Israel eyes sunlight to power whole country
The Arava region in southern Israel, including the city of Eilat, is set to achieve its goal of being 100% reliant on solar energy during the daytime by next year. This achievement is the result of a partnership between Energiya Global and Eilat-Eilot Renewable Energy. The team behind this success is now advocating for legislation that would make the entire country 100% solar-energy-reliant during daytime hours by 2030. The cost of solar energy in Israel is now lower than that of natural gas, and the cost of storage necessary for consistent power is decreasing. The main challenges for widespread adoption of solar energy in Israel are zoning rules and grid stability. The team believes that by utilizing rooftops and other spaces, Israel can achieve its solar energy goals. The governments reliance on gas is seen as a political issue, but there is optimism that legislation will be passed to support solar energy expansion.
