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.
