Sorek

Israeli desalination plants have resumed partial operations after a week-long shutdown caused by algae turbidity. The state will compensate operators for filter wear, preventing major consumer tariff hikes.

The Sorek A desalination plant has ceased operations again due to a spike in seawater pollution. Currently, only the Sorek B and Palmachim plants are operating at partial capacity.

The Keystone fund and Edeltech have requested that the Electricity Authority accelerate the conversion of their loan into equity in the Sorek power plant. This move suggests that Keystone may have abandoned its bid to acquire Shikun & Binui Energy.
