THE LAW AND POLICY FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATED BY RENEWABLE ENERGY: GREENING THE POWER IN THREE MIDDLE EASTERN JURISDICTIONS

---

Many developing countries are taking the initiative to promote renewable energy sources
in the electricity sector to ensure energy security and the mitigation of climate change.
Enhancing their security of supply and reducing their carbon footprints are, inter alia, the
objectives framing the endeavours of some of these countries. Reforms in both law and
policy are crucial in accomplishing the above objectives. Therefore, this thesis presents
the regulatory framework for electricity produced by renewable energy in three Middle
Eastern jurisdictions having different political statuses.
Palestine, Jordan, and Abu Dhabi have a manifest shortage of legal studies that explore
the regulatory framework of electricity generated from renewable energy. Against this
backdrop, this thesis examines the renewable energy regulatory framework in three legal
systems that were influenced by the civil law tradition and were considerably modified.
The thesis concentrates particularly on solar power as the major source that is exploited,
due to its abundance and viability. The thesis studies the law and policy in light of the
determined renewable targets and the persistent endeavours to accomplish the security of
the supply of energy and climate change mitigation.
It would appear that, in these jurisdictions, energy security profoundly underpins the
utilisation of green electricity, and the motivation to decrease the severe effects of climate
change is strong. The studied regimes have strived to design consistent legal instruments
regarding renewable energy. While Palestine has enacted bylaws and designed solar
initiatives in its path to gain power independence, Jordan has developed comprehensive
legislation and bylaws to consolidate it to encourage investments in renewable energy.
Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi has started massive investments in green power, relying on
unmodified electricity legislation and self-regulating licenses. However, the strengths and
weaknesses still revolve around the law and policy regarding non-brown power
utilisation. Nevertheless, Palestine, Jordan, and Abu Dhabi need to reform their
regulatory frameworks and align their policies in order to accomplish their renewable
targets for the future
