    delegation from Turkey’s Energy and Natural Resources Ministry is currently visiting the Gaza Strip to discuss means of meeting the coastal enclave’s demand for electricity.

    The visit came two weeks after Ankara and Tel Aviv agreed to normalize relations following a six-year hiatus.
    According to ministry sources, members of the delegation, which arrived in the strip late on July 10, will meet both Israeli officials and representatives of Gaza’s Hamas-run government to discuss means of resolving the problems facing the territory’s energy sector.

    Following its visit to Gaza, the Turkish delegation is expected to provide a report on its findings to Energy and Natural Resources Minister Berat Albayrak.

    The report will include an assessment of the strip’s energy needs, facts about local production, transmission and distribution of energy and recommendations for tackling the chronic problems plaguing Gaza’s electricity infrastructure.

    The report will also be submitted to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the Turkish cabinet, after which a roadmap will be prepared on the means of implementing the report’s recommendations.

    A number of private Turkish companies have reportedly expressed interest in helping meet Gaza’s energy needs in terms of the production, transmission and distribution of energy.
