JERUSALEM, May 2 (Reuters) - Israel's Energy Ministry said on Tuesday that it was moving forward with a plan to build the country's first large-scale energy storage project.
Under the scorching sun, a group of Chinese constructors is striving to perfect their project. The 344-MW Kokhav Hayarden pumped storage hydropower plant, located near the city of Beit She'an and some 120 km away from Tel Aviv, is built to become the largest pumped storage power plant in Israel.
To support this transition, Israeli network operator Nega Company ran a tender in July 2024 which attracted offers from 11 bidders for the construction and operation of 29 high-voltage energy storage projects, totaling approximately 4 GW with each project offering a storage capacity for at least four hours.
The two facilities – Neot Smadar and Ohad in southern Israel – will operate under regulated tariffs for five years before gaining merchant market access. The projects must begin operations by 2028, with construction costs estimated at $210-250 million. This latest award accounts for 20% of the capacity allocated in Israel's first storage tender.
Israeli renewable energy developer Enlight has won grid connection rights for 300 MW of battery storage capacity in a national tender, enabling the construction of systems that can store between 1,300 and 1,900 MWh of energy.
"Pumped storage hydropower provides an economical, efficient and stable way of hydroelectric energy storage. Acting similarly to a giant battery, it can store power and then release it when needed," explained Han Hongwei, general manager of the project.
