A customer who has a contract for interruptible service which enables the supplier to interrupt supply of gas at short notice and the buyer to pay a lower tariff for the gas. Low-priority service offered to customers under schedules or contracts which anticipate and permit interruption on short notice. Often in a gas transportation contract, it is possible that under certain circumstances that additional capacity (in excess of ‘firm capacity’) be made available. Whilst for instance the UK Interconnector is obliged, subject to physical and operational conditions, to make such additional capacity available whenever possible, availability may be interrupted at times and this capacity is therefore described as ‘interruptible capacity’.

In 1952 PM David Ben-Gurion declared the establishment of the Israel Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC). The IAEC operates two research centers: the Soreq Nuclear Research Center and the Nuclear Research Center Negev. The IAEC is headed by the Director General who reports directly to the Prime Minister. The IAEC advises the Government of Israel in areas of nuclear policy and in setting priorities in nuclear research and development. The commission implements governmental policies and represents the State of Israel in international organizations in the nuclear field, such as the International Atomic Energy Agency. The IAEC maintains relations with relevant national authorities of other states.

Based in Paris, is an autonomous agency linked with the OECD. The IEA is the energy forum for 28 member countries.
