Strategic Plan in Cooperation with the Heschel Center for Sustainability

#16958

ADOPTED BY KKL-JNF SWITZERLAND

KKL-JNF's joint initiative with the Heschel Center for Sustainability involves the development of a localized economic model for the production of renewable energy to be tested in Israel's regional councils. The project includes relevant mappings, feasibility studies and testing various models to transform built-up areas (residential, commercial and industrial) into those solar generated by placing photovoltaic (PV) panels throughout chosen areas. The joint project's deliverable will be an economic, engineering and social model that will enable the feasibility of various alternatives to be calculated, which will determine development prioritization within a respective local authority.
