  12. Capex Program 2011 - 20151 IEC’s investment plan will accumulate to $5.6 billion by 2015(Billions of USD as of June 30, 2010) Cumulative Investment Program 2011 - 2015 • Total of 2,006 MW (out of which 639 MW to be financed by IEC) of new generation capacity • Average annual investment of $ 1.1 billion (or the equivalent in other currency) • 45% for generation projects • 26% for distribution systems • 16% for transmission • 13% for miscellaneous • Average annual capital raising forecast of $ 0.8 billion (or the equivalent in other currency) 1.2 1.2 1.1 1.1 1.0 Billions of USD Total 474 MW – 516 MW 386 MW 3630 MW 2,006 MW Total Generation Capacity Coming Online (MW) Emergency Plan Capacity Only (MW) – 3263 MW 3474 MW – – 2737 MW 1 All numbers derived from the 5 year preliminary forecast prepared on September 2010. 2 Total generation capacity increased as a result of the emergency plan including 2009 (120 MW X 2) and 2010 (788 MW) will reach 1,765 MW. 3 The assumption is that the financing of the second phase of the Emergency Plan and Project D will not be carried out by IEC. 12 Note: Currency conversion based on the exchange rate of NIS3.875 = US$1 as of June 30, 2010.

  14. The Ministry of National Infrastructures approved an Emergency Plan to accelerate the development of the generation segment The Emergency Plan scheduled for operation by 2013 is intended to increase the Company’s generation capacity by 1,765 MW until 2013 Account for a considerable delay in incorporation of Independent Power Producers ("IPPs") Aggregate estimated cost: ¹NIS 9.2 billion NIS 3.6 billion is for the first phase² of Emergency Plan. Financing the first phase: NIS 2 billion are collected via the electricity tariff , during the years 2009-2010 3NIS 0.9 billion (€ 185 million) of the aggregate estimated cost will be financed by consortiums of banks’ loan. The outstanding investment will be financed by reducing or postponing other investments NIS 5.6 billion is for the second phase of Emergency Plan. Financing for the second phase should not be carried out by IEC. Operational Excellence: Emergency Plan Overview Financing of the Emergency Plan 1. Including CCGT Alon Tavor 260 MW (2012) + 115 MW (2013). 2. The first phase is planned to be completed by the end of 2010. 14 3. Currency conversion based on the exchange rate of NIS 4.7575 = EUR1 as of June 30, 2010.

  15. Fuel Diversification: From Coal to Natural Gas • IEC plans to significantly increase its use of natural gas during the coming years • Recently a new natural gas reservoir with almost 200 BCM (billion cubic meters) has been discovered off shore Israel (Tamar). • An additional natural gas reservoir has been discovered recently off shore Israel (Leviathan) with potential of 400 to 500 BCM (probability of 50%). • The Implications of the recent gas fields discoveries on IEC’s generation and transmission segments are being studied. • IEC uses natural gas as part of its fuel mix since February 2004 • The increased use of natural gas is driven by the need to diversify IEC’s fuel mix, increase its generation capacity, as well as to maintain a low cost structure and limited pollution level Generation Mix by Fuel Type 2006 2009 2013E 15

  16. Tariff Regulation Principles The average price per KWh sold is10USD cents as ofFebruary 2010. • Rates are set by the Electricity Authority based on IEC’s current basket of costs structure together with a fair rate of return on capital less an efficiency factor • Tariff is examined every two weeks by the PUA based on the publication of fuel prices and CPI • Current tariffs updated on the occurrence of the earliest of three possible events: • A change to the costs of at least 5.5% • A change to the costs basket of at least 3.5% (provided that three months have elapsed from the last update); and • When six months have elapsed from the last update • Amortization factors per Kwh sold representing the expectedefficiency and intended to reflect economies of scale at cumulative annual rates. Key Elements of Tariff Basket of Costs • The basket of costs used to determine the Tariff include: • Fuel component – based on a cost pass-through basis • Financing component – including currency hedging • Operation and maintenance costs Note: Tariff components for February 15, 2010 Source: IEC’s estimates. 16

  17. Principles of the new tariff base for the generation segment for 2010-2014 - Fuel costs Fuel mix • To define the fuel basket , the PUA made the following assumptions: • Forced unavailability of generation units and maintenance schedules • Normative operation dates of the generation units • Operation regime of the generation units • The fuel basket will be retroactively updated on the annual update for the period from January to December. 17

  18. Principles of the new tariff base for the generation segment for 2010-2014 - Capital costs 1/3 Equity Financial leverage 2/3 Foreign capital The hedged amount is approximately NIS 12.3 billion according to the determining basket of April 2010. This amount will be linked to the USD and the Euro at 75% and 25% rates, respectively. 18

  19. Tariff update Current update The current update of the tariff will be performed as follows: • When the total cost per KWH sold changes by more than 5.5%. • If three months has elapsed since the last update and the total cost changes by at least 3.5%. • Six months after the last update. Annual update In April of each year, the PUA carries out an annual update of the various components of the recognized costs: • Financing rate of foreign capital • Fuel mix. • Compensation for delays in updating the tariff. • Recognized assets • Amount of the recognized capital for hedging. 19

  20. Key Strategic Targets • Supply of Electricity to the State of Israel • Ensuring reliable supply of electricity to its consumers, while maintaining sufficient electricity reserve, long-term profitability and financial stability of the Company by implementing an $ 5.6 billion investment program during 2011-2015 • Fuel Diversification • Diversify fuel mix, while maintaining an efficient and effective cost structure while minimizing pollution levels • Business growth drivers • Leveraging the engineering and technological capabilities of the Company • Entering business initiatives abroad • Entering business initiatives in the field of renewable energy and other business developments (such as Smart Grid) 20

  21. Business growth drivers The IEC will seek to expend its business operations and revenues via new business growth drivers that will utilize IEC’s knowledge, expertise and innovations as follows: • Technological Incubator • The Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) established an internal venture unit (“Technological Incubator”) to provide a framework of investment and support services to develop, advance, and commercialize promising, innovative ideas. • This unit will reach out to entrepreneurs, “innovators,” inventors, and others to submit ideas and proposals in energy field areas. • The selected proposals will become very early stage business ventures operating within the Technological Incubator framework. They will receive financial support, access to Israel’s largest team of experts, and business development assistance for a predefined period of time in order to achieve commercial success. • Cooperation with Projects Developers Abroad • IEC is looking to expend it’s business by entering into partnerships • The policy implementation includes: • Integral assistance to IPPs • Readiness for joint initiatives and investments • Participation in renewable and energy efficiency projects • Transmission Services • IEC is to submit to the Ministry of Communications a request for license, that would enable it to provide transmission services, optic access network (FTTH - fiber to the home), and mobile access network (RAN – radio (wireless) access network) • The Ministry of Communication approved the pilot in which the IEC successfully connected 150 residential homes in city of Kiryat Shmona by FTTH. 21

  22. Negotiations are taking place between IEC Management, IEC Workers Union, Israel Workers Union (Histadrut) and Government representatives. Negotiations are focused on two main issues: The reform of the Israeli Electricity Sector, i.e. IEC reorganization Increasing Company efficiency and management flexibility by implementing the “Compass Plan” (“Matzpen”) Potential Reorganization 22
