    In the southern Israeli (Negev) desert, the world's tallest tower photovoltaic power station, the Ashalim Power Station
    , will be built.
    The power station reflects Israel's expectations
    for renewable energy.

    The Israeli government and the consortium undertaking the construction said it expected to complete construction of the power station in the second half of 2017
    .
    At 240 meters high, the tower is taller
    than the Montparnasse Tower in Paris and Gherkin in London, England.

    Covered with stainless steel on the top of the tower, like a huge lampstand, vines
    can be seen tens of kilometers away.
    300 hectares of mirrors will be used to collect light
    from a huge bulb-like boiler section at the top.
    The temperature of the boiler rises to 600 degrees, and the steam
    generated here is transported to the immediate front of the eye for power generation.

    Construction costs rose to 650 million euros and were financed
    by a major U.
    S.
    company General Electric (GE), which bought France's Alstom energy unit.
    Israeli investment institution Noy also participated in the event
    .

    Eran Gartner, head of the consortium responsible for the construction plan, said that the energy produced through the solar tower, using the previous carbon, will produce "2~3 times"
    the energy through the power station.

    The Ashalim photovoltaic power station is 121 MW, and 1% of Israel's electricity demand will provide 120,000 households
    .
    Israel, with a population of approximately 8.
    4 million, will use 10% of its total energy consumption from renewable sources by 2020
    .
