Jordan Valley: A solar panel meeting
After the aging and worn-out existing system of supplying solar energy, a meeting was held with the company, Comet-ME, LTD., that established the solar system in Area C, and with the local Mukhtar, people from Tubas Council, and with residents. Comet-ME established a solar system in every area south of Mt. Hebron and now it continues to build in the direction of the Jerusalem area and the Jordan Valley. According to their work plan, there is a only a chance of cooperation next year.
The solar system was installed by the local council with funding from European states. For the residents who live in Area C, the principal problem is maintenance. There is no maintenance. There is no answer to what is broken or worn out. Comet-ME, an Israeli company, which is also funded by sources from abroad, builds a system, and therefore is obligated for maintenance all the time that there is a need (Occupation). And that is the big difference.
Jordan Valley
See all reports for this place-
Jordan Valley The Jordan Valley is the eastern strip of the West Bank. Its area consists of almost a third of the West Bank area. About 10,000 settlers live there, about 65,000 Palestinian residents in the villages and towns. In addition, about 15,000 are scattered in small shepherd communities. These communities are living in severe distress because of two types of harassment: the military declaring some of their living areas, as fire zones, evicting them for long hours from their residence to the scorching heat of the summer and the bitter cold of the winter. The other type is abuse by rioters who cling to the grazing areas of the shepherd communities, and the declared fire areas (without being deported). The many groundwaters in the Jordan Valley belong to Mekorot and are not available to Palestinians living in the Jordan Valley. The Palestinians bring water to their needs in high-cost followers.
