EXCERPT

The Israeli Electric Company (IEC) supplies electricity to all branches of the Israeli government and to the vast majority of Israeli households. This includes all Israeli military bases, prisons, and police stations, as well as hundreds of illegal Israeli settlements and outposts in the occupied West Bank that rely on Chevron-produced electricity.

The supply of electricity across Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory is used as a tool of subjugation, collective punishment, annexation, and dispossession. In the occupied West Bank, the IEC took over the Palestinian power grid after the 1967 occupation, making the Palestinian population dependent on its services.

Some Palestinian communities inside Israel and across the Occupied Palestinian Territory are banned from connection to the grid, some are provided subpar services, some are charged differently than neighboring Jewish-Israelis, and many suffer punitive power cuts as a form of collective punishment. This is energy apartheid.
