Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill aims to provide a solution to the problem of lack of electricity connection in certain localities, mainly among Arab communities. The bill defines "qualifying compounds" in which the Minister of Energy, in consultation with the Minister of Interior, will be able to order the supply of electricity even without a detailed building plan in force, where the conditions are: the compound lacks such a plan, the local authority has not submitted one, and a plan allowing residential use can be submitted. The local authority will issue an approval to eligible residents, and this will constitute entitlement to electricity supply without additional approvals, all subject to the safety conditions of the Israel Electric Corporation.
