Jerusalem, 14 January, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The Natural Gas Authority at Israel’s Ministry of Energy and infrastructure reported a record year in natural gas connections in 2025, with 41 new consumers including large businesses connected to the distribution network. In total, approximately 220 consumers have been connected throughout the country to date.
“The achievement over the past year is based on a series of significant actions carried out by the Natural Gas Authority, including state-funded acceleration programs to remove barriers, shorten schedules, and complete infrastructure in the field; this is alongside close enforcement and monitoring to ensure that distribution companies comply with licensing obligations, maintain high standards in planning, operation, and safety, and promote connections within binding schedules,” said the Ministry.
Among the consumers connected this past year: three medical centers, industrial plants in the food, plastics, and construction sectors, infrastructure sites, agricultural farms, and businesses in regional industrial centers. A significant portion of the connections have already entered the stage of actual natural gas consumption.
