The project will be built on 60 hectares of semi-desert land near Ashkelon city.
The new solar power facility is likely to be grid-connected by the end of this year, and generate over 85,000 megawatt hours of clean energy every year, enough to offset approximately 50,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere every year.
ET Solar will facilitate end-to-end services including project management, electrical design, plant layout, purchasing, quality control, construction supervision, and commissioning services. ET Solar will also act as the operations and maintenance service provider with its partners.
ET Solar president and CEO Dennis She said: "This is the largest solar power-plant we have built in the Middle East to date. It demonstrates our ability to plan and implement every stage of large-scale solar power projects, from EPC to O&M. We are proud to deliver clean, affordable, reliable solar energy to the Israeli market, which today is heavily dependent on hydrocarbons.
"The solar project comes in the wake of last year’s achievements, which included completion of a 7.8 MWp solar power plant and a contract for a 40 MWp project. We are pleased to note that, with our local partners, we have become the largest EPC contractor in Israel for utility-scale projects."
