Under the scorching sun, a group of Chinese constructors is striving to perfect their project. The 344-MW Kokhav Hayarden pumped storage hydropower plant, located near the city of Beit She'an and some 120 km away from Tel Aviv, is built to become the largest pumped storage power plant in Israel.
"Pumped storage hydropower provides an economical, efficient and stable way of hydroelectric energy storage. Acting similarly to a giant battery, it can store power and then release it when needed," explained Han Hongwei, general manager of the project.

Another shaft is entirely underground at both ends, with a height of approx. 100 meters and a diameter of 12 meters. The total length of the tunnels and shafts built in the pumped storage project is approximately 6km. Another challenge is the excavation and construction of the production hall, 25.5 meters long, 50 meters wide and 30 meters high.
