Global GridIsrael's energy mix and electricity
🇮🇱 In 2025, Israel generated 82.1 TWh of electricity. The largest source was gas at 80%, followed by solar (16%) and coal (3.4%). In total, 17% came from low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) and 83% from fossil fuels.
On average, each kilowatt hour produced about 493 grams of carbon dioxide (CO₂), close to the world average of 458 grams in 2025. That makes Israel the 94th cleanest of 158 countries that generate at least 1 TWh a year.
Electricity demand was 75.7 TWh. Israel exported 6.40 TWh more electricity than it imported.
Since 2000, electricity generation has grown by 92%, from 42.7 TWh. The low-carbon share went from 0% to 17%. The biggest rise was in gas, from 0% to 80% of generation. The biggest fall was in coal, from 69% to 3%. Carbon intensity fell from 794 to 493 grams per kWh.

Total energy mix in 2024
Electricity is only part of the energy Israel uses: fuel for transport, heating and industry counts too. In 2024, Israel used 278 TWh of energy in all (primary energy). The largest source was oil at 42%, followed by gas (38%) and coal (11%). Fossil fuels made up 90% and low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) 9.8%.
- Oil 42%
- Gas 38%
- Coal 11%
- Solar 9%
- Wind 0.4%
- Biofuels 0.3%
- Other renewables 0.1%

Primary energy, with nuclear and renewable electricity counted as the fuel a power station would need to make it (the "substitution method"). Here "other renewables" is the Energy Institute's "geothermal, biomass and other" power generation, and biofuels are liquid fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel.

Energy security score
Moderate. Israel ranks 96th of 158 countries and 25th of 46 in Asia. The score shows how well a country could keep electricity affordable and on if fuel supplies were disrupted.
| Measure | Score |
|---|---|
| Produces its own energy In 2024, Israel produced energy equal to 87% of all the energy it used (100% or more scores full marks). | 87 |
| Variety of power sources How evenly generation is spread across nine sources. The largest, gas, made 80%. | 38 |
| Little reliance on imported power Israel exported more electricity than it imported, so it scores full marks. | 100 |
| Low-carbon power Nuclear and renewables made 17% of generation. | 17 |
| Low gas and oil use Gas and oil made 80% of generation; the score is 100 minus that share. | 20 |
The five measures are weighted 30%, 20%, 20%, 15% and 15%. How the score works.
Oil and gas pipelines
Global Energy Monitor lists 1,468 km of oil and gas pipelines operating in Israel, 79 km being built and 2,579 km proposed (lengths measured along the mapped routes; a pipeline crossing borders counts in full for each country). For liquefied natural gas (LNG), shipped by sea, it lists 0 export terminals operating (1 more being built or proposed).
