The tender, initiated last August, involves a complex engineering effort combining dual-use projects with electricity storage. The project will be built in stages, with the addition of electricity storage facilities to provide power during afternoon and evening hours. This initiative is the first stage of a broader plan by Mekorot to outfit its facilities with solar systems for renewable energy production.
According to Mekorot and Doral, this dual-use…
