Israel Renewable Energy
Renewable energy consumption as % of total EG.FEC.RNEW.ZS
Israel's renewable energy was 6.20% in 2021, ranked 159th globally. This represents a 10.7% increase from 2020. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2021.
Overview
Israel's renewable energy stood at 6.20% in 2021, a rise of +0.60% from 2020. Israel ranked 159th globally.
Israel’s renewable‑energy share of total final energy consumption stood at 6.20 percent in 2021, placing the country 159th in the World Bank ranking. The indicator has been recorded for 32 years, beginning at 5.80 percent in 1990, and it experienced a brief surge to an all‑time peak of 9.10 percent in 2011 before falling sharply to a trough of 2.90 percent in 2012. Since that low point, the share has risen steadily, though it remains modest compared with regional peers such as Lebanon, which recorded 6.80 percent, and the Arab Republic of Egypt at 6.10 percent. The post‑trough recovery reflects policy incentives for solar and wind projects, yet the growth rate suggests that Israel will need accelerated investment and grid integration to close the gap with higher‑performing neighbors. Continued expansion of renewable capacity and supportive regulatory frameworks are likely to sustain the upward trajectory in the coming decade.
