A solar power tower 240 m high, a water heating unit in a boiler which can boil to about 450 degrees. This technology was developed in Israel, by BrightSource. The station designers had to deal with complex environmental aspects:
- integration in the environment and noise prevention solutions.
- clearing mines in the area.
- limited Height due to security constraints.
- The station incorporates a combined cycle station natural gas backup for dust storms or clouds conditions.
