Omer Kriger, the CEO and Co-founder of nGrid, talked to The Jerusalem Post about how his company is transforming batteries into a “virtual power plant.”
The reservoir, named after former deputy prime minister David Levy, is part of a project that will connect Beit She'an, Emek HaMaayanot and the Jordan Valley to Israel's National Water System.
Samantha Sutton, a fellow at the Atlantic Council and former Director at the US National Security Council, spoke to the Post on the sidelines of an IMEC Initiative workshop hosted in Haifa.
According to the company, the current inefficiencies in the Israeli energy sector amount to approximately 20% of total consumption, representing some NIS 5 billion a year that could be saved.
National water company Mekorot launches strategy to build small power plants nationwide to secure independent energy for water pumps and ensure supply continuity.
The Ministry of Energy will invest NIS 70 million in energy projects in conflict zone communities. In the south, another investment plan is underway through the Hydrogen Valley project.
The 30,000-square-meter plant will supply farmers across North and Central America, and will be equipped with advanced automation systems to “ensure quality, efficiency, and reliability.”
Acting Mekorot CEO Danny Sofer, “A modern water sector does not end with water supply; it also includes treatment, reuse, and infrastructure management at the highest level."
