The city in the center that is breaking records – and not the kind you would want to be proud of

New data from the Partner group, released on Tuesday, reveals the electricity consumption habits of households in Israel: how much we consume each month, when usage spikes, which cities lead the list, and how much it all costs us.

According to Partner data, the average monthly electricity consumption per household stands at about 757 kWh, while the average monthly payment after the company's discount amounts to about 456 NIS.

At the top of the list of "heavy" consumers is Ramat HaSharon, followed by Hod HaSharon, Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut, Rosh HaAyin, and Bat Yam. On the other hand, among the cities where the lowest consumption was recorded are Givatayim, Kiryat Bialik, Kiryat Motzkin, and Haifa, with Karmiel closing the list with the lowest consumption among the cities tested.

Seasons also have a significant impact on the bill. Summer, from June through September, is the period when the highest consumption is recorded—about 966 kWh on average per household, with an average monthly payment of about 582 NIS.

Throughout the week, consumption is higher on Friday and Saturday. The daily peak of consumption in the last year was recorded on Friday, August 15, with an average of about 46 kWh per household. The lowest daily consumption was recorded on Monday, April 1, at about 17 kWh per household. The most active hours are the afternoon and evening, between 16:00 and 21:00.

During the 'Lion's Roar' operation, average household electricity consumption for Partner Power customers jumped by up to 12% compared to the corresponding period. The highest increase was recorded between 10:00 and 14:00, when people are usually at work or school. This is due to Home Front Command restrictions, under which most Israelis spent much more time at home.
