shaving" and "demand response" schemes for the largest energy consumers of the
IEC. The communication infrastructure for the system is being provided both by

Automatic Meter Management systems in Israel and in future worldwide business
enterprises. The value of this contract with IEC to Larotec is approximately
US$800,000.


Asher Dahan, the Vice President, Israel Electricity Corporation stated, "IEC
invests in developing advanced solutions and services for the benefit of its
clients. This project will improve the service for 6,000 sites of its largest
energy consumers, which consume more than 50% of Israel's total energy
consummation. This project is the first milestone in a long term strategic
plan". 


"Cellcom is aware of the unique needs of its business clients and dedicates
resources for the development of long term advanced technological solutions, for
the benefit of its clients. We are proud of the solution provided to IEC, which
was achieved through our alliance with Larotec. The 6,000 unit instalment has
great potential to be expanded. We are confident the joint venture between IEC,
Cellcom and Larotec shall be expressed in the quality of service to our
clients", stated Rafi Fora, the Vice President, Business Sector of Cellcom
Israel.
