Israel's concentrated solar power station in Negev Desert
A view of the thermal tower of the Ashalim Power Station during nighttime, which has an installed capacity of 121 megawatts and concentrates 50,600 computer-controlled heliostats, in Beersheba, Negev Desert, Israel on August 5, 2023. The concentrated solar power station combines solar thermal and photovoltaic energy along with natural gas, producing 320-gigawatt hours of energy per year. The station started producing electricity after the construction of the 250-meter-long solar thermal tower was completed.Mostafa Alkharouf
