A household that reduces electricity consumption by 15-20% in July-September, compared with the corresponding months of 2011, will be eligible for a 10% discount. Households that reduce electricity consumption by 20-30% will be eligible for a 20% discount.
The Public Utilities Authority said that the plan will run from June through the end of September.
Consumers must register for the plan on the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) (TASE: ELEC.B22) website.
