- Belectric will install a 16.8MWp floating solar plant in Isreal
- The plant is expected to go online by the end of 2022.
German energy company Belectric plans to deploy a 16.8MWp floating solar PV plant in Northern Isreal. The plant will be located on a water reservoir near Kinnutz Ma’ayan Tzvi and serve S’energy and water utility Carmel shore waters.
The plant will consist of more than 30,000 PV modules mounted on a floating platform. Floating marine-grade power lines will connect the installation to the mainland, while an anchoring and mooring system will hold the platform in place. The Israeli unit of Belectric, together with S’energy, will be in charge of the engineering, construction and commissioning work. The German company will also provide operation and maintenance services for the plant.
The project represents Belectric’s fourth floating PV plant in Israel. It has already implemented 35 solar projects with a total capacity of around 570MW in the country.
