A 360 MW IEC power station that worked on diesel oil and was linked up to natural gas on the 23rd February 2009. The station started generating with natural gas as of June 2009 at which time it started the commissioning period. By November 2009, the site 3 CCGT generation units each of 330 MW, were liked up and started to use natural gas, so that the station will be generating 1,000 MW with natural gas, which will bring Israel’s installed electricity generation capacity with natural gas to 40%, which is considerably higher than the average in OECD countries where natural gas represents about 15-20%. Thus Hagit joins the Eshkol, Reading and Gezer power stations that already generate

High voltage is defined as circuits of more than 1000 V for alternating current and at least 1500 V for direct current, although in the US high voltage is any voltage over 600 V

High efficiency power turbine of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries exceeding 59% at LHV and 53% at HHV. Reaches turbine inlet temperature of 1,500-1,700 degrees C. Higher efficiency leads to decrease CO2 emissions

High efficiency means that a power station is able to use relatively lower amounts of fuel.

Such as in the generation capacity of CCGTs is of a high efficiency in the order of 55-65% compared to 38-39% efficiency in the existing fuel oil and coal stations

Tracking mirrors used in solar energy.

The sum of the net electricity production supplied by Israel Electric and the amount of Israel Electric’s self-consumption necessary for operating the electricity production units to produce the net electricity supplied by Israel Electric.

A type of contract used to establish a predetermined price that will be paid for a given amount of electricity regardless of what the actual market value of that energy might be at the time it is delivered to the customer. This type of contract provides the purchaser with the certainty of a fixed price for the commodity and insures a guaranteed sale price for the seller

A financial risk management product or contract for sale and purchase of electricity that protects against price risks associated with the spot price of electricity. It sets a price at which a buyer will purchase a specific quantity of electricity at a specified node for a set period. The buyer pays this price regardless of whether the market price is higher or lower than the set price
