In a step toward greenness, ICL (Israel Chemicals Ltd), which operates some of the country’s most polluting facilities, is to build a 5.5 MW solar power plant in Mishor Rotem, an industrial area east of Dimona in the Negev desert, in the coming months.
The project is part of a broader plan to add tens of megawatts of solar-driven energy to its worldwide operations by 2030, the company said.
The solar-PV plant, covering around 15 acres (60 dunams), will supply all the energy needs of Dead Sea Periclase Ltd, a plant that makes magnesium products on the site.
