Wind energy in Israel

The wind turbines will be built by an Israeli company called Epcon,
which has been granted a license to produce the power by the Electrical
Authority.The wind turbines will be set up north of Nachal Tabor,
overlooking the Jordan Valley, on land belonging to Kibbutz Degania.

The wind turbines, which will have a diameter of 58 meters, will be
built on posts 44 meters above ground.The site was chosen because it
consistently has strong winds, company officials said.In addition to the
wind farm, the Electrical Authority granted seven licenses Tuesday to
companies for production of electricity from solar energy. The licensees
will set up photovoltaic electrical generation sites in a number of
areas of the country, mostly in the south. The sites are expected to
begin producing power by the end of 2013.
