Middle East - EU to fund wind energy project for Hebron hospital
The European Commission has signed an agreement with a hospital in the West Bank city of Hebron to finance a cutting-edge wind energy production system, the Commission said on Sunday.
The EU funds will pay for the installation of a wind turbine at the Patient's Friend Society Al Ahli Hospital, that will cover 40% of the hospital's energy needs. The EU contribution to this project is 1.3 million Euros, equivalent to 80% of the total cost. The project will include the installment of a wind turbine that can produce up to 700 KW of energy. A study will also explore the potential for developing wind energy in the West Bank.
Hebron, which is the largest city in the West Bank, is also one of the largest electricity consuming areas. The project is being funded through the European Union's Environment budget line.
