Jerusalem, 3 June, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The Natural Gas Authority at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure reported that the year 2025 set a record in domestic consumption and for Israel’s energy security.
Review of developments in the natural gas economy for 2025, as reported by the Ministry:
Domestic consumption last year jumped to 14.4 BCM, an increase of 4.1% compared to 2024. This increase was recorded mainly thanks to the continued accelerated transition from coal-fired electricity production to natural gas-fired electricity production.
Natural gas accounted for a historic high of approximately74% of the electricity generation mix in Israel, and 2025 was a record year in connecting new consumers to the distribution network, despite security challenges.
Also, coal’s share of electricity generation last year was only 10%, a decrease of about 4% compared to 2024.
While global energy markets have been volatile, the Israeli economy has continued to enjoy exceptional rice stability, with the average price hovering around $4.5 per MMBtu, contributing to certainty for industry and electricity consumers. Exports to Egypt and Jordan remain a key pillar with 12.4 BCM, a figure that strengthens Israel’s strategic position in the region.
Electricity: Consumption amounted to 11.4 BCM, which constitutes approximately 79% of domestic consumption.
Industry and cogeneration: consumption of approximately 3 BCM, with an emphasis on accelerating the connection of factories with state assistance.
Supply: The system relied on a diverse supply mix from the three reservoirs – “Tamar,” “Leviathan” and “Karish,” which ensured the stability of the system.
