The Rutenberg Power Station at Ashkelon is Israel's second coal-fueled and first all-lsraeli-planned station. It is a landmark in the history of electric power in Israel. Construction began in 1983. This is Israel's second coal-fueled station. Since the Israel Electric corporation was founded in 1923 by Pinchas Rutenberg (1879-1942), it has grown with the Jewish State, beginning with a diesel generator, followed by the hydroelectric plant at Naharaim (which fell under Jordanian control in 1948), thermal stations at Haifa, the Reding station at Tel Aviv, Eshkol at Ashdod, Meor David at Hedera and now this new Rutenberg Station with two 550 MW production units. Its huge investments have made the Israel Electric Corp. a major national economic force.
