Noga – Electricity System Management Ltd. is a government company established in June 2018 as part of the reform of the electricity sector. The reform determined the separation of system management from the Israel Electric Corporation, and the transfer of key units to Noga's responsibility.
Noga – the backbone of the electricity sector in Israel
The company operates as the manager of the national electricity system, which sets a new standard in the Israeli energy sector and establishes its position as a central factor in the transition to clean, reliable and safe electricity. Its activities are regulated by the Electricity Sector Law and its accompanying regulations, and in accordance with the decisions of the Electricity Authority, the guidelines of the Ministry of Energy, the requirements of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the decisions of the Natural Gas Authority. Within this framework, Noga is responsible for planning, operating and balancing the electricity system in real time, and for maintaining energy security and the stability of the electricity sector in Israel.
Transition to clean and safe energy
Against the backdrop of 2025 data, in which electricity production from renewable energies crossed the 15% mark and coal use dropped below 10%, Noga's role stands out as an integrated body that actually leads the transition to an advanced, green, and reliable electricity economy, while maintaining backup capacity in emergency situations and ensuring continuity of supply to the public and the economy.
A surge in renewable energy and a sharp decline in coal use in 2025
The year 2025 marks significant progress in the transition of the electricity sector in Israel to clean energy. Data published by Noga indicates a clear trend of expanding the use of renewable energies, alongside a sharp and continuous reduction in coal-fired electricity production.
Crossing the 15% threshold in renewable energies
At the 14th Energy Forecasting Conference of the Israel Institute for Energy and the Environment, today he revealed Noga's acting CEO, Shiki Fisher, That in 2025, the volume of electricity production from renewable energies stood at 15.3%. This is a significant increase compared to 2024, in which the rate of production from renewable energies stood at about 14%.
Coal is in decline: less than 10% of electricity production
In parallel with the increase in renewable energies, there has been a sharp decline in the use of coal. If in 2024 the rate of electricity production from coal was about 14%, then in 2025 the figure will drop to only 9.7%, below the 10% threshold for the first time.
A milestone in the Israeli electricity market
According to Noga, the data reflects consistent implementation of government policy and ongoing investment in the development of clean and advanced electricity generation infrastructure. The gradual transition to renewable energies is a key pillar in dealing with the climate crisis and reducing air pollution.
"A significant achievement for the Israeli public"
Acting CEO of Noga, Shiki Fisher, welcomed the data: "This is a significant achievement for the electricity sector and the public in Israel. The increase in the rate of renewable energies alongside the sharp decrease in coal use illustrate Noga's commitment to leading an advanced, reliable and greener electricity sector."
According to him, Noga will continue to work to meet the government's goals: "We will continue to work determinedly to reach 30% renewable energy by 2030."
Coal as an emergency reserve only
However, Fischer emphasized that despite the transition to renewable energies, it is important to preserve coal-fired plants as an emergency reserve.
"The coal-fired stations are not intended for ongoing use, but they are essential as a backup in extreme situations, in order to ensure continuity and reliability in the supply of electricity to the economy," he said.
Balancing sustainability and energy security
According to Noga, the main challenge in the coming years is maintaining a balance between environmental sustainability and energy security. The company said it will continue to act responsibly, in favor of a stable, reliable and more environmentally friendly electricity supply for the citizens of the State of Israel.
