Palestine faces a critical energy challenge marked by over 94% dependence on imported electricity and fuels alongside rapid demand growth and territorial restrictions. This review synthesizes 50 academic, policy, and institutional sources (2015–2025) on renewable energy (RE) in Palestine, with focus on solar, wind, and biogas. Despite policy frameworks such as Law No. 14/2015, installed PV capacity reached only ~199 MW by 2023, contributing less than 2% of total primary energy, while grid losses remain ~22–24%. A structured synthesis links technical, regulatory, financial, and land-use constraints into an integrated policy map. Comparative benchmarking with Jordan and Morocco highlights transferable mechanisms (open grid access, competitive tenders, PPAs) that could accelerate adoption. The study concludes with policy-ready recommendations: grid modernization, concessional financing, streamlined permitting, and public engagement to support a coherent RE transition toward 2030 and beyond.
