Overview
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| SSS Relevance | ⭐ Low |
| Market Type | Mixed (IEC dominant) |
| Key Clean Resources | Solar (growing), Natural Gas |
| EAC System | I-REC |
| Grid Carbon Intensity | ~400-450 gCO2/kWh |
Israel's grid is dominated by natural gas with growing solar. No nuclear power operates (though research reactors exist). The country has excellent solar resources but limited deployment at scale.
SSS Relevance
⭐ Low — Israel has minimal SSS potential:
- No commercial nuclear (research reactors only)
- No hydro (arid climate)
- Natural gas dominant (~70% of generation)
- Growing solar — but mostly tracked via I-REC
SSS-Eligible Resources
| Resource Type | Capacity/Output | SSS Classification |
