Electricity Sector Law (Amendment – Reduced Rate for Hospitals in the Periphery) Bill
Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק משק החשמל (תיקון - תעריף מופחת לבתי חולים בפריפריה)
TL;DRA proposal to reduce the electricity rate for hospitals in the periphery to 50% of the general rate.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal states that a hospital located in the periphery (in Hadera and north of it, in Ashdod and south of it) will pay a reduced rate of 50% of the general rate for its electricity consumption. The bill is based on a gap in revenues between hospitals in the center and hospitals in the periphery: hospitals in the center raise larger donations, while hospitals in the periphery struggle to raise funds and therefore cannot invest in services like central hospitals. The reduction in the electricity rate charged is intended to ease the costs of hospitals in the periphery.
