14Operational Excellence Emergency Plan
Overview
Financing of the Emergency Plan
- The Ministry of National Infrastructures approved
an Emergency Plan to accelerate the development
of the generation segment - The Emergency Plan scheduled for operation by
2013 is intended to increase the Companys
generation capacity by 1,765 MW until 2013 - Account for a considerable delay in incorporation
of Independent Power Producers ("IPPs")
- Aggregate estimated cost ¹NIS 9.2 billion
- NIS 3.6 billion is for the first phase² of
Emergency Plan. Financing the first phase - NIS 2 billion are collected via the electricity
tariff , during the years 2009-2010 - 3NIS 0.9 billion ( 185 million) of the aggregate
estimated cost will be financed by consortiums of
banks loan. - The outstanding investment will be financed by
reducing or postponing other investments - NIS 5.6 billion is for the second phase of
Emergency Plan. Financing for the second phase
should not be carried out by IEC.
1. Including CCGT Alon Tavor 260 MW (2012) 115
MW (2013).
2. The first phase is planned to be completed by
the end of 2010.

15Fuel Diversification From Coal to Natural Gas
- IEC uses natural gas as part of its fuel mix
since February 2004 - The increased use of natural gas is driven by the
need to diversify IECs fuel mix, increase its
generation capacity, as well as to maintain a low
cost structure and limited pollution level
- IEC plans to significantly increase its use of
natural gas during the coming years - Recently a new natural gas reservoir with almost
200 BCM (billion cubic meters) has been
discovered off shore Israel (Tamar). - An additional natural gas reservoir has been
discovered recently off shore Israel (Leviathan)
with potential of 400 to 500 BCM (probability of
50). - The Implications of the recent gas fields
discoveries on IECs generation and transmission
segments are being studied.

16Tariff Regulation Principles
- The average price per KWh sold is 10 USD cents
as of February 2010. - Rates are set by the Electricity Authority based
on IECs current basket of costs structure
together with a fair rate of return on capital
less an efficiency factor - Tariff is examined every two weeks by the PUA
based on the publication of fuel prices and CPI - Current tariffs updated on the occurrence of the
earliest of three possible events - A change to the costs of at least 5.5
- A change to the costs basket of at least 3.5
(provided that three months have elapsed from the
last update) and - When six months have elapsed from the last update
- Amortization factors per Kwh sold representing
the expected efficiency and intended to reflect
economies of scale at cumulative annual rates.
Key Elements of Tariff Basket of Costs
- The basket of costs used to determine the Tariff
include - Fuel component based on a cost pass-through
basis - Financing component including currency hedging
- Operation and maintenance costs
Note Tariff components for February 15,
2010 Source IECs estimates.
16
17Principles of the new tariff base for the
generation segment for 2010-2014 - Fuel costs
- Fuel mix
- To define the fuel basket , the PUA made the
following assumptions - Forced unavailability of generation units and
maintenance schedules - Normative operation dates of the generation units
- Operation regime of the generation units
- The fuel basket will be retroactively updated on
the annual update for the period from January to
December.

The hedged amount is approximately NIS 12.3
billion according to the determining basket of
April 2010. This amount will be linked to the USD
and the Euro at 75 and 25 rates, respectively.
18
19Tariff update
- Current update
- The current update of the tariff will be
performed as follows - When the total cost per KWH sold changes by more
than 5.5. - If three months has elapsed since the last update
and the total cost changes by at least 3.5.
- Six months after the last update.
- Annual update
- In April of each year, the PUA carries out an
annual update of the various components of the
recognized costs - Financing rate of foreign capital
- Fuel mix.
- Compensation for delays in updating the tariff.
- Recognized assets
- Amount of the recognized capital for hedging.

20Key Strategic Targets
- Supply of Electricity to the State of Israel
- Ensuring reliable supply of electricity to its
consumers, while maintaining sufficient
electricity reserve, long-term profitability and
financial stability of the Company by
implementing an 5.6 billion investment program
during 2011-2015 - Fuel Diversification
- Diversify fuel mix, while maintaining an
efficient and effective cost structure while
minimizing pollution levels - Business growth drivers
- Leveraging the engineering and technological
capabilities of the Company - Entering business initiatives abroad
- Entering business initiatives in the field of
renewable energy and other business developments
(such as Smart Grid)
20
21Business growth drivers
The IEC will seek to expend its business
operations and revenues via new business growth
drivers that will utilize IECs knowledge,
expertise and innovations as follows
- Technological Incubator
- The Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) established
an internal venture unit (Technological
Incubator) to provide a framework of investment
and support services to develop, advance, and
commercialize promising, innovative ideas. - This unit will reach out to entrepreneurs,
innovators, inventors, and others to submit
ideas and proposals in energy field areas. - The selected proposals will become very early
stage business ventures operating within the
Technological Incubator framework. They will
receive financial support, access to Israels
largest team of experts, and business development
assistance for a predefined period of time in
order to achieve commercial success. - Cooperation with Projects Developers Abroad
- IEC is looking to expend its business by
entering into partnerships - The policy implementation includes
- Integral assistance to IPPs
- Readiness for joint initiatives and investments
- Participation in renewable and energy efficiency
projects - Transmission Services
- IEC is to submit to the Ministry of
Communications a request for license, that would
enable it to provide transmission services, optic
access network (FTTH - fiber to the home), and
mobile access network (RAN radio (wireless)
access network) - The Ministry of Communication approved the pilot
in which the IEC successfully connected 150
residential homes in city of Kiryat Shmona by
FTTH.
21
22Potential Reorganization
- Negotiations are taking place between IEC
Management, IEC Workers Union, Israel Workers
Union (Histadrut) and Government representatives. - Negotiations are focused on two main issues
- The reform of the Israeli Electricity Sector,
i.e. IEC reorganization - Increasing Company efficiency and management
flexibility by implementing the Compass Plan
(Matzpen)
