The Israel Land Administration (ILA) council approved measures that will encourage alternative energy initiatives.  It will exempt alternative energy devices on the roofs of buildings from payment and will give region discounts to new initiatives.

The ILA encourages the establishment of alternative enterprises for the production of electricity and renewable energies, which are recently spreading in view of the rise in electricity prices and the growing awareness of the need to preserve our planet, and it will give a full exemption from payment on erection of alternative energy devices for personal consumption on the roofs of buildings.

The ILA will also give National Preferred Regions discounts to those enterprises that will be established during the next five years.  Allocation of land to such enterprises will be done on a 49-year contract.

  Alternative energy enterprises set up on agricultural lots will be except from tender and will be included in the framework of the industrial areas allowed to a settlement, with only 10% of the project area and no more than 10% of the whole area for industry allowed the settlement to be counted into the amount of the areas.

The council also approved carrying out of transactions not in the area of agricultural settlement lots.  Any request of this sort will be examined in its own right and in accordance with the relevant clauses in the regulations for requirement of tenders, until such time as regulations designated for such projects are received.
