Electricity Tariff Update

Electricity sector reform and structural change Construction of new CCGT units 70-80 at Orot Rabin site חברת החשמל Israel Electric Due to the "Iron Swords" war and the evacuation of GE workers and its subcontractors from the country, the commercial operation date of unit 70 will be postponed to a new date, at least 4 months after the return of all required foreign experts to Israel, and not before May 2024. There is no expected date of the commercial operation of Unit 80. On August 11, 2023, the first ignition of unit 70 was carried out in preparation for synchronizing the unit to the electricity grid. As of September 30, 2023, a total of NIS 3.9 billion was invested in the establishment of the two new CCGT units in Orot Rabin. Converting coal units to NG usage On May 18, 2023, the company's BOD decided to continue the conversion project of units 1-2 in Rotenberg site only, and to suspend the conversion of units 5-6 in Orot Rabin site. On June 15, 2023, the company's BOD decided to continue the procurement process for converting units 3-4 in Rotenberg site. On August 9, 2023, a gas fire was ignited in Unit 1 in Rotenberg site as part of the system operation tests, prior to the completion of the conversion process. Following constraints arising from "Iron Swords" war, the testes were not completed and at this stage the date of the completion of tests cannot be estimated. The Company is in ongoing discussions with the Ministry of Energy and the Electricity Authority to fully complete the project. The Company Management's estimate is that after exhausting the discussions with all the State Authorities, the chances of executing the conversion in full (i.e., to all the 6 coal-fired units in the project) outweigh the chances that the conversion will not be executed in full, and the chances of recognizing the full cost of the project outweigh the chances that these will not be recognized.
