Israel Electric Corporation to drill for substation damage due to war

Next week, Israel Electric Corporation will conduct an unprecedented large-scale drill, practicing the restoration of power supply in the event of war-induced damage. The five-day exercise will take place in the northern part of the country.

The drill will begin on Sunday, July 14, and conclude on Thursday evening. During the exercise, scenarios involving damage to network substations and widespread power outages will be simulated. Israel Electric Corporation employees will practice loading, transporting, unloading, and installing emergency power stations to restore electricity.

Heavy truck convoys carrying large transformers, purchased by Israel Electric Corporation for emergency power restoration, are expected to move along Israel's roads. The drills will be conducted in four northern regions of Israel, which have not been specifically named.

The Israel Electric Corporation office in Rishon LeZion will be the operational headquarters throughout the drill.
