Promoting Energy Communities in Israel
About Us
The Israeli Energy Forum has been working since 2008 to promote the transition to a renewable energy-based economy. Today, more than ever, the necessity of utilizing residential areas to produce renewable energy is evident. These areas make up the majority of the built-up area, and making them part of the solution is necessary in order to meet the required goals in the face of the climate-environmental crisis.
In our view, the need to move to an economy based on renewable energy is also a significant opportunity to promote energy-community resilience throughout the various cities in the country, mitigate energy poverty and strengthen the community, for a secure and green future for us and future generations.
