It has an installed capacity of 121 megawatts,[5] concentrating 50,600 computer-controlled heliostats enough to power 120,000 homes.

Electricity production commenced in September 2019,[3] producing 320 GWhr of energy per year.

[9] In 2019 EDF Renewables won a tender for another NIS 150 ($43) million PV plant at a record low price of 8.68 agorot (3 cents) per kilowatt hour.

Similarly, the project on Plot A at NIS 0.76 per kWh, but including 4.5 hours of molten salt storage,[12] delivers four times more expensive power than the results of tenders for solar plus 4 hours of storage awarded at the beginning of 2021 at NIS0.17/kWh ($0.054) to be delivered by 2023.
