The unused sites in industrial zones are slated to become sources of green energy.
The Israel Lands Authority and the Ministry of National Infrastructures are going ahead with land tenders in outlying areas for the construction of solar energy installations. The tenders are for ten sites of 100-200 dunams (25-50 acres) each.
The sites are on land zoned for industry. The Ministry of National Infrastructures hopes they will be exploited by ventures for setting up mid-size photo-voltaic installations to be connected to the national power grid, turning the currently unused sites into sources of green energy.
The sites are in Ramat Hovav, Ramat Hanegev, Mitzpe Ramon, Dimona, Arad, Evrona, and the Rotem industrial zone.
