Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Energy supervises the energy sector. It does so through the Natural Gas and Oil Department that regulates the exploitation of oil and gas resources, through the Gas Authority and the Fuel Administration that regulate the transportation and distribution of gas and oil to the markets, and through the "Electricity Authority" for electricity.
Energy Companies
Electricity:
IEC, Israel Electric Corporation is the national electricity utility company (99.85% state-owned).
Energy Supply
Gas:
Production increased very rapidly from 2.5 bcm in 2012 to almost 13 bcm in 2020 (23%/ year on average, 42% of which in 2020). Israel has 3 operational offshore gas fields, the main one is Leviathan with reserves of 600 bcm, which started production at the end of 2019, followed by Tamar (280 bcm, 2013).
Energy Prices
Electricity:
The price of electricity dropped significantly between 2014 and 2016 (by about 11%/year for households and 15%/year for industry) as a result of higher production from natural gas. Since 2016, prices have fluctuated (rising in 2019 but declining in 2020); they averaged US$16.3c/kWh for households and US$8.5c/kWh for industry in 2020.
Energy Consumption
Israel's consumption per capita is 2.3 toe (including around 6 600 kWh of electricity) (2020).
Between 2015 and 2019, consumption has been quite stable at around 22 Mtoe; it decreased by 3% in 2020 to around 21 Mtoe.
The total energy consumption per unit of GDP is decreasing very rapidly (around -3.4%/year since 2010).

Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
According to the Electricity Authority, electricity generation is expected to reach 97 TWh in 2030 (+2.8%/year over 2017-2030). To meet rising demand, the installed capacity should reach 23.4 GW in 2030 (+3.4 GW compared to 2020), mainly from solar (+400 MW/year on average between 2020 and 2030) and gas.
