About electricity in Israel

Israel is 230V/50Hz with Type C and H sockets. Type H is unique to Israel, three round pins in a Y shape.

Grid & history

Israel’s grid runs primarily on natural gas (since the Tamar and Leviathan offshore fields came online) with rapidly growing solar in the Negev. The grid is islanded, no cross-border interconnects.

Availability

Excellent reliability nationwide.

Sockets & hotels

Type H sockets typically accept both Type H and Type C (Europlug) plugs. Older sockets are Type H-only; bring a dedicated Israeli adapter if your plugs are anything else.
