How much does electricity cost per kilowatt hour in Israel?

Answer 1

If the rate being charged for electricity is 10

cents[3] per kilowatt hour, then running the 100-watt bulb for one hour would cost

0.10 kW·h × $0.10/kW·h = $0.01, or one cent. Running a typical space heater

rated at 1500 watts would cost 15 cents per hour (1.5 kW × 1 h x $0.10/kW·h =

$0.15). Indeed one can determine how much any electrical device will cost to run

by multiplying the amount of kilowatts consumed by the device by the rate per

kilowatt hour by the time it will be run for (kilowatts × hours × rate-per-

kilowatt-hour = cost-to-run), being mindful of the fact that different rates may exist

even within one tariff.

Answer

Assume 46 agorot per kilowatt hour.

Searching online, I found several references to the price of residential electric energy,

but they were all dated by a year or two, and I didn't find a current one, so I'll have to

say that this figure is 'approximate'.

Today ... mid July 2012 ... one online foreign exchange converter lists

3.967 New Israeli Shekels to one U$Dollar.

So 46 agorot per kWh = 11.56¢ per kWh .
