Comet-ME - Community Energy Technology in the Middle-East

We build renewable energy systems for communities that are not connected to the electricity grid because of political reasons and build local capacity to install and maintain those systems. The provision of renewable energy to off-grid communities answers a social, economic and environmental need. This is by no means a luxury issue but rather a matter of life-support in a particularly harsh situation. Our mission is to facilitate social and economical empowerment in the poorest and most marginalized communities of the occupied Palestinian territories through material support and capacity building. The core of our activity is the provision of basic energy services for off-grid communities in a way that is both environmentally and socially sustainable. Comet-ME is a joint initiative of Israelis and local Palestinians communities who believe that barriers of hostility can be overcome by joint, concrete, work aimed at felling down the walls of segregation and racism.
