(220527) -- BEIT SHE'AN, May 27, 2022 (Xinhua) -- A 200-ton rotor is installed on a generating unit at the Kokhav Hayarden pumped storage power plant in Beit She'an, Israel, on May 25, 2022. A large-scale pumped storage power plant in northeastern Israel reached the final stage of construction on Wednesday, as a 200-ton rotor, crucial to turning water into electricity, was smoothly installed on a generating unit. 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 expected to be operational in early 2023. The project is built to become the largest pumped storage power plant in Israel, and it is also the lowest pumped storage power plant in the world, as its powerhouse lies 275 meters below sea level, according to building contractor Power Construction Corporation of China (PCCC).
