EDF Energies Nouvelles (Paris, France) on May 23rd,
2016 announced the commissioning of the 50 MWp Zmorot solar
photovoltaic (PV) power plant by its local subsidiary EDF EN Israël.
The PV facility, one of the most powerful in
the country, was inaugurated by the French Prime Minister during his
official visit to Israel, together with Israeli Ministers of the
Environment Protection and of National Infrastructure, Energy and Water
and Antoine Cahuzac, Chief Executive Officer of EDF Energies Nouvelles.
Located in the Negev desert, the Zmorot PV plant benefits from optimal insolation conditions for the generation of solar power.
The Zmorot facility extends over an area of more
than 60 hectares and consists of 200,000 PV panels supplied by French
producer Photowatt.
With an installed capacity of 50 MWp, Zmorot
generates solar power to cover the annual electricity needs of around
30,000 inhabitants for 20 years.
The solar power plant was built as part of the
Israeli government’s objective to reach a 17% share of renewables in its
energy mix by 2030.
With the commissioning of this new solar
photovoltaic facility, EDF EN Israel now operates 11 solar power plants
in the country.
