Gaza Central Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants Solar Project
A monumental 4.7 MW grid-tied solar system powering essential water and wastewater infrastructure in Palestine.
Clean energy for vital water and wastewater infrastructure.
The Gaza Central Treatment Plant is a critical infrastructure facility designed to serve eleven communities comprising around one million inhabitants. By treating wastewater, the plant significantly improves resource protection, proper water supply conditions, and reduces health risks for the local population.
In a region where electricity is scarce, this sophisticated treatment facility operates as an energy self-sufficient complex. This remarkable achievement is made possible by the integration of a biogas facility and the massive 4.7 MW solar plant.
Core Project Specifications
Key data for the Gaza Central Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants Solar PV Project.
Powering Vital Communities
The project connects renewable energy generation with critical water services, environmental protection, and long-term public health resilience.
Water Infrastructure With Human Impact
The solar PV system supports treatment infrastructure serving eleven communities across Gaza. The project contributes to wastewater treatment, better resource protection, improved water supply conditions, and reduced health risks.
Absolute Energy Self-Sufficiency
By integrating solar PV generation with the treatment plant’s wider energy systems, the facility is positioned as an energy self-sufficient complex in a region where reliable electricity supply is a critical challenge.
Two Sites Working as One Clean Energy Platform
The PV system is distributed between Al-Buriej and Sheikh Ajleen to support essential treatment plant operations across separate sites.
Al-Buriej Solar Site
A large PV field deployed to support the treatment plant’s electricity needs, forming the major part of the total distributed solar capacity.
3.5 MW site capacity
Sheikh Ajleen Solar Site
Solar generation integrated with treatment facility infrastructure to support local energy self-sufficiency and reliable plant operation.
1.2 MW site capacityGrid Synchronization and Turnkey EPC Execution
Philadelphia Solar delivered a highly coordinated grid-tied PV system designed for critical infrastructure performance, durability, and long-term operation.
Seamless Grid-Tied Integration
The 4.7 MW PV grid-tied system is distributed across two main sites, with synchronization works between the new PV system and the two already installed diesel generators at each site separately.
Philadelphia Solar Panels and Structures
The project utilizes high-quality Jordanian solar panels and robust steel mounting structures manufactured and supplied by Philadelphia Solar to ensure durability and reliable energy yield.
Surplus Power Supporting Households
The integrated renewable plants produce more electricity than the whole complex consumes itself. Surplus power generated by the solar PV system is sold back to GEDCO to help supply electricity for households across Gaza.
