Israel's storage tender sets prices between $0.0056 and $0.0085 per kW, with kWh figures therefore at $49.41 to $74.20 per kWh. Israel has awarded contracts for 1.5 GW of high-voltage battery storage capacity across three regions, marking a significant milestone in the country's energy transition.
These projects will have a total storage capacity of 1,300 MWh, potentially increasing to 1,900 MWh after entering the deregulated market. Ormat Technologies, in partnership with Allied Infrastructure, also announced it won tolling agreements for 300 MW/1,200 MWh of storage, marking its entry into Israel's large-scale energy storage sector.
The auction, managed by the Israeli Electricity Authority (IEA), will facilitate the deployment of large-scale energy storage systems designed to integrate more renewable energy into the grid. With total investments estimated at ILS 3 billion (~$840 million), the projects are expected to commence operations in 2027.
Northern Israel: Bi-Liht, Noy Agira, Allied, and Ormat will develop four facilities totaling 520 MW at an average tariff of 2.0 agorot per kW. Arava: Enlight and EDF will establish three projects with a combined capacity of 420 MW at a 3.0 agorot/kW tariff.
Western Negev (Tekuma area): Noy Agira, Enlight, and EDF will build four facilities totaling 560 MW at a 3.0 agorot/kW tariff. These storage sites will help alleviate grid congestion and enhance the integration of solar power by enabling the storage and dispatch of renewable energy when demand peaks.
ESS News had previously reported on some of announcements made already by winning developers, including Enlight securing 300 MW of storage rights through its Neot Smadar and Ohad projects, which will initially operate under regulated tariffs before transitioning to the merchant market.
