Israeli renewable energy developer Enlight has won grid connection rights for 300 MW of battery storage capacity in a national tender, enabling the construction of systems that can store between 1,300 and 1,900 MWh of energy.
To support this transition, Israeli network operator Nega Company ran a tender in July 2024 which attracted offers from 11 bidders for the construction and operation of 29 high-voltage energy storage projects, totaling approximately 4 GW with each project offering a storage capacity for at least four hours.
In 2021, the renewable energy generation in Israel was 5.7 TWh, which was almost a 30% increase from 2020. Similarly, solar energy generation was 95% of the total renewable energy generation in 2021. The capacity deployment of solar energy in the country was 2,300 MW at the end of 2021.
The government of Israel has planned to increase its renewable energy generation to 17% of the total energy generation by 2030. In 2022, installations of solar energy systems increased amid soaring electricity prices. There was an increase of 18% in rooftop solar in private houses. In 2021, around 4,500 systems were installed.
