Is Israel built to continue global warming?
To the reality of extreme heat waves that are getting stronger in our area?
Is the Israeli electricity infrastructure innovative enough to meet the growing demand for energy, especially in the summer, or will we see power outages and power outages here?
We addressed these intriguing questions to a key figure in the field of energy in the country, who, because of her many roles, was interviewed anonymously.
Surprisingly, the figure predicted a crisis in the field of electricity supply in the rich cities of Israel, and not in the periphery.
The reason: a massive influx of electric cars, which will consume energy beyond what the Israeli electricity grid can provide.
"When measuring the electricity grid, there are three levels that need to be discussed. The first is the generation of electricity itself, the second is the grid, and the third is the distribution of electricity at the level of neighborhoods and cities," says the figure.
"In terms of production, Israel currently has a positive reserve for five years ahead in the field, because of the gas reserves and because of the production stations there. After these five years they will have to build more stations, and also engage more in green energy. "The transmission of electricity. In the last five years, a lot of money has been invested, and the grid is renewed and can supply the demand from the north to the far south."
Problem and name electric cars
Despite these two strengths, the figure identifies a problem that could severely damage the electricity supply in Israel and lead to problems of lack of energy - but not in the periphery, but rather in the powerful cities in the country.
The problem stems from the introduction of electric vehicles.
"Surprising to say that, but the networks of the neighborhoods in the richest cities in the country cannot withstand a large entry of electric vehicles. This entry will create a demand for electricity beyond what the local infrastructure can provide. It will create crises and their problems today have no solution yet."
