It appears that the Aora solar plant was fired up at Samar, which also has the date grove. Neot Smader is further north (near Ketura and Lotan) and is involved in a number of organic farming enterprises, including the 150 dunam olive grove and cold press olive oil plant.

Thanks for reminding us about the Arava. It is important to note. I will update the story. The story mentions that the solar field is not at the kibbutz. Thanks for reminding us about the Arava.

To correct a few more inaccuracies -- the nature preserve is not connected to Kibbutz Yotvata; it just shares its name. Yotvata has recently connected solar panels to the roofs of its cow sheds. The field of solar panels in the picture has nothing to do with Kibbutz Ketura. On the other hand, Ketura should be noted for hosting the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies.

There was a confusion, I think, becomes the names are so similar. The article has been updated. Thanks Marc. There was a confusion, I think, becomes the names are so similar.
