According to Israel Electric Company officials, the sharp increase in the price of electricity since last summer accompanied by the increased demand during the summer months will leave the average user with a bill that is 35% higher than the summer months of 2011.
IEC officials report that the price of electricity has increased 23% since last summer, and this added to the 10% increase in usage during the hot months will leave consumers with a significantly higher bill.
