Ministry Of Energy

Yossi Dayan, Director General of the Ministry of Energy, addressed the recent crisis at desalination plants. Despite unprecedented water pollution, he assured that there will be no shortage for households.

Starting September 1st, the maximum price for a liter of 95-octane gasoline at self-service stations will reach 8.25 shekels. This marks a 14-year high for fuel prices in Israel.

The price of a liter of 95-octane gasoline at self-service pumps is jumping by 16 agorot and will stand at 8.25 shekels in September — identical to the record set 14 years ago. The reasons: a jump in fuel prices in the international market and an update to the excise tax.

The hydrogen-powered transport sector in Israel is gaining momentum: The Ministry of Energy is launching a tender to subsidize hydrogen trucks. Colmobil has introduced the first intercity hydrogen-powered bus in Israel.

Starting midnight Saturday, fuel prices will rise by 61 agorot per liter. The price of 95-octane gasoline at self-service stations will reach 8.09 shekels.

The solar production tariff will be cut by tens of percent and could reach up to 35 agorot per kWh for those installing systems from 2027 onwards. Additionally, the Ministry of Energy proposes a differential payment for large roofs.

The tariff received by solar roof owners is expected to decrease starting in 2027, though the exact figures remain undetermined. The current rate, ranging from 48 to 54 agorot per kWh, is considered high and is passed directly to electricity consumers.
