Israeli solar power project takes off on Bedouin land

Marom Energy slated to begin construction of plant on privately held Bedouin land, as Israel aims to double solar capacity by 2025

 Israel is heading toward a green energy revolution, and it turns out that the Bedouin community could play a starring role.

Marom Energy, a small company run by the Gandyr Foundation of Judith Recanati, is going to build Israel’s first solar power plant on privately held Bedouin land. Construction, which is set to begin in southern Israel's Negev Desert next year, will see solar plants established on 150 acres of land owned by several Bedouin families.
“We specifically decided to support those Bedouins and make them direct stakeholders – actually almost direct partners – on their lands,” Amir Alshech, deputy CEO of Marom Energy, told The Media Line. “They’re involved in the development, construction, and operation [of the project]. They’re also landlords so they’re receiving yearly rent.”
The Bedouins are tribal nomadic Muslim Arabs who live throughout the Middle East and North Africa. More than 250,000 reside in Israel, with the majority staying in the southern city of Rahat and in villages across the Negev Desert.
Headquartered in the coastal city of Herzliya, Marom Energy said that the Bedouins are expected to be the primary beneficiaries of the historic project and their homes will be powered with the solar energy that is produced there during the day.
