Orot Rabin

The 2025 PRTR report indicates a 12% decrease in air pollution costs in Israel, saving the economy 4.2 billion shekels. Despite improvements, environmentalists criticize the continued operation of coal-fired units at the Orot Rabin power plant, citing health risks to the public.

Tests conducted at the Orot Rabin power plant in Hadera revealed that in 40% of the operating time of the coal-fired units, air pollution was measured above the permitted level. The Sharon-Carmel Environmental Association stated: "The operation of the units entails environmental and health consequences."
