About the
project
The pumped storage facility in Gilboa operates using electricity generation and storage technology, for load balancing of the electric grid. The facility stores energy in the form of the gravitational potential energy of water pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation reservoir. During periods of high electric demand, stored water is released to turbines to produce electric power.
