Israelis set new all-time record for electricity use amid winter storm

Israeli electricity usage has now officially passed its all-time record, reaching 13,058 megawatts, the Israel Electric Corporation says.

The previous record was set last summer, when Israelis drew 12,921 megawatts at one point, much of it for air conditioners amid an unusually hot summer.

A watt is a measure of energy transfer equal to one joule per second.
