Israeli Air Force to Go Solar for Energy Self-Sufficiency

Israel’s economic newspaper Globes is reporting that the air force is moving to energy independence through solar energy. Plans include setting up solar installations at all air force bases, with a predicted surplus of energy that will be sold to the national grid. Key to the plan will be a 50-megawat thermosolar power plant that will be built in the southern Negev desert. Tenders to build photovoltaic systems at all air force bases will be issued within two months according to Globes.
