Jerusalem, 12 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has released its first-ever strategic policy proposal for national energy storage, identifying inter-ministerial regulatory complexity as the primary bottleneck slowing sector growth across the Eastern Mediterranean nation.
Published for public comment by the ministry’s Sustainable Energy Division in collaboration with the “Mimshak” science-to-policy fellowship, the framework outlines four core reforms.
These include replacing ad-hoc quotas with long-term national targets, streamlining licensing regulations, integrating low-voltage residential and commercial battery storage for local grid resilience, and preparing for seasonal storage solutions.
The initiative is designed to stabilize Israel’s national power grid as it scales up solar and renewable energy generation toward a target of 30% of total electricity production by 2030, and up to 40% by 2035.
