The deal, worth $4.5 million, will provide small turbines for African villages.

Clean energy solutions developer Leviathan Energy Inc. has signed a $4.5 million contract for wind turbines in Luxembourg, and is on the verge of contracts in Canada and Texas.
The Eilat-Eilot International Alternative Energy Conference 2010 is now taking sponsorships and recommendations for Speakers and topics for the Building Energy Saving Agenda of this important International Conference.
A price reduction to the level of $2000/kw is shown to be possible using the Concentration PV (CPV) technology. This is made possible by using the state of the art existing components such as the multijunction 37 % solar cell and other modern technologies, coupled with erection of automatic production lines requiring large investments. This decrease in cost will allow implementation of financial strategies that will allow, with a reasonable credit line level, to build the entire solar energy production facilities for whatever power required up to the level of supplying 80% of the electricity needs of Israel, over a period of 30 years. The detailed presentation of the financial strategies to allow a complete and continuous erection of the solar energy infrastructure proves unequivocally that the CPV solar technology has the potential to largely substitute the use of fossil energy within the next 30 years, wherever such substitution is feasible and practical. The implementation of such strategy is a Paradigm change in strategy from the BOTTOM-UP approach to the TOP-DOWN approach.

Please join us for a fascinating and practical presenation on Israeli Energy Saving Technologies at Yotvata near Eilat, September 25th.
Contractors are increasingly looking to build green buildings, and fewer people are complaining about the slight extra cost, panelists at a green building workshop said last week.
The Israeli Institute of Energy and Environment hosted the workshop for professionals at its building in Tel Aviv.
The sense of those involved on the ground – contractors, consultants and environmental officials – was that green building was becoming increasingly prevalent. Local environmental officials noted more housing complexes in the Dan region being built to the green standard. The Union of Contractors advocates adopting green building practices, and large companies such as the Arison Group’s Shikun & Binui have pledged to meet the Israeli standard for green building in all new projects. All new government buildings must meet that standard as well.
German industrial giant Siemens signed a $15m. investment agreement with Israeli solar power company Arava Power on Thursday at Kibbutz Ketura.
The agreement gives Siemens a 40-percent stake in the company, with the controlling 60% remaining in the hands of the local firm. It is the largest-ever foreign investment in a solar development company in Israel.
Broadly speaking, two wars have swept over the world in the past few years: the war on terror and the battle for the environment. Now, a new initiative plans to merge the two and make Israel a leader in confronting them both, at least where buildings are concerned.
The MyPlanet consortium has brought together building companies, security specialists and an environmental NGO in a unique partnership to construct secure green buildings from scratch, or refit existing structures, so that they can both withstand the ravages of a terror attack while saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Homes, hotels, factories, office buildings old and new – all can benefit.
