Analysis# Israel Renewable Energy Consumption
Israel's renewable energy consumption stood at 6.2% of total energy in 2021, reflecting modest but steady growth since 1990 when the share was nearly zero. The country reached its historical peak of 9.1% in 2011, before declining sharply to 2.9% in 2012—the lowest point in the dataset. This dramatic dip underscores significant volatility in Israel's renewable energy trajectory over the three-decade period, which saw overall growth of 6.9 percentage points.
The 2012 low marked a turning point. From 2013 onward, renewable consumption resumed an upward trend, accelerating notably from 2019 (4.5%) through 2021 (6.2%). The recent five-year climb suggests Israel is moving toward greater renewable capacity integration. Current growth momentum indicates the country may approach or exceed its previous 2011 peak in coming years, driven by expanding solar infrastructure and policy commitments.
