Leviathan Energy Hydroelectric Ltd. was awarded a grant from the EUREKA program to develop an in-pipe turbine aimed at providing a power-generating solution for water transported from mountainous areas. One of 250 projects each year that received the EUREKA label, Israel-based Leviathan Energy Hydroelectric has partnered with two Italian companies, Fontana SRL and ENCO Engineering Consultants SRL, to develop a model that is to deliver up to 50KW per hour. The Benkatina turbine is typically installed within a pipe and generates electricity by utilizing the water flowing through it. The model is to be tested in the Alps of Northern Italy.

The Office of the Chief Scientist at Israel’s Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor has chosen the Eilat-Eilot Renewable Energy Initiative to establish and operate a renewable energy technology center.

Israeli Minister of National Infrastructure, Dr. Uzi Landau, and Arad Mayor, Tali Ploskov, together with MST Founder & CEO, Dov Raviv cut the ribbon to inaugurate the first fully operating Israeli developed & manufactured CPV solar energy system on Thursday, October 14, 2010 in Arad. This CPV solar energy system developed by MST is the first to be based on Israeli innovations that is officially connected and supplying the Israeli national electricity grid, receiving feed-in tariff (FIT) under Israel’s latest national solar energy regulation.

MST, an Israeli leader in the area of solar energy technology development and highly-efficient solar energy production, has connected its commercial CPV system to the Israeli Electricity Grid, becoming the first Israeli company to deploy such a CPV system to receive feed-in tariff (FIT) under Israel’s latest national solar energy regulation.

MST, an Israel based CPV solar energy company announced today that it has connected its commercial CPV system to the national electricity grid.

Shai Agassi is out to prove to the world that electric-vehicle battery swapping works. He’s cleared the hurdle of finding investor capital, but he still needs to convince automakers to produce cars with battery packs that can be quickly switched. Agassi is a protean character, but he’s not yet making his own cars.

Professor David Faiman, Head of the Ben-Gurion National Solar Energy Research Center, is the developer of a new solar cell that can produce over one thousand times more electric power than a conventional photovoltaic or PV.
