Megalim Solar Power LTD is a B.O.T. concession company owned by Noy Fund .
The company has won the tender by the State of Israel for the construction, planning, financing, and operation of a solar-thermal power plant by Solar Tower Technology. The company’s “Or Rifman” power station operates on Ashalim (Plot B) with a 121 MW load and provides more than 300 million KW h of clean electricity annually to Israel’s national grid.
Megalim’s Ashalim Plot B power station is part of a solar complex which includes a second solar-thermal station of parabolic troughs technology with a capacity of 121 MW and two Solar PV facilities with 75 MW combined capacity.
The Ashalim solar complex is an important element of Israel’s commitment to produce 20% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2025, rising to 30% by 2030.
Since its completion, Megalim’s power station has been producing renewable energy, which contributes to CO2 emissions reduction into the atmosphere at a scale of 120,000 tons per annum, and which is equivalent to the annual needs of about 40,000 households, under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement with the State of Israel.
