A Solar Water&Power Source for Recovery of Gaza

The Trans-Mediterranean Renewable Energy Cooperation (TREC) propose to consider to build a Solar Water&Power Source (SW&PS) as core of a Gaza Recovery Program, and as a means of introducing the technology of concentrating solar power (CSP) for low cost and
secure power and water production from sunlight and seawater into the region.

The SW&PS would have an annual capacity of 9 Tera Watt hours (1 TWh = 1 billion kWh) electricity and 360 Million m³ desalinated water produced in cogeneration, for an expected population of 3 Million.

A site of 40 km² is needed for solar collectors. This brings Egypt into a key role as it could host the SW&PS in the nearby Sinai coastal region, produce clean power and fresh water for export to Gaza and eventually to other neighbours, and acquire competence in the SW&PS technology development..
