Jerusalem, 11 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s government has approved plans for two large-scale solar energy projects in frontline communities near the Gaza and Lebanon borders, each expected to generate 100-150 megawatts of electricity.
One project will be built on agricultural land belonging to Moshav Shokeda in southern Israel, while the other will serve Kibbutz Gesher HaZiv and Kibbutz Eilon in the north.
The Energy and Infrastructure Ministry said the projects will combine agricultural production with solar power generation, an approach known as agrivoltaics, and include energy storage facilities.
PowerGen and Nofar Energy have been authorized to prepare national infrastructure plans for the projects, each covering more than 100 hectares.
