The Westinghouse Electric Corporation, of the United States, has offered to sell to Israel a 125,000-kilowatt generating unit, with attachments for desalination of sea water, according to an announcement here today by Yaacov Peled, director of the Israeli Electric Corporation.
Mr. Poled returned here today from the U.S.A., where he had ordered $12,000,000 worth of equipment for Haifa’s new power station from the General Electric Co. He said that the combination power and desalination units offered by Westinghouse would be placed in the new power station at Ashdod, if that deal materializes.
