EDF Renewables has commissioned its 60 MW Timna solar power plant in Arava Valley, Israel.
The plant is located close to the historic Timna copper mines in the far south of the country. With its 60 MW of installed capacity, it is one of Israel’s most powerful facilities. Its 154,000 solar photovoltaic panels will represent the first large-scale rollout in the country of the highly efficient bifacial panel technology, which maximizes the energy generated.
The Timna project includes several initiatives aimed at protecting endangered native fauna and flora species, rehabilitating the soil, controlling the runoff of any rare rainwater, and integrating the project into the landscape.
In 2016, the company won the competitive tender in Israel to operate the 100-hectare site for a 25-year period.
