Israel Electric Partners with General Electric to build gas power unit

State-owned Israel Electric Corp has announced that it has partnered with General Electric to build gas power units. It will pay General Electric about 1 billion shekels ($280 million) to build and sustain a new unit at one of its power stations.

Israel Electric (IEC) supposed it has an option to collaborate with GE on a second unit as well at the Orot Rabin power station in the coastal city of Hadera.

The new gas-powered units, each with capacity to produce 630 MW of electricity, will swap older units that run on coal.

Israel has vouchsafed to stop producing electricity from coal by 2030, and IEC believed it was committed to bring the first new unit online by June 2022, and the second about half a year later.
