Following the National Planning and Building Council’s adoption of the recommendation to incorporate an agrivoltaic chapter into National Outline Plan No. 1 (TAMA 1), including an expedited building permit track for projects of up to 80 dunams, Adv. Hagit Ben Moshe, a partner and head of the firm's Kibbutz Sector and Energy Deparment, participated in a professional seminar on the topic. The seminar was organized by the Kibbutz Movement, Tzemach Organization, the Religious Kibbutz Movement, Emek Yizreel Economic Enterprises, Shaan Group, and Miluot. During the seminar, Hagit reviewed the key advantages and limitations of the building permit track, its practical feasibility, and the regulatory and practical challenges involved in advancing agrivoltaic projects under this framework.
Infrastructure / Energy
The firm advises its clients on all stages of energy infrastructure projects, including those generated by water, gas, and solar power. We act for our clients throughout all phases of a project.
This includes preparing submissions for public and private tenders, as well as drafting and negotiating complex EPC, O&M, concession, consortium, partnership, and subcontractor agreements. We also assist in applying for permits, and offer day-to-day support in dispute resolution.
The team advises energy companies and agricultural settlements with many renewable energy projects on agricultural lands. The latter hold significant potential for achieving the Israeli government’s energy independence targets. Our work includes providing legal support for land-based projects, including integrated storage, independent storage (high voltage and extra-high voltage), dual-use projects, agro-voltaic initiatives, and more.
Project Experience
The team has garnered extensive experience, including by way of supporting the Snir project on Kibbutz Tze’elim in collaboration with Shikun & Binui, representing a pumped-storage project on one of the largest kibbutzim in northern Israel, agro-voltaic projects on agricultural lands, the pumped-storage power station in the Gilboa region, the power station in Mishor Rotem, the combined-cycle power plant on Kibbutz Dalia at Tzafit, the gas turbine at the Ashdod power station, and two thermo-solar power plants in Ashalim.
International and Local Recognition
Local and international legal directories recognize us as leaders in the energy field. For example, prestigious directory The Legal 500 ranks us as a leading Israeli law firm. It quotes sources who say, “Barnea’s team has a lot of experience and know-how in the energy market.” The guide also highlights Barnea’s provision of a “high-quality level of service.”
