Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law establishes that a local authority belonging to ranking 1-5 on the periphery index, which received a balancing grant from the Ministry of Interior in each of the three years preceding the submission of the request, will be entitled to request that the Israel Land Authority allocate land within its jurisdiction for the purpose of establishing and operating a renewable energy electricity generation project. It is further established that the allocation will be made exempt from tender, and that the establishment and operation of the project will be carried out through a private entrepreneur selected through a public tender. The Law further establishes that an eligible local authority that does not have suitable available land within its jurisdiction for the project will be entitled, together with an adjacent local authority, to request that the land be allocated within the jurisdiction of the adjacent authority, in which case 80% of the project's profits will be transferred to the eligible local authority. Provisions were also established regarding payment for the land, the scope of land that may be allocated, and publication of the project details on the website.
