Why it matters
- The 15th-largest oil- and gas-fired power station in Israel by capacity (of 28 operating oil & gas facilities tracked).
- Provides about 1.1% of Israel's operating oil & gas capacity and roughly 0.9% of all operating power capacity in the country in the dataset.
- Gas-fired plants — especially combined-cycle units — provide flexible output that can ramp quickly to balance demand and variable renewables, so their availability is closely tied to gas supply and prices.
