Wael Zakout, the Authority’s Minister of Planning and International Cooperation, has said solar and wind farms across Gaza could make it “the first region in the world to reach zero carbon emissions.”

He said it does nothing to bring down bills and that billions are being wasted in payments to switch off wind farms when demand is low.

Renewable energy could bring employment hope, he added, with discussions ongoing over an offshore wind farm and tidal renewables across the island.

Twelve massive chunks of white stone were quarried there, transported in their raw state across the border and piled in six pairs adjacent to a Desert Hot Springs wind farm.

The government is also looking at how communities near onshore wind farms and other energy infrastructure can receive benefits.
