Overview
Natural gas transmission in Israel is handled by Israel Natural Gas Lines (INGL), a government-owned corporation established in 2003 to build and operate the national natural gas transmission network. INGL follows strict international standards and uses advanced logistics and technology. It has laid about 700 km of pipelines and designs facilities with ecological and sustainable development principles, prioritizing landscape restoration and natural area management. The natural gas it transports lowers electricity production costs and supports industrial energy needs, contributing to cheaper, cleaner energy and a stronger economy. INGL is ranked as a leader by Moody’s and S&P and aims to expand reliable energy infrastructure to benefit Israeli citizens.
