Background

 

This pumped storage project is designed to take advantage of the difference in electricity prices (low tariff at night and high tariff at a day time).

This is why water is pumped to an elevated reservoir during the night, using net electricity, and is dropped, through a penstock or a tunnel on turbines during the peak tariff hours producing Hydro – Electricity.

The Upper Gilboa pumped storage project is designed to produce 300 Megawatt and is presently at the final stages of constructions.

 

Balasha-Jalon provided the general design, engineering coordination, and detailed design of civil engineering works, including reservoir, water supply pipes roads and concreted structure.

Basic Project Facts:

Turbine power

300

MW

Upper and lower reservoirs volume

2,400,000

m3

Penstock length

2,750

m

Penstock diameter

4

m

Basic Design Data:
  • Upper and lower reservoir sealed by HDPE membrane
  • The penstock tunnel, excavated inside the mountain, made of steel and concrete, connects the upper reservoir and the turbines
  • The machinery is laid underground completely
  • Water supply system including pumps, pipelines and a reversed osmosis desalination plant
