Customers
Ormat sells electricity primarily to utilities, grid operators, and energy marketers under long-term PPAs or tolling agreements. Its product customers include geothermal developers, utilities, and engineering/EPC counterparties that buy plant equipment, pumps, and system integration services. Energy storage customers are typically utilities or infrastructure partners seeking dispatchable capacity and grid flexibility.
Buy geothermal electricity and storage capacity to secure firm, renewable supply under long-term contracts.
Buy ORC systems, pumps, and plant equipment for new geothermal builds and expansions.
Co-invest in storage and geothermal projects or sign tolling agreements to access capacity and flexibility.
Purchase equipment or subcontract project execution for geothermal and hybrid energy projects.
Strategy
Ormat is expanding its geothermal platform through acquisitions, new plant development, and upgrades to existing assets. It is also broadening beyond pure geothermal into utility-scale storage, hybrid geothermal-solar projects, and emerging enhanced geothermal systems, while using its equipment business to support both internal projects and third-party customers.
Own and operate more baseload renewable assets with long-duration contracted cash flows.
Storage adds flexible, dispatchable revenue streams and complements intermittent renewables.
Hybrid assets can improve plant utilization and diversify site economics.
EGS and other new approaches could expand the addressable geothermal resource base.
Geography
Q1/2025Ormat operates a global portfolio with power plants in the United States, Kenya, Guatemala, Honduras, Guadeloupe, and Indonesia, and it also sells product segment equipment internationally. The company’s foreign electricity assets are concentrated in lower-cost operating regions, while the product business is heavily export-oriented, with most product revenues generated outside the United States. Backlog disclosures also show meaningful project concentration in New Zealand and Asia for the product segment.
Share of the revenue the company reports by geography.
Risks
Ormat’s results depend on the performance of operating power plants, storage assets, and project execution across multiple jurisdictions. The company also faces competition in geothermal equipment and development, regulatory and permitting risk, and technology risk as new geothermal entrants pursue advanced subsurface systems and alternative drilling methods.

A meaningful share of operations and backlog is outside the U.S.
Exposure
Accounting
Judgemental itemsContract terms determine when electricity and storage revenue is recorded and how stable it appears.
Impact: Affects reported revenue timing and segment comparability
Equipment and EPC-type contracts may recognize revenue over time or at delivery depending on terms.
Impact: Can move revenue and gross margin between periods
Non-designated derivatives are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA but still affect GAAP results.
Impact: Creates earnings volatility and reconciliation complexity
Failed projects or underperforming assets may require non-cash charges.
Impact: Can materially affect reported earnings and asset values
