Reading Power Station

The Reading Power Station stands at the mouth of the Yarkon River, featuring a three-story central tower with two identical wings designed by Ed Rosenhak.

Built in 1938 with an initial turbine capacity of 12 megawatts, the station received its name from Rufus Isaacs, who established the Palestine Electric Corporation.

The station grounds contain archeological discoveries from the Neo-Assyrian Empire, including two fortresses from the late 8th century BCE.

Reading D unit maintains operations with 214 megawatts capacity, while other sections have transformed into exhibition spaces following the 2006 natural gas conversion.

Archaeological excavations at the power station site revealed evidence of the British expeditionary corps' night crossing during the 1917 Battle of Jaffa.
