Israeli water giant Mekorot launches a nationwide solar tender to reduce carbon emissions, improve energy efficiency, and meet infrastructure needs.
The Energy and Infrastructure Ministry recognized the project as a "pioneering technology."
The national water company plans to install solar facilities on its water reservoirs. Mekorot CEO: "This helps diversify electricity sources and reduce our carbon footprint."
"These facilities are part of a larger strategy to cover dozens of reservoirs with solar installations," says CEO Amit Lang, sharing Mekorot's vision for future green infrastructure.
Decentralizing Israel’s energy grid would transform our Achilles' heel into a suit of armor.
Traditional energy sources, like power plants and natural gas, alongside conventional transmission systems, render countries vulnerable.
Local authorities will be allocated grants, ranging from 350,000 NIS to 2.8 million NIS, depending on the size of the authority and other factors.
The company now plans to adapt this technology for data center applications with minimal investment.
The pioneering project aims to enhance green electricity production and reduce carbon footprint.
As long as we as a society are not committed to changing our behavior, these are just words,” said Executive Chairman of Delek US Holdings, Uzi Yamin at the Jerusalem Post Conference.
