The system will have a capacity of 1 megawatt and surplus power not used by Ormat will be sold back to the Israel Electric Corporation. Ormat will thus benefit from the feed-in tariff established by Israel's Public Utilities Authority (Electricity) for the sale of electricity at NIS 1.97 per kilowatt/hour.
Ormat is also participating in the tender for construction of a solar thermal power plant at Ashalim in the Negev.
