Jerusalem, 11 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The Israeli government has authorized power developers PowerGen Ltd. and Nofar Energy Israel Ltd. to draft national infrastructure plans for major agrivoltaic projects in northern and southern border communities.
Submissions will go to the National Infrastructure Committee for dual-use agricultural and solar developments in Shokeda, near the southern border, and Gesher HaZiv and Kibbutz Eylon in the north. Spanning over 1,000 dunams (247 acres) each, the installations will integrate dual land-use solar panels with utility-scale energy storage systems.
Each facility will generate 100 to 150 megawatts of clean electricity for the national grid, bolstering regional power grid resilience in conflict zones while supporting Israel’s national renewable energy targets for 2030 and beyond.
