Israel to Establish Regulatory Framework for Massive Data Centers

Israel to Establish Regulatory Framework for Massive Data Centers

Israel's Electricity Authority will establish regulations for new data centers, allowing them to consume up to 20% of the national grid's power by 2030, with individual facilities capped at 200 megawatts. A 200-megawatt data center consumes power equivalent to a medium-sized city and costs over 4 billion shekels to build. Construction faces significant delays due to long lead times for critical equipment like chillers and gas turbines, with full power redundancy not guaranteed during outages.
