Israel and China Build Israel's Biggest Solar Power Plant

Israel China solar power image

This week, Israel’s biggest solar power station was inaugurated in Katsrin, a place otherwise known for its archaeological sites. Generating 85,000 KWH per year, the power station represents a milestone in Israel’s adoption of alternative energy, which until now had hardly been a soaring success. But it also represents something else: A partnership between Israel and China.

The power plant was built with joint cooperation between Israel’s Solar-It Doral company and China’s Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd., a listed company in the NYSE, specializing in photovoltaics.

The power station has been integrated into Israel’s national grid and will be accompanied by incentives for consumers.

State officials of both countries have expressed hope that cooperation between Israel and China in renewable energies will continue. Suntech, for its part, is planning to build another solar power plant in southern Israel.

The Jewish National Fund Meets An Inconvenient Truth

According to the JNF, it has transformed thousands of acres of barren land into green forests in Israel.
