Renewable energy in Israel accounts for 12.5% of energy consumption in 2023. [1] Israel aims to reach 30% renewable energy consumption in 2030. [2] In 12 March 2024, renewable energy accounted for more than half of Israeli energy production, this lasted for a few minutes. [1] In 2023 Israel required all non private buildings to cover rooftops ...
In 2022, 11.8% of Israel's energy mix came from renewable energy sources, totaling 4,765 MW in renewable energy production capacity. [40] The vast majority of Israel's renewable sources come from solar power, including from the Tze'elim, Ketura Sun, Ashalim Power Station, the 330 MW Dimona, [41] and 250 MW Ta'anakh solar parks.

[1] Renewables accounted for 30% of electric generation in 2023. Renewables consist of hydro (47%), wind (26%), solar (18%), biomass (8%) and geothermal (1%).
The main motivation to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources is to slow and eventually stop climate change, which is widely agreed to be caused mostly by greenhouse gas emissions. In general, renewable energy sources cause much lower emissions than fossil fuels. [12]
At the end of 2008, a feed-in tariff scheme was approved which has led to many residential and commercial solar energy power station projects. Israel's objective in 2011 was to produce 10% of the country's energy from renewable sources by 2020, [6] and officials from Cabinet and The Electricity Authority gave the goal in 2023 to produce 30% of ...
