Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of National Infrastructures, Energy and Water Resources supervises the energy sector. It does so through the "Fuel and LPG Authority" in the case of oil, through the "Electricity Authority" for electricity and the "Natural Gas Authority" for gas projects.
Energy Companies
Electricity:
IEC, Israel Electric Corporation is the national electricity utility company (99.85% public).
Energy Supply
Oil:
Oil production is limited (76 kt). Crude oil imports reached 14 Mt in 2019.
Only one of the three pipelines that cross Israel, the Trans-Israel pipeline or Tipline, is operating. The two other pipelines connect Haïfa to Saudi Arabia (Trans-Arabian Pipeline or Tapline, of 500 000 bbl/d), and to Iraq.
Energy Prices
Electricity:
The price of electricity dropped significantly in 2016 compared to 2014 (by about 11% for households and 15% for industry), as a result of higher production from natural gas. Since 2016, prices have been rising again and reached US$16c/kWh for households (+6%/year) and US$9c/kWh for industry (+2.5%/year).

Energy Consumption
Israel's consumption per capita is 2.7 toe (including around 6 700 kWh of electricity) (2019).
Since 2014, total consumption has increased by 2.2%/year (24 Mtoe in 2019).
The total energy consumption per unit of GDP is decreasing very rapidly (-3%/year since 2010).

Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
According to the Electricity Authority, electricity generation is expected to reach 97 TWh in 2030 (2.7%/year). To meet rising demand, the installed capacity should reach 23.4 GW in 2030 (+ 4 GW compared to 2019), mainly from solar (+3 GW until 2020 and 400 MW/year on average between 2020 and 2030) and gas.

In the Israel energy market report you will find the following tables:
- Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO2 emissions.
- Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source
- Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
- Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.
The Israel energy market data since 1990 and up to 2019 is included in the Excel file accompanying the Israel country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.
Key Data included in the excelsheet:
- Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
- Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
- Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
- Energy Balance: total and per energy.
- Israel Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Israel energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO2 emissions (from fuel combustion).
The Israel country report is complemented with a national power generation dashboard (excel file) from our Power Plant Tracker Service.
Data included in the excelsheet:
- New capacities: Current power mix, installed capacity at date, capacity under construction and under development.
- Power Sector Performances: Historical data on installed capacity, power generation, thermal power plants inputs, average thermal power plant efficiency, CO2 emissions of the power sector, carbon factor of the power sector.
