4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Israel Gravity Energy Storage Power Station - Inala Strategic Solar”
How does electricity work in Israel?
In Israel, many coal and gas power stations operate alongside plants that use renewable energy from natural sources. A large amount of electricity is not used, and in fact is discarded, due to a lack of effective storage options. Pumped storage uses this surplus electricity to raise water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir.
How much does Electra Energy's pumped storage project cost?
The project is being built within approximately 5 years, at a cost of some NIS 2 billion. Electra Energy's share in the pumped storage project is 25% in the EPC work. As part of the electromechanical works, the company is also acting as a subcontractor for 10-20%, which will eventually amount to approximately NIS 200 million.
What is the capacity of pumped storage power plants?
The capacity of Pumped Storage Power Plants (PSPP), the world's 'water battery', is estimated to 161,000 Megawatts (MW) and could be increased by 50 percent until 2030, reaching 240,000 MW globally. AFRY is one of the largest hydropower consulting engineering companies globally, ranked No. 4 in the ENR Global Sourcebook 2020.
What is the purpose of the Manara power station?
The Manara power station, operated by an Operation and Maintenance Contractor, will serve as a hot reserve for the Israel Electric Company (IEC) for times of high demand during which it is required to supply high production capacities.
