GE is responsible for the engineering, the procurement and the construction (EPC) of the solar power station, with BrightSource providing the advanced solar field technology. The BrightSource-GE-NOY Megalim project is one of three projects selected under Israel’s Ashalim 250 megawatt total solar tender. It will be located on Plot B and feature BrightSource’s concentrating solar power (CSP) tower technology. More than 50,000 computer-controlled heliostats, or mirrors, that track the sun on two axes and reflect sunlight onto a boiler on top of a 250-meter tower. Construction is underway and the facility is scheduled to be completed in 2019 Q1. When operational, the Ashalim Solar Thermal Power Station will help Israel achieve its goal of having 10 percent of its electricity production from renewable energy sources by 2020. PROJECT OVERVIEW A 121 megawatt solar complex using mirrors to focus the power of the sun on solar receivers atop power towers. The electricity generated at Ashalim will be enough to supply 120,000 homes with clean energy The complex will avoid 110,000 tons of CO2 emissions each year over the course of its life This project will create up to 1,000 jobs at peak construction Click HERE for Ashalim images CONTACT US TO LEARN MORE Related Content BrightSource Launches Next Generation Solar Field Technologies Cornerstone Laid at Israel’s Ashalim Solar-Thermal power plant, One of the Largest of its Kind in the World BrightSource and Alstom win tender for 121 Megawatt solar thermal power plant in Israel TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS / MARKETS PROJECTS ISSUES RESOURCES COMPANY CONTACT SITE MAP PRIVACY POLICY ©2015 BrightSource Energy, Inc.
