Strengthening the Capacity of Palestinian Electricity Sector Institutions, PETL and PERC: Three (3) main activities are ongoing within this component: (i) The bidding process for the supply of the equipment for upgrading connection points is being prepared and the expected launch date is July 2022; (ii) Regarding the supply of spare parts for HV sub-stations, all switch gear and transformers have been delivered to PENRA and the contracts completed; (iii) The contract for the PETL Masterplan was signed in January 2022 and is being implemented. Component 2. Improving the Operational Performance of Palestinian DISCOs includes two subcomponents (i) to support the Revenue Protection Program (RPP) and (ii) to strengthen Management Information Systems (MIS) for the 6 DISCOs in the West Bank & Gaza. Both bidding processes were completed, contracts signed and implementation ongoing. Component 3. Improving Energy Security in Gaza with Solar Energy includes two subcomponents: (i) Pilot Solar revolving fund for households and small & medium enterprises (SMEs). To date, nineteen (19) systems have been installed for households, and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, seven (7) kits deployed to provide solar PV solution for five clinics and six (6) schools also benefited from solar kits. A new strategy for the second phase of this solar revolving fund is currently under review; (ii) Solar for health facilities. A total of 21 solar PV systems have been installed and the contract completed. Component 4. Technical Assistance, Capacity Building and Project Management: This component is under implementation. PENRA PMU has been reinforced based on previous recommendations of the WB team.
