EDF Renewables in Israel has announced the commissioning of five solar photovoltaic facilities with installed capacity totalling 101 MWp. These new solar facilities contribute to meeting the objectives of EDF’s CAP 2030 plan which aims at doubling its worldwide renewable energy capacity between 2015 and 2030 up to 50 GW.
The five solar power plants – Mashabei Sadeh (60 MWp), Pduyim (14 MWp), Mefalsim (13 MWp), Kfar Maimon (7 MWp) and Bitha (7 MWp) – are located in the Negev Desert. Their approximately 307,400 panels spread over close to 130 hectares.
Over the five photovoltaic facilities, four were won in a mid-2017 tender and generate electricity at EUR47 (US$54) per MWh, the lowest-eve. The Group acquired the Mashabei Sadeh solar power plant at the project stage in a separate deal during 2017.
Enlight Renewable Energy has achieved financial close of a 96 MW wind farm to be located in the area of the Golan Heights region controlled by Israel.
