company (IEC) has dominated imported of electricity by 95.72% of the total of electrical energy imported in 2015. In general, lightly subsidized of energy sources and it can be comparison with neighborhood countries. In this paper taking research on three renewable energy sources are solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy in many considerations are geography characteristics, projects are implemented, the strategy for 2020 are prepared by the Palestinian Energy Authority (PEA), drawbacks of this energy sources. Finally, the recommendations can be taken in consideration to development the renewable energy sector in Palestine to ensure security energy sources and may significant decrease importing energy from neighborhood countries and sustainable development and growth of socio-economics.
