Israel has established targets for renewable energy generation for environmental reasons (Paris Agreement), with the share of renewables to rise from 5% in 2014, to 10% by 2020 and 17% by 2030. However, the transition to renewable energy sources is behind target (3% of total energy generation in 2017). Renewable electricity generation is encouraged through production quotas set by the Electricity Authority, which are eligible for feed-in tariffs. The production quotas are tendered (auctioned), using public procurement procedures. For solar PV capacity, the auctions in 2017 and 2018 are for about 1.2 GW, with supply contracts for 23 years at guaranteed feed-in tariffs.
