Israel Continues to Connect Country to Natural Gas Network

Jerusalem, 31 August, 2025 (TPS-IL) — 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 ($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 Fertilizer 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.
