Israeli renewable energy developer Enlight has won grid connection rights for 300 MW of battery storage capacity in a national tender, enabling the construction of systems that can store between 1,300 and 1,900 MWh of energy.
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. From ESS News 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.
Israel will this month begin allowing companies other than state-owned Israel Electric Corp (IEC) to supply electricity to households. Telecom groups like Bezeq (BEZQ.TA) and Cellcom (CEL.TA) intend to compete with IEC, and standalone installations will be a natural source for them to use, industry officials say.
Eifer said Israel needs to decentralize electricity distribution to reduce the risks. The goal is to create expanding circles, each with its own energy source and storage ability, starting from individual households and community emergency zones and extending to entire villages or city neighborhoods.
