EDF financial close for Dimona 265 MW solar field, Israel's largest

Financial closing was completed for Israel's largest-ever solar power plant near Dimona in the Negev, with EDF Renewables developing 265 MW of photovoltaic capacity across about 3,000 dunams. EDF won the tender at a record-low 6.5 agorot per kWh, and production is expected to begin in late 2028 or early 2029 as Israel works toward its target of 30% renewable electricity by 2030.
