Abstract: 
As a result of several years of Israeli military occupation of the Palestinian Territories, the Palestinian economy suffers from major distortions and underdevelopment.The supply of conventional energy electricity and petroleum products is monopolized by the (Israel), which sets unrealistic prices, causing energy shortages and the potential for future energy crises. For that all the energy management should be considered in different facilities such as commercial sector.In this thesis we concentrate to the Telecommunication sector because it is considered as one of the largest consumer of energy in this sector. It consumed about 9 million Shekel per year for different kinds of energy.To achieve this purpose the detailed energy audits have been carried out for the largest telecom company in Palestine(Paltel)facilities.We have successfully proved that there a huge potential on energy saving in this company in the most energy consumption equipment's such as lighting,UPS's, rectifiers, air conditioners systems, power factor, and others.We have achieved average total saving of 15.3 % for different facilities with a total annual saving of1597760kWh which is equivalent to 1272517 NIS/year, and Equivalent to 1739321kg/yearCO2reduction,a simple payback period of2 years.
