The Energy Ministry is finalizing a potentially revolutionary plan, to be submitted to the government by March 18, to turn the newly renamed Tekuma region along the Gaza border into a flagship for energy independence and renewable energy.
The NIS 3 billion ($836 million) initiative focuses on harnessing solar energy to produce a massive five gigawatts of power, the ministry announced at last week’s Eilat Eilot Renewable Energy conference in the Red Sea city.
