The government will hold another discussion on Sunday on the construction of two additional power plants. Even the Ministry of Finance can't really understand why the Minister of Energy, Eli Cohen, is on the back foot and opposes the construction.
The more new and efficient stations there are, the greater the competition. But no politician is interested in getting into trouble with the residents, who don't really want a station to be built over their heads, so they prefer that they be built without prior discussion. The approval should be on his shift, but the power outages and the increase in electricity prices will only be felt for years to come, on someone else's shift. The state has already published a tender for the. construction of a power plant in Shork and the Electricity Authority has published a draft regulation for additional. power plants, but now the government is expected to hold a discussion on the issue. The electricity sector will need additional power. plants in order to satisfy the demand for electricity, even if the Israeli government sets. very ambitious targets for the production of electricity from renewable energy.
