The only utility-scale energy storage system in Israel, as of 2021, is a single Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS) system, rated at 300 MW (Shikun Binui, Electra, 2016). This system helps operators to regulate the frequency during times of low demand and high solar generation, by acting as a load.
Israel's storage tender sets prices between $0.0056 and $0.0085 per kW, with kWh figures therefore at $49.41 to $74.20 per kWh. Israel has awarded contracts for 1.5 GW of high-voltage battery storage capacity across three regions, marking a significant milestone in the country's energy transition.
These projects will have a total storage capacity of 1,300 MWh, potentially increasing to 1,900 MWh after entering the deregulated market. Ormat Technologies, in partnership with Allied Infrastructure, also announced it won tolling agreements for 300 MW/1,200 MWh of storage, marking its entry into Israel's large-scale energy storage sector.
