The
Electricity Commissioner is responsible
to the Minister to supervise, approve
and plan for the current and future
needs of the State and its citizens so
that demand will always be able to be
met, He is also responsible for
implementing the Minister's policies in
the field of electric power.

The
Israeli Electric Power System and
its Expansion Plans 2010 |
|
The
Israel Electric Corporation (IEC)
incorporated in 1923 is a Public
Utility, generating and supplying
electricity throughout the State
of Israel. The IEC directly serves
a population of about 5.5 million
in an area of approximately 21,500
sq.km For the time being, the IEC
also provides electricity to
Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip
with a total population of ca 1.7
million. The electric system is
isolated from neighboring systems
and had a peak load of 6,000 MW in
January 1996 with a total
installed capacity of 7700 MW as
of today. Coal fired unites
comprise about 550% of the
system's installed capacity, while
the share of oil fired units and
gas turbines (using diesel oil) is
29% and 21% respectively.
The
main transmission voltage is 161
kV, while the first stage of a 400
kV transmission voltage grid has
been operational since 1990 and is
planned to be superimposed on the
161 kV network as the main
transmission grid.
The
Israeli system has expanded over
the last ten years at the rate of
8.8% per annum - resulting in the
extensive projects and equipment
purchases - exceeding those of
much larger systems.
The
IEC is entering a new era under
license which has replaced the
monopoly and is open to tenders
and limited IPP production, with a
newly formed Public Utility
Commission. IEC is now introducing
Independent Business Centers which
will make supervision easier and
more efficient as well as heighten
competitiveness. |

In
the period of 1996 - 2010 the
IEC 400 kV system will be
extended from 346 km (circuit
length) to 1'900 km. Twelve
400/161 kV major substations
will be installed at Gan-Sorek
(9.97), Zvulun (7.98),
Ramat-Hovav (10.98), Lavi, Yavor,
Rotem Plane, Ganot, North
Tel-Aviv, Even-Sapir, Adumim
Plane, Gazer and Tirat Carmel
adding 12'500 MVA of 400q161 kV
tie transformer capacity to the
system. The development plan
includes an additional 1,640 kms
of 161 kV circuits, installation
of 72 hv/mv substations and an
increase of transformer capacity
to the system. The development
plan includes an additional
1,640 kms of 161 kV circuits,
installation of 72 hv/mv
substations and an increase of
transformer capacity from 7,869
MVA to 17,400 MVA by the end of
2005.
Procurement
IEC purchases boilers,
turbogenerators, preceptors, FGD
equipment, auxiliary equipment,
etc., for its power stations and
switchgear, transfiormers and
other relevant equipment for its
substations through competitive
tenders, from well-known and
experienced manufacturers. Part
of the equipment Is purchased
from local Israeli manufactures.
Several
important and interesting
electricity projects have been
proposed since the start of the
Peace Process - the most
challenging being the
interconnection of the
electricity grids of all the
countries in the region.
