Key Points

Israel has completed a major natural gas expansion project connecting remote peripheral regions. The new 22-kilometer distribution line serves multiple industrial plants in the Emek HaMa'ayon and Beit She'an area. This initiative received approximately 10 million Shekels in government support from the Energy Ministry. The project supports Israel's policy of transitioning to cleaner energy while reducing costs for businesses in outlying areas.

Key Points: Israel Expands Natural Gas Network to Periphery with New Hadera Line

  • New 22km gas line connects Tel Yosef to Kibbutz Ein Hanatziv
  • Seven factories to consume 15M cubic meters annually
  • Ministry provided 10M Shekel support funding
  • Part of national clean energy transition policy for periphery regions

Israel continues to connect country to natural gas network

Israel's Energy Ministry completes 22km gas line connecting 7+ factories in Emek HaMa'ayon and Beit She'an, supported by 10 million Shekel funding for cleaner energy.

"The project is part of the Ministry's policy to encourage a transition to cleaner energy - Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure"

Tel Aviv, August 31

Israel's Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure continues to connect factories and consumers in the periphery remote regions to natural gas: "Super NG Hadera and the Valleys" from the Shaffir Engineering Group has completed the construction of the new natural gas distribution line in the Emek HaMa'ayon and Beit She'an area.

The line, 22 km long, starts in the Tel Yosef area and ends at the "Palziv" plant in Kibbutz Ein Hanatziv. The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure assisted in the construction of the line with support of approximately 10 million Shekels (USD 2.99 million).

In the first phase, seven plants and consumers will be connected to the natural gas distribution network: the Beit Hashita Asphalt Plant, the Beit Alfa Asphalt Plant, the Beit She'an Asphalt Plant, the North Fertiliser Plant, the "Of Tov" Plant in Beit She'an, the "Electra Power" cogeneration facility, and the "Palziv" Plant, which together will consume over 15 million cubic meters of natural gas per year. By the end of the year, the "Nir Otak" Plant in Kibbutz Nir David is also expected to be connected, and in the first quarter of 2026, the "Beit Hashita Sours" Plant.

The project is part of the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure's policy to encourage a transition to cleaner energy and save on high energy inputs in the periphery. (ANI/TPS)

Interesting project! The cost of 10 million shekels for 22km seems reasonable. In India, we need similar focus on connecting our industrial clusters to cleaner fuel sources. Hope our government takes note 👍

While infrastructure development is good, I hope they're also considering environmental impact assessments properly. Sometimes these projects rush through without proper ecological considerations.

Natural gas is definitely better than coal, but I wonder about long-term plans for renewable energy. Solar and wind should be the ultimate goal for all countries, including India and Israel.

Connecting peripheral regions is smart planning. In India, we often focus only on urban centers. Rural industrial development needs this kind of energy infrastructure support too. Good learning for our policymakers!

15 million cubic meters per year for 7 plants seems quite efficient. The energy savings must be significant. Hope the transition goes smoothly for all the connected industries 🏭
