Dimona Project with EDF Power Solutions and Nextcom

We are proud to be part of a defining moment for Israel’s renewable energy landscape.

The ๐‘ซ๐’Š๐’Ž๐’๐’๐’‚ ๐‘บ๐’๐’๐’‚๐’“ ๐‘ท๐’“๐’๐’‹๐’†๐’„๐’•, the largest renewablesolar installation ever built in Israel, has officially reached financial close and is breaking ground in the Negev desert.

At 300 ๐Œ๐–๐ฉ across more than 3,100 dunams, this EDF power solutions Israel project, constructed by Nextcom group, sets a high standard for utility-scale renewable energy in the Region.

Contel Smart Energy will deliver the PPC (Power Plant Controller) and SCADA systems. At such a large scale, this technology stack is critical infrastructure for the project.

A plant of this size injects significant power into the national grid, which means it must behave like a conventional power station with high precision control.

  • Contel’s PPC continuously regulates active and reactive power output to meet strict grid codes even as irradiance conditions shift throughout the day.
  • Contel’s SCADA aggregates data from hundreds of inverters, tracker systems, meteorological stations, and protection systems into a single operational picture.

Moreover, Contelโ€™s SCADA will also monitor the ๐‡๐ข๐ ๐ก ๐•๐จ๐ฅ๐ญ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐’๐ฎ๐›๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ฆ.

It will enable rapid fault detection, performance ratio monitoring against actual irradiance, and predictive maintenance.

Together, these systems ensure the Dimona plant operates with the precision, reliability and grid compliance that a project of this magnitude demands.

Congratulations to the entire EDF Power Solutions and Nextcom teams, and all partners involved. This is infrastructure that will power Israel for decades to come.
