About the
project
The Tze’elim PV facility, located in the Negev desert, is the largest commercially operated photovoltaic project in Israel to date. The first stage of the project was completed in 2019 with a capacity of 120 MW and the facility was expanded in 2022, increasing the total capacity to 143 MW. Electricity produced at Tze’elim is sold to Noga, the Independent System Operator of Israel.
