The Eilat-Eilot Renewable Energy Administration, operating under the regional municipalities, has been promoting Renewable Energy as a catalyst for regional development for the last 4 years. Starting with a vision to develop Israel's sun drenched desert and Red Sea resort local, its early pioneers established the Administration to guide the implementation of Israel's and the worlds first energy independent region.

The Eilat-Eilot Renewable Energy Administration launched the Eilat-Eilot Alternative Energy Project to demonstrate a model for solving the world's energy crisis by engaging and advancing all necessary social sectors and technologies and focusing them on a the cohesive but multifaceted goal that would create an energy independent region energized by vibrant substantial regional commercial development and business opportunities.
