Directive 4.82 — the Fuel Conversion and Electricity Efficiency Track — is a competitive capital grant programme operated by Israel's Authority for Investments and Development of Industry and Economy at the Ministry of Economy and Industry, in partnership with the Ministries of Finance, Energy and Infrastructure, and Environmental Protection. The 2026 call was the second annual edition of this programme, established in response to the Israeli government's 2024 carbon tax decision. The total programme budget is NIS 300 million spread over three years. The 2026 submission deadline was 28 May 2026 at 10:00 Israel time, which has passed; a 2027 call is anticipated given the multi-year programme structure.
Grants cover 25%–50% of eligible investment costs, up to a maximum of NIS 3.5 million per factory. The programme operates across two tracks: Track A covers conversion of fuels to electricity, hydrogen, or natural gas, and fuel efficiency projects; Track B covers replacement of electrical equipment with more efficient alternatives and electricity consumption reduction measures. The 2026 call introduced expanded sector eligibility for the first time, including cold storage, industrial laundries, institutional catering, waste treatment facilities, and selected mining and quarrying sectors, in addition to the standard manufacturing base.
Eligible applicants must be corporations registered in Israel or licensed dealers; budgeted entities are excluded. Annual sales turnover must not have exceeded NIS 400 million in the year preceding the application. ESCO entrepreneurs providing energy services to client companies may also apply, provided they attach their contracting agreement. A NIS 500 application fee applies. Applications were submitted via an online form at forms.wmg.co.il/kalkalit, and contact for the programme runs through the Authority for Investments, with email Reducing.Emissions@economy.gov.il and phone 03-9778794.
Capital grants of 25–50% (up to NIS 3.5 million per factory) for Israeli industrial plants converting fuels to cleaner alternatives or upgrading electricity-consumption efficiency under Directive 4.82.
