This project will generate effluent that is compliant with the transmission permit.

Optimal Land Usage

Energy Infrastructures has established two solar fields to generate clean, green, and environmental-friendly energy for Israeli citizens.
As part of the innovative venture, two high-voltage, photovoltaic plants with a capacity of 16.5 megawatt and 7.5 megawatt have been established over hundreds of dunams, one at Energy Infrastructures’ HaEshel Plant and the other at the Efrat Plant. This is Israel’s first ever green energy project meant for Israeli citizens, using land that is unusable for other purposes. The power generated at the plants is transferred to the national distribution grid and then supplied to citizens. In addition, the project will allow for the unobstructed operational continuity of a strategic energy facility.

Preservation of Biological Variety

Energy Infrastructures strives to preserve biological diversity and takes part in the Supporting Innovation by Implementing Biological Diversity Considerations in Companies Project that was started by the Ministry of Environmental Protection in cooperation with the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel. The project is focused on implementing considerations of biological diversity in company planning and management processes. The company preserves biological diversity by reducing light pollution across company facilities, reducing the impact of invasive species on the ecological system surrounding the plants, and preserving endangered endemic species – Allium Kollmannianum.
