Negev Desert solar thermal power plants
Negev Desert solar thermal power plants convert sunlight into electricity by concentrating its heat using mirrors. These mirrors focus sunlight onto a receiver, heating a fluid that produces steam. The steam drives turbines connected to generators, producing electricity. Located in Israel’s Negev Desert, these plants utilize the area's abundant sunlight to generate clean, renewable energy efficiently and sustainably, helping reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
