Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 Business
 The Company is primarily engaged in the geothermal and recovered energy business and primarily designs, develops, builds, sells, owns and operates clean, environmentally friendly geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants, usually using equipment that it designs and manufactures. The Company owns and operates geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants in various countries, including the United States, Kenya, Guatemala, Guadeloupe and Honduras. The Company’s equipment manufacturing operations are primarily located in Israel. Additionally, the Company owns and operates independent storage facilities in the United States providing energy storage and related services. Most of the Company’s domestic power plant facilities are Qualifying Facilities under the PURPA. The Power Purchase Agreements (“PPAs”) for certain of such facilities are dependent upon their maintaining Qualifying Facility status.
 Rounding
 Dollar amounts, except per share data, in the notes to these financial statements are rounded to the closest $1,000, unless otherwise indicated.
 Basis of Presentation
 The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and of all majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company exercises control over operating and financial policies, and variable interest entities in which the Company has an interest and is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 Investments in less-than-majority-owned entities or other entities in which the Company exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method of accounting or consolidated if they are a variable interest entity in which the Company has an interest and is the primary beneficiary. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by the Company’s share of undistributed earnings or losses of such companies. The Company’s earnings or losses in investments accounted for under the equity method have been reflected as “equity in earnings (losses) of investees, net” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
 Use of estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of such financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates with regard to the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, including intangible assets, revenue recognition of product sales using the percentage of completion method, asset retirement obligations, and the provision for income taxes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 The Company considers all highly liquid instruments, with an original maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
 Under the terms of certain long-term debt agreements, the Company is required to maintain certain debt service reserves, including principal and interest, cash collateral and operating fund accounts, including for future wells drilling, which have been classified as restricted cash and cash equivalents. Funds that will be used to satisfy obligations due during the next 12 months are classified as current restricted cash and cash equivalents, with the remainder classified as non-current restricted cash and cash equivalents, if applicable. Such amounts are invested primarily in money market accounts and commercial paper with a minimum investment grade of “A”.
Reconciliation of Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents reported on the balance sheets that sum to the total of the same amounts shown on the statement of cash flows:
 
December 31,
202420232022
(Dollars in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents $94,395 $195,808 $95,872 
Restricted cash and cash equivalents 111,377 91,962130,804
Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents $205,772 $287,770 $226,676 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments, accounts receivable, and the cross-currency and interest rate swap transactions.
 Cash Investments:
The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions located in the U.S. and in foreign countries. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had deposits totaling $31.2 million and $43.2 million, respectively, in ten United States financial institutions that were federally insured up to $250,000 per account. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s deposits in foreign countries of approximately $73.9 million and $57.5 million, respectively, were not insured.
 Account Receivables:
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, accounts receivable related to operations in foreign countries amounted to approximately $105.2 million and $152.2 million, respectively. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, accounts receivable from the Company’s major customers (see Note 17) amounted to approximately 57% and 57%, respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivable. The aggregate amount of notes receivable exceeding 10% of total receivables for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is $99.7 million and $161.0 million, respectively.
 The Company has historically been able to collect substantially all of its receivable balances. As of December 31, 2024, the amount overdue from KPLC in Kenya was $38.3 million of which $20.0 million was paid in January and February of 2025. The Company believes it will be able to collect all past due amounts in Kenya. This belief is supported by the fact that in addition to KPLC's obligations under its power purchase agreement, the Company holds a support letter from the Government of Kenya that covers certain cases of KPLC non-payment (such as non-payments that are caused by government actions and/or political events).
In Honduras, as of December 31, 2024, the total amount overdue from ENEE was $16.2 million of which $2.5 million was collected in January and February of 2025. In addition, due to the financial situation in Honduras, the Company may experience additional delays in collection. The Company believes it will be able to collect all past due amounts in Honduras.
Additionally, the Company considers the counterparty credit risk related to the cross-currency and interest rate swap transactions, as further described in note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, when assessing the hedge effectiveness, noting such risk to be low as of December 31, 2024.
 Inventories
 Inventories consist primarily of raw material parts and sub-assemblies for power units and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the weighted-average cost method. Inventories are reduced by a provision for slow-moving and obsolete inventories. This provision was not material at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
 Deposits and Other
 Deposits and other consist primarily of performance bonds for construction and storage projects, long-term insurance contract funds and receivables, certain deferred costs, and long-term costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts related to the Dominica project.
 Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
 Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, (except when acquired as part of a business combination, as further described under Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements), net of accumulated depreciation. All costs associated with the acquisition, development and construction of power plants operated by the Company are capitalized. Major improvements are capitalized and repairs and maintenance (including major maintenance) costs are expensed. Power plants operated by the Company, which include geothermal wells and exploration and resource development costs, are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 15 to 30 years. The other assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:
 
Years
Buildings 25
Leasehold improvements 15-30
Machinery and equipment — manufacturing and drilling 5-10
Machinery and equipment — computers 3-5
Energy storage equipment 15-20
Solar facility equipment30
Office equipment — furniture and fixtures 5-15
Office equipment — other5-10
Vehicles 5-7
 The cost and accumulated depreciation of items sold or retired are removed from the accounts. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized currently and recorded in the accompanying statements of operations.
 The Company capitalizes interest costs as part of constructing power plant facilities. Such capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset to which it relates and is amortized over the asset’s estimated useful life. Capitalized interest costs amounted to $14.7 million, $17.3 million, and $18.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge, primarily related to its Brawley power plant as further detailed below under the caption “Impairment of long-lived assets”.
Exploration and Development Costs
 The Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with the exploration and development of geothermal resources once it acquires land rights to the potential geothermal resource. Prior to acquiring land rights, the Company makes an initial assessment that an economically feasible geothermal reservoir is probable on that land. The Company determines the economic feasibility of potential geothermal resources internally, with all available data and external assessments vetted through the exploration department and occasionally using outside service providers. Costs associated with the initial assessment are expensed and included in cost of electricity revenues in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Such costs were immaterial during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. It normally takes two to three years from the time active exploration of a particular geothermal resource begins to the time a production well is in operation, assuming the resource is commercially viable. However, in certain sites the process may take longer due to permitting delays, transmission constraints or any other commercial milestones that are required to be reached in order to pursue the development process.
 In most cases, the Company obtains the right to conduct the geothermal development and operations on land owned by the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"), various states or with private parties. The land lease payments made during the exploration, development and construction phase are accounted under lease accounting as further described under the caption Leases below and reflected as expenses under “Electricity cost of revenues” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Upon commencement of power generation on the leased land, the Company begins to pay the lessor’s long-term royalty payments based on the utilization of the geothermal resources as defined in the respective agreements. Such payments are expensed when the related revenues are earned and included in “Electricity cost of revenues” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
   Following the acquisition of land rights to the potential geothermal resource, the Company conducts further studies and surveys, including water and soil analyses, among others, and augments its database with the results of these studies. The Company then initiates a suite of geophysical surveys to assess the resource and determine drilling locations. If the results of these activities support the initial assessment of the feasibility of the geothermal resource, the Company then proceeds to exploratory drilling and other related activities which may include drilling of temperature gradient holes, drilling of slim holes, building access roads to drilling locations, drilling full size production and/or injection wells and flow tests. If the slim hole supports a conclusion that the geothermal resource will support a commercially viable power plant, it may be converted to a full-size commercial well, used either for extraction or re-injection of geothermal fluids, or be used as an observation well to monitor and define the geothermal resource. Costs associated with these activities and other directly attributable costs, including interest once physical exploration activities begin, and permitting costs are capitalized and included in “Construction-in-process”. If the Company concludes that a geothermal resource will not support commercial operations, capitalized costs are expensed in the period such determination is made.
 When deciding whether to continue holding lease rights and/or to pursue exploration activity, the Company diligently prioritizes prospective investments, taking into account resource and probability assessments in order to make informed decisions about whether a particular project will support commercial operation. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $3.9 million, $3.7 million, and $0.8 million of unsuccessful exploration and storage activities, respectively, that the
Company decided to no longer pursue, out of which $2.0 million in 2024 relate to storage activities that the Company decided to no longer pursue.
 All exploration and development costs that are being capitalized will be depreciated over their estimated useful lives when the related geothermal power plant is substantially complete and ready for use. A geothermal power plant is substantially complete and ready for use when electricity generation commences.
Asset Retirement Obligation
 The Company records the fair value of a legal liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. The Company’s legal liabilities include plugging wells and post-closure costs of power producing and storage sites. When a new liability for asset retirement obligations is recorded, the Company capitalizes the costs of the liability by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. The Company periodically reassesses the assumptions used to estimate the expected cash flows required to settle the asset retirement obligation, including changes in estimated probabilities, amounts, and timing of the settlement of the asset retirement obligation, as well as changes in the legal requirements of an obligation and revises the previously recorded asset retirement obligation accordingly. At retirement, the obligation is settled for its recorded amount at a gain or loss.
 Deferred Financing Costs
 Deferred financing costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability or under "Deposits and other" if associated with lines of credit. Such deferred costs are amortized over the term of the related obligation using the effective interest method or ratably, as applicable. Amortization of deferred financing costs is presented as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $5.9 million, $5.9 million, and $4.2 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, no material amounts were written-off as a result of extinguishment of liabilities.
Goodwill
 Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred in the business combination transactions over the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired, net of the fair value of liabilities assumed and the fair value of any noncontrolling interest in the acquisitions. Goodwill is not amortized but rather subject to a periodic impairment testing on an annual basis, which the Company performs on December 31 of each year, or if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Additionally, it is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether a quantitative goodwill impairment test is necessary. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. An entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test. This would not preclude the entity from performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The quantitative assessment compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Under ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. However, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. For further information relating to goodwill see Note 9 - Intangible Assets and Goodwill to the consolidated financial statements.
 Intangible Assets
 Intangible assets consist of allocated acquisition costs of PPAs, which are amortized using the straight-line method over the 4 to 17-year terms of the agreements (see Note 9) as well as acquisition costs allocation related to the Company's Energy Storage segment activities that are amortized over a period of between approximately 6 and 19 years. Intangible assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. In case there are no such events or change in circumstances, there is no need to perform an impairment testing. The recoverability is tested by comparing the net carrying value of the intangible assets to the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of these assets. If the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (or asset group) is not recoverable, the fair value of the asset (asset group) is measured and if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.
 Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of
 The Company evaluates long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and construction-in-process for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Factors which could trigger an impairment include, among others, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the Company’s use of assets or its overall business strategy, negative industry or economic trends, a determination that an exploration project will not support commercial operations, a determination that a suspended project is not likely to be completed, a significant increase in costs necessary to complete a project, legal factors relating to its business or when it concludes that it is more likely than not that an asset will be disposed of or sold.
 The Company tests its operating plants that are operated together as a complex for impairment at the complex level because the cash flows of such plants result from significant shared operating activities. For example, the operating power plants in a complex are managed under a combined operation management generally with one central control room that controls all of the power plants in a complex and one maintenance group that services all of the power plants in a complex. As a result, the cash flows from individual plants within a complex are not largely independent of the cash flows of other plants within the complex. The Company tests for impairment of its operating plants which are not operated as a complex as well as its projects under exploration, development or construction that are not part of an existing complex at the plant or project level. To the extent an operating plant becomes part of a complex, the Company will test for impairment at the complex level.
 Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. The significant assumptions that the Company uses in estimating its undiscounted future cash flows include: (i) projected generating capacity of the complex or power plant and rates to be received under the respective PPAs and expected market rates thereafter and (ii) projected operating expenses of the relevant complex or power plant. Estimates of future cash flows used to test recoverability of a long-lived asset under development also include cash flows associated with all future expenditures necessary to develop the asset.
   If the assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value. Management believes that as of December 31, 2024, no impairment exists for long-lived assets, however, estimates as to the recoverability of such assets may change based on revised circumstances. If actual cash flows differ significantly from the Company’s current estimates, a material impairment charge may be required in the future.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $30.5 million relating to its Brawley power plant. Further information relating to this impairment charge is disclosed under Note 8 - Property, Plant and Equipment to the consolidated financial statements.
Derivative Instruments
 Derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) are measured at their fair value and recorded as either assets or liabilities unless exempted from derivative treatment as a normal purchase and sale. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized in earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments are initially recorded in “Other comprehensive income (loss)” and a corresponding amount is reclassified out of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” into earnings to offset the impact of the underlying hedge transaction when it affects earnings under the same line item in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
 The Company maintains a risk management strategy that may incorporate the use of swap contracts, put options, forward exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, and cross-currency swaps to minimize significant fluctuation in cash flows and/or earnings that are caused by oil and natural gas prices, exchange rate or interest rate volatility.
 Foreign Currency Translation
 The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for all of the Company’s consolidated operations and those of its equity affiliates except the Guadeloupe power plant and the Company's operations in New Zealand. For those U.S. dollar functional currency entities, all gains and losses from currency translations are included under “Derivatives and foreign currency transaction gains (losses)” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Euro and New Zealand Dollar are the functional currencies of the Company's operations in Guadeloupe and New Zealand, respectively, and thus the impact from currency translation adjustments related to those locations is included as currency translation adjustments in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the consolidated statements of equity and in comprehensive income. The accumulated currency translation adjustments amounted to a debit of $9.3 million and a debit of $2.3 million, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 
 Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income includes net income plus other comprehensive income (loss), which for the Company consists primarily of changes in foreign currency translation adjustments, changes in unrealized gains or losses in respect of the Company’s share in derivatives instruments of an unconsolidated investment that qualifies as a cash flow hedge, and changes in respect of derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge. The changes in foreign currency translation adjustments included under other comprehensive income (loss) during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $(8.2) million, $1.3 million, and $(2.5) million, respectively. The changes in the Company’s share in derivative instruments of an unconsolidated investment, and gains or losses in respect of derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge are disclosed under Note 5 – Investment in unconsolidated companies, and Note 7 - Fair value of financial instruments, respectively, to the consolidated financial statements.
Power Purchase Agreements
Substantially all of the Company’s Electricity revenues are recognized pursuant to PPAs in the United States, and in various foreign countries, including Kenya, Guatemala, Guadeloupe and Honduras. These PPAs generally provide for the payment of energy
payments or both energy and capacity payments through their respective terms which expire in varying periods from 2025 to 2051. Generally, capacity payments are calculated based on the amount of time that the power plants are available to generate electricity. The energy payments are calculated based on the amount of electrical energy delivered at a designated delivery point. The price terms are customary in the industry and include, among others, a fixed price, SRAC (the incremental cost that the power purchaser avoids by not having to generate such electrical energy itself or purchase it from others), and a fixed price with an escalation clause that includes the value for environmental attributes, known as renewable energy credits. Certain of the PPAs provide for bonus payments in the event that the Company is able to exceed certain target levels and potential payments by the Company if it fails to meet minimum target levels. The Company has PPAs that give the power purchaser or its designee a right of first refusal or a right of first offer to acquire the geothermal power plants at fair market value as negotiated between the parties. One of the Company’s subsidiaries in Guatemala sells power at an agreed upon price subject to terms of a “take or pay” PPA.
 Pursuant to the terms of certain of the PPAs, the Company may be required to make payments to the relevant power purchaser under certain conditions, such as shortfall in delivery of renewable energy and energy credits, and not meeting certain performance threshold requirements, as defined in the relevant PPA. The amount of payment required is dependent upon the level of shortfall in delivery or performance requirements and is recorded in the period the shortfall occurs. In addition, if the Company does not meet certain minimum performance requirements, the capacity of the power plant may be permanently reduced.
 Revenues and Cost of Revenues
 Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized in connection with the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Company is required to apply each of the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contracts; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Revenues are primarily related to: (i) sale of electricity from geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants owned and operated by the Company; (ii) geothermal and recovered energy-based power plant equipment sale, engineering, construction and installation, and operating services; and (iii) energy storage and related services.
 Electricity Segment Revenues:
Revenues related to the sale of electricity from geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants and capacity payments are recorded based upon output delivered and capacity provided at rates specified under relevant contract terms. The Company assesses whether PPAs entered into, modified, or acquired in business combinations contain a lease element requiring lease accounting. Revenue from such PPAs are accounted for in electricity revenues. In the Electricity segment, revenues for all but thirteen power plants are accounted as operating leases, and therefore equipment related to geothermal and recovered energy generation power plants as described in Note 8 is considered held for leasing. For power plants in the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company identified electricity as a separate performance obligation. Performance obligations identified were evaluated and determined to be satisfied over time and qualified for the invoicing practical expedient since the invoiced amounts reasonably represents the value to customers of performance obligations fulfilled to date. The transaction price is determined based on the price per actual mega-watt output or available capacity as agreed to in the respective PPA. Customers are generally billed on a monthly basis and payment is typically due within 30 to 60 days after the issuance of the invoice.
Product Segment Revenues:
Revenues from engineering, operating services, and parts and product sales are recorded upon providing the service or delivery of the products and parts and when collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from the supply and/or construction of geothermal and recovered energy-based power plant equipment and other equipment to third parties are recognized over time since control is transferred continuously to the Company's customers. The majority of the Company's contracts include a single performance obligation which is essentially the promise to transfer the individual goods or services that are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and therefore deemed as not distinct. Performance obligations are satisfied over-time if the customer receives the benefits as the Company performs work, if the customer controls the asset as it is being constructed, or if the product being produced for the customer has no alternative use and the Company has a contractual right to payment. In the Company's Product segment, revenues are spread over a period of one to two years and are recognized over time based on the cost incurred to date in ratio to total estimated costs which represents the input method that best depicts the transfer of control over the performance obligation to the customer. Costs include direct material, labor, and indirect costs. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.
 In contracts for which the Company determines that control is not transferred continuously to the customer, the Company recognizes revenues at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the asset. Revenues for such contracts are recorded upon delivery and acceptance by the customer. This generally is the case for the sale of spare parts, generators or similar products.
 Accounting for product contracts that are satisfied over time includes use of several estimates such as variable consideration related to bonuses and penalties and total estimated cost for completing the contract. The estimated amount of variable consideration will be included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. These estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and the Company's best judgment at the time.
 The nature of the Company's product contracts give rise to several modifications or change requests by its customers. Substantially all of the modifications are treated as cumulative catch-ups to revenues since the additional goods are not distinct from those already provided. The Company includes the additional revenues related to the modifications in its transaction price when both parties to the contract approved the modification. As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of the Company's contracts, the Company reviews and updates its contract-related estimates regularly. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, the Company recognizes the total loss in the period in which it is identified.
Energy Storage Segment Revenues:
Battery energy storage systems as a service, and related services revenues are recorded based on energy management of load curtailment capacity delivered or service provided at rates specified under the relevant contract terms. The Company determined that such revenues are in the scope of ASC 606, and identified energy management services as a separate performance obligation. Performance obligations are satisfied once the Company provides verification to the electric power grid operator or utility of its ability to meet the committed capacity, the power curtailment requirements or the ancillary services and thus entitled to cash proceeds. Such verification may be provided by the Company bi-weekly, monthly or under any other frequency as set by the related program and are typically followed by a payment shortly after. Performance obligations identified were evaluated and determined to be satisfied over time and qualified for the invoicing practical expedient since the amounts included in the verification document reasonably represent the value of performance obligations fulfilled to date. The transaction price is determined based on mechanisms specified in the contract with the customer.
 Contract assets related to the Company's Product segment reflect revenues recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities related to the Company's Product segment reflect customer billing in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. The Company receives payments from customers based on the terms established in the contracts. Total contract assets and contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:
December 31,
20242023
(Dollars in thousands)
Contract assets (*) $29,243 $18,367 
Contract liabilities (*) $(23,091)$(18,669)
(*) Contract assets and contract liabilities are presented as "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts", and "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts", respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. The contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the year was substantially recognized as product revenues during the year ended December 31, 2024 as a result of performance obligations that were satisfied. Additionally, as of December 31, 2024, long-term costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts related to the Dominica project in the amount of $26.0 million is included under “Deposits and other” in the consolidated balance sheets, and not under the contract assets and contract liabilities above, due its long-term nature.
 The following table presents the significant changes in the contract assets and contract liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:
Years Ended December 31,

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections result in accounts receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. In the Company's Products segment, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, or upon achievement of contractual milestones. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to the recognition of revenue, resulting in contract assets. However, the Company sometimes receives advances or deposits from its customers before revenue can be recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheet on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The timing of billing its customers and receiving advance payments vary from contract to contract.  The majority of payments are received no later than the completion of the project and satisfaction of the Company's performance obligation.
On December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $338.3 million of remaining performance obligations not yet satisfied or partly satisfied related to its Product segment. The Company expects to recognize approximately 100% of this amount as Product revenues during the next 24 months.
The following schedule reconciles revenues accounted under lease accounting, and revenues accounted under ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers, to total consolidated revenues for the three years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:

Disaggregated revenues from contracts with customers for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 are disclosed under Note 17 - Business Segments, to the consolidated financial statements.
The Dominica Project
In December 2023, the Company entered into agreements with the Commonwealth of Dominica to build and operate a 10 MW binary geothermal power plant in the Caribbean country of Dominica. Under these agreements, the Company will construct the power plant, operate and sell its generated energy to Dominica Electricity Services Limited (presently the only electricity utility in the Commonwealth of Dominica) over a period of 25 years, at the end of which, ownership of the power plant will be transferred to the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica. The Company accounted for this transaction under the guidance of ASC 853, Service Concession Arrangements (“ASC 853”), which directs a reporting entity to apply ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Under the aforementioned accounting guidance, the Company identified the construction and the operation of the power plant as two distinct performance obligations, and accordingly allocated the total transaction price to these separate performance obligations in the arrangement, based on their estimated stand-alone selling price. The Company concluded that the performance obligations are satisfied over time. Additionally, starting the second quarter of 2024, in conjunction with the power plant start of construction, the Company started recognizing revenues relating to the construction performance obligation based on an input method using costs incurred to total costs expected in the project. Such revenues are included under Product revenues in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company performs an analysis of potential credit losses related to its financial instruments that are within the scope of ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 325, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. Such instruments are primarily cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, receivables (excluding those accounted under lease accounting) and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, based on class of financing receivables which share the same or similar risk characteristics such as customer type and geographic location, among others. The Company estimates the expected credit losses for each class of financing receivables by applying the related corporate default rate which corresponds to the credit rating of the specific customer or class of financing receivables. For trade receivables, the Company applied this methodology using aging schedules reflecting how long the receivables have been outstanding. The Company has also considered the existence of credit enhancement arrangements that may mitigate the credit risk of its financial receivables in estimating the applicable corporate default rate. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions related to inflation and rising interest rates and determined that the estimate of credit losses was not significantly impacted.
The following table describes the changes in the allowance for expected credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (all related to trade receivables):

Leases
 ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), defines a lease as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means that the customer has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset, and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset.
 The Company is a lessee in operating lease transactions primarily consisting of land leases for its exploration and development activities in the Electricity segment. The Company is also a lessee in finance lease transactions related to its fleet vehicles in the U.S. Additionally, one of the Company's power plant assets which was included in the Terra-Gen business acquisition in 2021, is subject to a sale and leaseback transaction that is accounted as a "failed" sale and leaseback. Additionally, as further described above under Revenues and cost of revenues, the Company acts as a lessor in PPAs that are accounted under ASC 842, Leases.
In accordance with the lease standard, for agreements in which the Company is the lessee, the Company applies a unified accounting model by which it recognizes a right-of-use asset ("ROU") and a lease liability at the commencement date of the lease contract for all the leases in which the Company has a right to control identified assets for a specified period of time. The classification of the lease as a finance lease or an operating lease determines the subsequent accounting for the lease arrangement.
 The Company, both as a lessee and as a lessor, applies the following permitted practical expedients: 
1.Not reassess whether any existing contracts are or contain a lease;
2.Applying the practical expedient for a lessee to not separate non-lease components from lease components and, instead, to account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease as a single component;
3.Applying the practical expedient (for a lessee) regarding the recognition and measurement of short-term leases, for leases for a period of up to 12 months from the commencement date. Instead, the Company continued to recognize the lease payments for those leases in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
 The Company applies the following significant accounting policies regarding leases it enters into following the adoption of the lease guidance on January 1, 2019:
1.Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease: on the inception date of the lease, the Company determines whether the arrangement is a lease or contains a lease, while examining if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. 
2. The Company as a lessee:
a. Lease classification: at the commencement date, a lease is a finance lease if it meets any one of the criteria below; otherwise, the lease is an operating lease:
The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term;
The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise;
The lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset;
The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset;
The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of lease term.
b.Leased assets and lease liabilities - initial recognition: upon initial recognition, the Company recognizes a liability at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term, and concurrently recognizes a ROU asset at the
same amount of the liability, adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, plus initial direct costs incurred in respect of the lease. Since the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the incremental borrowing rate of the Company is used. The subsequent measurement depends on whether the lease is classified as a finance lease or an operating lease.
c.The lease term: the lease term is the non-cancellable period of the lease plus periods covered by an extension or termination option if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option.
d.Subsequent measurement of operating leases: after lease commencement, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments using the discount rate determined at lease commencement (as long as the discount rate has not been updated as a result of a reassessment event). The Company subsequently measures the ROU asset at the present value of the remaining lease payments, adjusted for the remaining balance of any lease incentives received, any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent if the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term and any unamortized initial direct costs. Further, the Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
e.Subsequent measurement of finance leases: after lease commencement, the Company measures the lease liability by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and reducing the carrying amount to reflect lease payments made during the period. The Company determines the interest on the lease liability in each period during the lease term as the amount that produces a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability, taking into consideration the reassessment requirements. After lease commencement, the Company measures the ROU assets at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses, taking into consideration the reassessment requirements. The Company amortizes the ROU asset on a straight-line basis, unless another systematic basis better represents the pattern in which the Company expects to consume the ROU asset’s future economic benefits. The ROU asset is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the ROU asset. The amortization period related to the finance lease transactions on fleet vehicles is 4-5 years. The total periodic expense (the sum of interest and amortization expense) of a finance lease is typically higher in the early periods and lower in the later periods.
f.Variable lease payments:
Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate: on the commencement date, the lease payments may include variability and depend on an index or a rate (such as the Consumer Price Index or a market interest rate). The Company does not remeasure the lease liability for changes in future lease payments arising from changes in an index or rate unless the lease liability is remeasured for another reason. Therefore, after initial recognition, such variable lease payments are recognized in profit or loss as they are incurred.
Other variable lease payments: variable payments that depend on performance or use of the underlying asset are not included in the lease payments. Such variable payments are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
 3. The Company as a lessor:
At lease commencement, the Company as a lessor classifies leases as either finance or operating leases. Finance leases are further classified as a sales-type lease or as a direct financing lease, however, the Company has no such leases as a lessor. Under an operating lease, the Company recognizes the lease payment as income over the lease term, generally as earned or on a straight-line basis.
Termination Fee
 Fees to terminate PPAs are recognized in the period incurred as selling and marketing expenses. No termination fees were incurred during 2024, 2023 and 2022.
 Warranty on Products Sold
 The Company generally provides a one to two year warranty against defects in workmanship and materials related to the sale of products for electricity generation. The Company considers the warranty to be an assurance type warranty since the warranty provides the customer the assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications. Estimated future warranty obligations are included in operating expenses in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. Such charges are immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
 Research and Development
 Research and development costs incurred by the Company for the development of technologies related to its existing and new geothermal and recovered energy power plants as well as its storage facilities are expensed as incurred.
 Stock-Based Compensation
 The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). The Company uses the Complex Lattice, Three-based Option Pricing model and the Monte Carlo Simulation to calculate the fair value of the stock-based compensation awards.
   Tax Monetization Transactions
 The Company has the following five tax monetization transactions: Tungsten, McGinness Hills 3, Steamboat Hills, CD4 and North Valley, as further described under Note 12 – Tax Monetization Transactions. The purpose of these transactions is to form tax partnerships, whereby investors provide cash in exchange for equity interests that provide the holder a right to the majority of tax benefits associated with a renewable energy project. The Company accounts for a portion of the proceeds from the transaction as debt under ASC 470. Given that a portion of these transactions is structured as a purchase of an equity interest the Company also classifies a portion as noncontrolling interest consistent with guidance in ASC 810. The portion recorded to noncontrolling interest is initially measured at the fair value of the discounted tax attributes and cash distributions which represents the partner's residual economic interest. The residual proceeds are recognized as the initial carrying value of the debt which is classified as a “Liability associated with the sale of tax benefits”. The Company applies the effective interest rate method to the liability associated with the tax monetization transaction component as described by ASC 835 and CON 7. The tax benefits and cash distributions realized by the partner each period are treated as the debt servicing amounts, with the tax benefit amounts giving rise to income attributable to the sale of tax benefits. The deferred transaction costs are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method.
Income Taxes
 Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on provisions of the enacted tax law. The Company accounts for investment tax credits and production tax credits (except for production tax credits which are sold under tax monetization transactions, as described above) as a reduction to income taxes in the year in which the credit arises. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are more likely than not expected to be realized. A valuation allowance has been established to offset the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets. Tax benefits from uncertain tax positions are recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Interest and penalties assessed by taxing authorities on an underpayment of income taxes are included as a component of income tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Earnings per Share
 Basic earnings per share attributable to the Company’s stockholders (“earnings per share”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, net of treasury shares. The Company does not have any equity instruments that are dilutive, except for stock-based awards and convertible senior notes.
 The table below shows the reconciliation of the number of shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
 
Year Ended December 31,
202420232022
(In thousands)
Weighted average number of shares used in computation of basic earnings per share
60,45559,42456,063
Add:
Additional shares from the assumed exercise of employee stock-based awards 335338440
Weighted average number of shares used in computation of diluted earnings per share
60,79059,76256,503
 The number of stock-based awards that could potentially dilute future earnings per share which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive was 38.5 thousand, 82.5 thousand, and 29.2 thousand, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
 As per ASU 2020-06, the if-converted method is required for calculating any potential dilutive effect from convertible instruments. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the average price of the Company's common stock did not exceed the per share conversion price of its convertible senior notes (the "Notes") of $90.27, and other requirements for the Notes to be
convertible were not met, and as such, there was no dilutive effect from the Notes in respect with the aforementioned periods. Further information on the Notes is detailed under Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements.
 Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
Redeemable noncontrolling interest is currently redeemable and relates to a certain noncontrolling shareholder in a subsidiary having an option to sell its equity interest to the Company. The carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest balance as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 approximates the redemption price of such interests. Changes in the carrying amount of the Company's Redeemable noncontrolling interest were as follows:
20242023
(Dollars in thousands)
Redeemable noncontrolling interest as of January 1, $10,599 $9,590 
Redeemable noncontrolling interest in results of operation of a consolidated subsidiary(319)939 
Cash paid to noncontrolling interest— (246)
Currency translation adjustments(832)316 
Redeemable noncontrolling interest as of December 31, $9,448 $10,599 
Cash Dividends
 During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared, approved, and authorized the payment of cash dividends in the aggregate amount of $29.1 million ($0.48 per share), $28.4 million ($0.48 per share), and $27.1 million ($0.48 per share), respectively. Such dividends were paid in the years declared.
Equity Offering
On March 14, 2023, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as the sole underwriter (the “Underwriter”), in connection with a public offering, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 3,600,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and the Underwriter agreed to purchase these shares at a price of $82.60 per share. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 540,000 shares of common stock at the same price per share, which was fully exercised by the Underwriters on April 3, 2023. The total net proceeds from the offering, including the option, were approximately $341.7 million, after deducting offering expenses.
Purchase of Treasury Stock
In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes as further described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company used approximately $18.0 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of these Convertible Senior Notes to repurchase 258,667 shares of its common stock in privately negotiated transactions at a price of $69.45 per share. The Company recorded this purchase of treasury stock as a reduction to its equity on the consolidated statements of equity in the second quarter of 2022.
ORPD Transaction
On July 11, 2023, ORPD LLC ("ORPD"), a subsidiary of the Company in which Northleaf Geothermal Holdings, LLC ("Northleaf") and the Company hold 36.75% and 63.25% equity interest, respectively, sold OREG 1, OREG 2, OREG 3 ("OREGs") and the Don A. Campbell complex to Ormat Nevada Inc. ("ONI"), a fully owned subsidiary of the Company. The proceeds from the sale were partially used by ORPD to make a distribution to its shareholders in which Northleaf's share was $30.0 million. Following this purchase transaction with the noncontrolling interest, the Company fully owns the OREGs and the Don A. Campbell complex and ORPD remains the holder of the Puna geothermal power plant. The Company accounted for this transaction as an equity transaction.
Short-term Commercial Paper
On October 19, 2023, the Company entered into a framework agreement for participation in the issuance of commercial paper (the "Commercial Paper Agreement") with Barak Capital Underwriting Ltd. under which the Company allowed the participants to submit proposals for purchasing and to purchase the Company's commercial paper ("Commercial Paper") in accordance with the provisions of the Commercial Paper Agreement. On October 23, 2023, the Company completed the issuance of the Commercial Paper in the aggregate amount of $73.2 million, and subsequently on December 11, 2023, the Company issued an additional amount of $26.8 million, under the same terms. The Commercial Paper was issued for a period of 90 days and extends automatically for additional 90 days periods for up to five years, unless the Company notifies the participants otherwise or a notice of termination is provided by the participants in accordance with the provisions of the Commercial Paper Agreement. The Commercial Paper bears an annual interest of three months SOFR +1.1% which will be paid at the end of each ninety days period. As of December 31, 2024, the base rate was 4.6%.
War in Israel
Starting October 7, 2023, Israel has been engaged in a complex multifront war, fighting against large-scale, repeated attacks on civilians from Iran, Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, militant terrorist groups in the West Bank and others. Although Israel has since agreed to ceasefires with each of Hamas and Hezbollah with respect to the conflicts in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, these conflicts could re-escalate if the ceasefires are violated. Iran, which has launched missiles directly at civilian targets in Israel twice during the current conflict, and other proxy forces and terrorist organizations have threatened to escalate the fighting throughout Israel, including targeting major infrastructure facilities. Additionally, the Houthis launched repeated attacks on marine vessels in the Red Sea, an important maritime route for international trade.
The majority of the Company's senior management and its main Product segment production and manufacturing facilities are located in Israel approximately 26 miles from the border with the Gaza Strip, and the Company receives supplies for and ship products for its Product segment via the Port of Ashdod, which is also close to the Gaza Strip and its coastline. While these disruptions have caused an increase in insurance premium costs for shipments into and out of the seaport, as of the date of these consolidated financial statements, none of the Company's facilities or infrastructure have been damaged nor have its supply chains been significantly impacted since the war broke out. However, a prolonged war could result in further military reserve duty call-ups as well as irregularities to the Company's supply chain and to its ability to ship its products from Israel, which could disrupt the operations of the Company's Product segment and potentially delay some of its growth plans in the Electricity segment. Management continuously monitors the effect of the war on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
Settlement Agreement
On August 1, 2024, the Company entered into a settlement agreement, effective April 2024, (the “Agreement”) with a third-party battery systems supplier (the “Supplier”). Under the Agreement, the Supplier paid to the Company $35.0 million as a recovery of damages, such as significant loss of potential profit due to project delays, as well as additional cost related to locating and purchasing substitute battery solutions from alternative vendors, incurred by the Company (the “Recovery of Damages”) to settle the dispute. On August 16, 2024, the Company received the Recovery of Damages payment contingent upon certain conditions which the Company expects to be met, on a pro-rata basis, during the period until March 31, 2026. The Company accounted for the Recovery of Damages amount under the guidance of ASC 450, Contingencies, and ASC 705, Cost of Sales and Services, and as a result, deemed $25.0 million as a recovery of damages, which will be recognized as income once contingency conditions are met, and $10.0 million as a reduction to the cost of battery systems to be purchased under the Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized income of $9.4 million under “Other operating income” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. This amount represents the non-refundable portion of the recovery of damages for which all contingency conditions have been met.
Heber 1 Power Plant Fire
The Company's Heber 1 geothermal power plant located in California experienced an outage following a fire on February 25, 2022 that caused damage primarily to the steam turbine-generator area. In mid-April, 2022 the Company gradually re-started operation of the binary units and in May 2023 the Heber 1 power plant successfully resumed operations. In 2022, the Company recognized $21.8 million of insurance recoveries in respect of the Heber 1 fire event, of which $8.0 million was attributable to property damage and thus recorded against the related receivable and offset the loss from the damaged equipment. The remainder of $13.8 million, was related to business interruption and thus recorded as income under electricity cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company received all insurance proceeds related to the Heber 1 fire event.
New Accounting Pronouncements
 New Accounting Pronouncements Effective in the Year Ended December 31, 2024
Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting–Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures (Topic 280)” to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this ASU (1) require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; (2) require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition; (3) require that a public entity provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods; (4) clarify that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures; and (5) require that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure or measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be
applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company applied the disclosure requirements of ASU 2023-07 on the effective date, and updated its disclosure under Note 17, Business Segments, to the consolidated financial statements to comply with the new disclosure guidance.
New Accounting Pronouncements Effective in Future Periods
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740)–Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments in this ASU require that public entities, on an annual basis, disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This ASU also requires that all entities disclose, on an annual basis, (1) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, (2) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid, (3) income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and (4) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this update and plans to implement these amendments in its 2025 consolidated annual financial statements.
 Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)” to improve the disclosure about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments in this ASU require disclosure of the following items in the notes to the financial statements at each interim and annual reporting date:
1.The amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contain any of the expense categories listed in (a) through (e).
2.A qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively.
3.The total amount of selling expenses recognized in continuing operations, and the entity’s definition of selling expenses.
The amendments of this ASU also require that an entity include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the ASU or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements.
Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04 “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)” to improve the relevance and consistency in application of induced conversion guidance. The amendments in this ASU clarify the assessment of whether a transaction should be accounted for as an induced conversion or extinguishment of convertible debt when changes are made to conversion features as part of an offer to settle the instrument.

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
Business Combination - Enel Purchase Transaction
On January 4, 2024, the Company closed a purchase transaction with Enel Green Power North America ("EGPNA"), a subsidiary of Enel SpA (ENEL.MI) to acquire a portfolio of assets which includes two contracted geothermal power plants, one triple hybrid power plant which consists of geothermal, solar PV, and solar thermal units, two stand-alone solar power plants, and two greenfield development assets, for a total cash consideration of $274.6 million (including customary post-closing working capital adjustment to the purchase price, based on the levels of net working capital of the acquired companies) for 100% of the equity interests in the entities holding those assets.
The geothermal power plants include the Cove Fort power plant located in Beaver County, Utah, which sells electricity under a long-term power purchase agreement (“PPA”) with Salt River Project, and the Salt Wells power plant located in Churchill County, Nevada, which sells electricity under a long-term PPA with NV Energy. The Stillwater triple hybrid geothermal, solar PV and solar thermal power plant is located in Churchill County, Nevada, and sells electricity to NV Energy under a PPA. The solar assets of Stillwater solar PV II in Churchill County, Nevada, and Woods Hill in Windham County, Connecticut, sell their electricity under PPAs, respectively.
As a result of the acquisition, the Company expanded its overall generation capacity and expects to improve the profitability of the purchased assets through cost reduction, synergies and development of the greenfield assets. The Company accounted for the transaction in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations, and following the transaction, the Company consolidates the power plants and all other assets included in the transaction in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation.
In the first quarter of 2024, and during 2023, the Company incurred $1.3 million, and $1.1 million of acquisition-related costs, respectively. Such costs are included under "General and administrative expenses" in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the respective periods. There were no such costs in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2024. Accounting guidance provides that the allocation of the purchase price may be adjusted for up to one year from the date of the acquisition to the extent that additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.
The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions):

(1) The gross amount of trade receivables was fully collected subsequent to acquisition date.
(2) The fair value of Property, plant and equipment was estimated by applying the income approach and utilizing the discounted cash flow method. This methodology assesses the value of tangible assets by computing the anticipated cash flows expected to be generated by the respective assets.
(3) Intangible assets are related to the long-term electricity PPAs described above and are amortized over the term of those PPAs. The fair value of the intangible assets was estimated by applying the income approach and utilizing the With and Without method.
(4) Goodwill is primarily related to the expected synergies, potential cost savings in operations as a result of the purchase transaction as well as potential future development of the greenfield assets. The goodwill is allocated to the Electricity segment and is deductible for tax purposes.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the acquired portfolio of assets contributed $33.3 million to the Company Electricity revenues, and $8.8 million to the Company's earnings which were included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for that period.
The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of the Company as if the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2023. The pro forma results below include the impact of certain adjustments related to the depreciation of property, plant and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, transaction-related costs, interest costs, and the related income tax effects. This pro forma presentation does not include any impact from transaction synergies or any other material, nonrecurring adjustments directly attributable to the business combination.

The Sarulla Complex
 The Company holds a 12.75% equity interest in a consortium that developed the 330 MW Sarulla geothermal power plant project in Tapanuli Utara, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The Sarulla project is comprised of three separately constructed 110 MW units. The Sarulla project is owned and operated by the consortium members under the framework of a joint operating contract and energy sales contract that were both executed on April 4, 2013. Under the joint operating contract, PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy, the concession holder for the project, provided the consortium with the right to use the geothermal field, and under the energy sales contract, PT PLN, the state electric utility, is the off-taker at the Sarulla complex for a period of 30 years. The Company has a significant influence over the Sarulla project through representation on Sarulla's board of directors, and thus accounts for its investment in the Sarulla geothermal project under the equity method prescribed by ASC 323 - Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures.
During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company made no cash equity investment in the Sarulla complex. As of December 31, 2024, total cash investment in the Sarulla complex since its inception is $62.0 million.
The Sarulla consortium entered into interest rate swap agreements with various international banks, effective as of June 4, 2014, and accounted for the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge upon which changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument, relative to the effective portion, are recorded in other comprehensive income. The Company’s share of such gains (losses) recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) are as follows:

 The related accumulated gain recorded by the Company under accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 and was $2.1 million, $1.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
In the second quarter of 2022, Sarulla agreed with its banks on a framework that will enable it to perform remediation works that are aimed to restore the power plants' performance. The first phase of the recovery plan included the drilling of an additional production well, which was successful, and certain modifications to surface equipment are still underway. Following the positive indications from the first phase, during the second quarter of 2024, Sarulla commenced discussions with the banks towards implementation of the additional phases. As the Company determined that the current situation and circumstances related to its equity method investment in Sarulla are temporary, no impairment testing was required at year-end.
The Ijen Project
On July 2, 2019, the Company acquired 49% of the Ijen geothermal project from a subsidiary of Medco Power (“Medco”), which is a party to a Power Purchase Agreement and holds a geothermal license to develop the Ijen project in East Java in Indonesia for a total consideration of approximately $2.7 million. As part of the transaction, the Company committed to make additional funding for the exploration and development of the project, subject to specific conditions. During 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company made additional cash investments of approximately $15.9 million, $6.1 million, and $4.5 million, respectively, and $64.6 million in total. Medco retains 51% ownership in the project company, and the Company and Medco are developing the project and will operate the power plant jointly. The Company accounted for its investment in the Ijen geothermal project company under the equity method prescribed by ASC 323 - Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Additionally, the Company signed a contract for supply of key equipment to the Ijen project. Refer to Note 18 - Transactions with Related Entities for additional information.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
 The Company’s overall methodology for evaluating transactions and relationships under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) accounting and disclosure requirements includes the following two steps: (i) determining whether the entity meets the criteria to qualify as a VIE; and (ii) determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE.
In performing the first step, the significant factors and judgments that the Company considers in making the determination as to whether an entity is a VIE include: (i) the design of the entity, including the nature of its risks and the purpose for which the entity was created, to determine the variability that the entity was designed to create and distribute to its interest holders; (ii) the nature of the Company’s involvement with the entity; (iii) whether control of the entity may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting equity; (iv) whether there is sufficient equity investment at risk to finance the activities of the entity; and (v) whether parties other than the equity holders have the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive residual returns.
If the Company identifies a VIE based on the above considerations, it then performs the second step and evaluates whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE by considering the following significant factors and judgments: (i) whether the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) whether the Company has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
 The Company’s VIEs include certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries that own one or more power plants with long-term PPAs. In most cases, the PPAs require the utility to purchase substantially all of the plant’s electrical output over a significant portion of its estimated useful life. Some of the VIEs have associated project financing debt that is non-recourse to the general creditors of the Company, is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the VIE and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries (also VIEs) and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by such subsidiaries. The Company has concluded that such entities are VIEs primarily because the entities do not have sufficient equity at risk and/or subordinated financial support is provided through the long-term PPAs. The Company has evaluated each of its VIEs to determine the primary beneficiary by considering the party that has the power to direct the most significant activities of the entity. Such activities include, among others, construction of the power plant, operations and maintenance, dispatch of electricity, financing and strategy. Except for power plants that it acquired, the Company is responsible for the construction of its power plants and generally provides operation and maintenance services. Primarily due to its involvement in these and other activities, the Company has concluded that it directs the most significant activities at each of its VIEs and, therefore, is considered the primary beneficiary. The Company performs an ongoing reassessment of the VIEs to determine the primary beneficiary for each. The Company has aggregated its consolidated VIEs into the following categories: (i) wholly owned subsidiaries with project debt; and (ii) wholly owned subsidiaries with PPAs.
The tables below detail the assets and liabilities (excluding intercompany balances which are eliminated in consolidation) for the Company’s VIEs, combined by VIE classifications, that were included in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 The fair value measurement guidance clarifies that fair value represents the amount that would be received upon selling an asset or paid upon transferring a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the fair value measurement guidance are described below:
 Level 1 — unadjusted observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; 
Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; 
Level 3 — unobservable inputs.
 The following table sets forth certain fair value information at December 31, 2024 and 2023 for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy, as well as cost or amortized cost. As required by the fair value measurement guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement.

A hypothetical change in the quoted bid price will result in a corresponding change in the estimated fair value of the Notes. The carrying value of the deposits, the short-term revolving credit lines with banks and the commercial paper approximate their fair value.
 In recent years, interest rate for both short-term and long-term debt have increased, and additional changes to the related interest rate may have a direct impact on the fair value of the Company's long-term debt.

 Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Brawley power plant has been generating electricity below its generating capacity of 13MW due to continuous wellfield issues which have resulted in higher-than-expected operating costs and lower-than-expected electricity revenues. The Company implemented a number of remediation plans and technical solutions involving additional investments in the power plant in order to improve its performance and reduce operating costs, however, during the fourth quarter of 2022, as a result of the failure of the recent remediation plan and the lower than forecasted performance of the power plant during that quarter, the Company decided that it was no longer economical to continue investing in the Brawley power plant as the probability of success of additional wellfield work to increase capacity and reduce operating costs is low. The Company concluded that the power plant can be operated at optimal capacity of 7MW or lower which will require lower investment and results in lower operating costs.
Based on the above circumstances and indicators, the Brawley power plant was tested for recoverability during the fourth quarter of 2022 by comparing the carrying amount of its assets to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets, the result of which was that the carrying amount of the asset was above the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows. The Company then estimated the fair value of those assets using the expected future discounted cash flow approach using Level 3 inputs under ASC 820, as a measure of fair value as it deemed it to be the most appropriate for the power plant. As a result of the impairment analysis, the Brawley power plant was written down to its fair value of $13.6 million and the Company recorded a non-cash impairment loss of $30.5 million which was presented in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) under “Impairment of long-lived-assets” for the year ended December 31, 2022. This write-down is allocated to the Electricity segment.
In estimating the fair value for the power plant, the Company utilized the discounted cash flow approach ("DCF") which is a form of the Income Approach. The DCF approach is based on the present value of the estimated cash flow expected to be generated by the Brawley power plant which is the asset group. The expected cash flow was discounted using a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the asset, as well as the time value of money. The determination of the Company and asset specific risk-adjusted discount rate is based on the weighted-average cost of capital ("WACC") taking into consideration the value of equity and interest-bearing debt. The Company applied a WACC rate of 9% in the estimation of the Brawley power plant. The Company noted that a 1% change to the WACC or long-term growth rates would not yield a significant change in the estimated fair value of the Brawley power plant. In addition to the WACC rate of 9%, other significant inputs of the future net cash flow estimates were generation capacity output, average realized price, and operating costs growth rate. These future net cash flow estimates are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Below are the significant unobservable inputs included in the valuation as of the year ended December 31, 2022.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL
 As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, intangible assets amounted to $301.7 million and $307.6 million, respectively, net of accumulated amortization of $177.7 million and $150.2 million, respectively. Intangible assets are mainly related to the Company’s PPAs acquired in business combination transactions, and to its energy storage activities.
The following table summarizes the information related to the Company's intangible assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $27.8 million, $26.8 million and $27.2 million, respectively.
In January 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of a portfolio of geothermal and solar assets from EGPNA which resulted in an increase of $23.6 million to intangible assets relating to long-term electricity PPAs, as further described under Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. There were no additions to intangible assets in 2023.

The Company tested the intangible assets for recoverability in December 2024, 2023 and 2022 and assessed whether there were events or change in circumstances which may indicate that the intangible assets are not recoverable. The Company's assessment resulted in that there were no write-offs of intangible assets in 2024, 2023 and 2022, except for an immaterial amount of $0.9 million related to specific storage customer related assets in 2022.
Estimated future amortization expense for the intangible assets as of December 31, 2024 is as follows:

The Idaho Refinancing note purchase agreement also includes an approximately $4.3 million revolving note tranche to be issued in the event of a shortfall in debt service with respect to the Idaho Refinancing Note. The Issuer shall pay a commitment fee on the revolving note tranche at a rate of 0.5% per annum. If drawn, the revolving notes shall bear interest at a rate of Term SOFR + 140bps.
The Idaho Refinancing is secured by the Issuer’s 100% ownership interests in Raft River Energy I LLC, which owns the Raft River geothermal project, and by the Issuer’s 60% ownership interests in Oregon USG Holdings, LLC, the owner of USG Oregon LLC, which owns the Neal Hot Springs geothermal project. The Idaho Refinancing Note will be repaid in 31 semi-annual payments, commencing on March 31st, 2023. The Idaho Refinancing Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.26% per annum and has a final maturity date of March 31, 2038. The Company has provided a limited guarantee with respect to certain insurance obligations of the Issuer.
There are various restrictive covenants under the Idaho Refinancing, including limitations on additional indebtedness of the Issuer and its subsidiaries. Failure to comply with these and other covenants will, subject to customary cure rights, constitute an event of default by the Issuer. In addition, there are restrictions on the ability of the Issuer to make distributions to its shareholders. Among other things, the distribution restrictions include both a historical and projected minimum debt service coverage ratio requirement. As of December 31, 2024, the covenants for this loan have been met.
As part of the security package, the note purchase agreement states the Issuer shall establish and maintain customary reserve accounts which include a debt service reserve account, a make-up well reserve account, a maintenance reserve account and a construction reserve account.

Convertible Senior Notes
 On June 22, 2022, the Company issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.5% convertible senior notes (the “Notes”, or the “Original Notes”) due 2027. Additionally, on July 15, 2024, the Company issued an additional 2.5% convertible senior notes (the “Additional Notes”) as further described below. The Original Notes were offered and sold in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to an indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. Additionally, the Company granted the initial purchasers an option to purchase up to an additional $56.25 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The initial purchasers executed their option on June 27, 2022, and by that, increased the total aggregated principal amount of the Notes issued to $431.25 million. The Notes bear annual interest of 2.5%, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2023. The Notes mature on July 15, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased and are the Company's senior unsecured obligations.
Holders of the Notes may convert all or any portion of their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 15, 2027 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2022 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $90.27 per share of common stock); (2) during the five consecutive business day period immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a holder or holders of the Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's Common Stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the Notes for redemption (the Company may not redeem the notes prior to July 21, 2025), at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day prior to the redemption date, but only with respect to the Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after January 15, 2027 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being converted.
The initial conversion rate was 11.0776 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $90.27 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain events. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption, it will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or notice of redemption, as the case may be. The Company may not redeem the notes prior to July 21, 2025. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after July 21, 2025 and on or before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, if the last reported sale price of its common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, but excluding the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. Additionally, if the Company undergoes a fundamental change (other than certain exempted fundamental changes), holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Company incurred approximately $11.6 million of costs in respect of the issuance of the Notes, which were deferred and are presented as a reduction to the Notes principal amounts on the consolidated balance sheets. The deferred issuance costs are amortized over the term of the Notes into interest expenses, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, $2.3 million, $2.3 million, and $1.1 million, respectively, were recorded as amortized issuance costs under interest expenses, net. The effective interest rate on the Notes, including the impact of the deferred debt issuance costs, is 3.1%.
Based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock on December 31, 2024, the if-converted value of the Notes was less than their aggregate principal amount.
Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the issuance of the Original Notes described above, the Company entered into capped call transactions (the "Capped Calls") with certain counterparties. The capped call transactions will cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of our common stock initially underlying the Notes of approximately 4.8 million shares of common stock and at an initial strike price of $90.27 per share. The Capped Calls are generally intended to reduce the potential dilution to the Company's Common Stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, in the event that at the time of conversion, the Common Stock price exceeds the conversion price. If, however, the market price per share of Common Stock exceeds the cap price of the Capped Calls, there would nevertheless be dilution or there would not be an offset of such potential cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the Capped Calls.
The Capped Calls exercise price is equal to the $90.27 initial conversion price of each of the Notes and the cap price of the Capped Calls is initially $107.63 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 55% above the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of the Notes offering and is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Capped Calls transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with the option counterparties, are not part of the terms of the Notes and will not change the holders’ rights under the Notes.
The Company paid approximately $24.5 million for the Capped Calls which was recorded as a reduction to Additional Paid-in Capital in the consolidated statements of equity in the second quarter of 2022, as such transactions qualify for the equity classification with no subsequent adjustment to fair value under ASU 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Capped Calls are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their impact is anti-dilutive. The Capped Calls transaction does not cover the Additional Notes described below.
Additional 2.50% Senior Convertible Notes
On July 15, 2024, the Company issued an additional $45.2 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Additional Notes”). The Additional Notes were issued as additional notes pursuant to the indenture, dated June 27, 2022, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated July 15, 2024, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Additional Notes constitute a further issuance of, and form a single series with, the $431.3 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 2.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 originally issued in June 2022 (the “Original Convertible Notes” and together with the Additional Notes, the “Notes”). The Additional Notes will have substantially identical terms to the Existing Convertible Notes, except that the Additional Notes have a different issuance date and will initially trade under a different restricted CUSIP number than the Existing Convertible Notes until such time as the Additional Notes are no longer required to bear restrictive legends under the Indenture and have an unrestricted CUSIP. The aggregated proceeds received from the issuance of the Additional Notes were $44.0 million, net of discount and fees of $1.1 million.
Prepayment of Series 3 Bonds
Additionally, in connection with the issuance of the Notes as described above, on June 27, 2022, the Company used approximately $221.9 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of these Notes to prepay its Series 3 Bonds that were set to mature in September 2022 in a single bullet payment. This amount included an aggregated principal amount of $218.0 million, $2.8 million of accrued interest and $1.1 million of make-whole premium which was recorded in the second quarter of 2022 under Other non-operating income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Financing Liability
The financing liability was assumed by the Company as part of the purchase transaction with TG Geothermal Portfolio, LLC (the “Seller”) in July 2021, under which it acquired a number of geothermal assets and a transmission line. The financing liability is related to a sale and leaseback transaction entered into by the Seller in September 2015 under which it sold and leased back the undivided interests in the Dixie Valley power plant asset through June 2038. The lease transaction was accounted for by the Seller as a finance lease due to the Seller's continued involvement and management of the power plant and the existence of an early buy-out option in September 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company decided to defer the buy-out payment to June 2038, as permitted under the lease transaction agreement, which resulted in an adjustment to the effective interest rate of the financing liability which increased from 2.55% to 6.12%, prospectively, and is being re-evaluated every quarter. The annual interest rate of the financing liability as of December 31, 2024, was 6.11%. As of December 31, 2024, the dividend distribution criteria related to the financing liability has not been met, which resulted in certain equity distribution restrictions from this related subsidiary. The amount restricted for distribution by this subsidiary was $1.4 million as of December 31, 2024. There were no restrictions on the retained earnings or net income of Ormat Technologies, Inc., as the parent company, in respect of this matter, as of December 31, 2024.

Following the later of the MGH3 Target Flip Date and the date on which the private investor reaches its target return, the Company will receive 97.5% of the distributable cash generated by the power plant and 95.0% of the tax attributes, on a go forward basis. In the event that the private investor will not reach its target return by the MGH3 Target Flip Date, then for the period between the MGH3 Target Flip Date and the date on which the private investor reaches its target return, the private investor will receive 100% of the distributable cash generated by the power plant and 99% of the tax attributes as long as the project is generating PTCs (and 5% of the tax attributes afterwards).
 On the MGH3 Target Flip Date, the Company, through one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, has the option to purchase the private investor’s interests at the then-current fair market value, plus an amount that causes the private investor to reach its target return, if needed. If the Company exercises this purchase option, it will become the sole owner of the project again.
Tungsten Mountain Tax Monetization Transaction  
 On May 17, 2018, one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries that indirectly owns the Tungsten Mountain geothermal power plant entered into a partnership agreement with a private investor. Under the transaction documents, the private investor acquired membership interests in the Tungsten Mountain geothermal power plant project for an initial purchase price of approximately $33.4 million and for which it will pay additional installments that are expected to amount to $13.0 million. The Company continues to operate and maintain the power plant and will receive substantially all the distributable cash flow generated by the power plant, as described below.
 Under the transaction documents, prior to December 31, 2026 (“Tungsten Mountain Target Flip Date”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Ormat Nevada, receives substantially all of the distributable cash flow generated by the project, while the private investor receives substantially all of the tax attributes of the project. Following the later of the Tungsten Mountain Target Flip Date and the date on which the private investor reaches its target return, Ormat Nevada will receive 97.5% of the distributable cash and 95.0% of the taxable income, on a go forward basis. In the event that the private investor will not reach its target return by the Tungsten Mountain Target Flip Date, then for the period between the Tungsten Mountain Target Flip Date and the date on which the private investor reaches its target return, the private investor will receive 100% of the distributable cash generated by the power plant and 99% of the tax attributes as long as the project is generating PTCs (and 5% of the tax attributes afterwards).
On the Tungsten Mountain Target Flip Date, Ormat Nevada has the option to purchase the private investor’s interests at the then-current fair market value, plus an amount that causes the private investor to reach its target return, if needed. If Ormat Nevada exercises this purchase option, it will become the sole owner of the project again.
Opal Geo Tax Monetization Buyout
On July 31, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with the third-party investor in Opal Geo, LLC (“Opal Geo”), a wholly-owned limited liability company formed solely for purpose of monetization of federal production tax credits and certain other tax benefits, to purchase 100% of the Class B membership interests in Opal Geo for a total of $9.8 million. As a result, the Company became the sole owner and beneficiary of all the economic benefits in Opal Geo, and continued to consolidate Opal Geo in its consolidated financial statements. The purchase of the Class B membership interest in Opal Geo was recorded as an equity transaction resulting in a reduction to the remaining balance of the related liability associated with sale of tax benefits, and the related noncontrolling interest of $1.7 million. The surplus of $0.5 million was charged to additional paid-in capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets..
Transferable Production and Investment Tax Credits
Under the current IRA provision that includes a transferability provision for certain tax credits related to the clean production of energy, a reporting entity can monetize such credits through sale to a third-party. The option for transferability of credits applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022. Several of the Company’s projects, which are not currently part of a tax monetization transaction, generate eligible tax credits, such as investment tax credits (“ITCs”) and PTCs, that are eligible to be transferred to a third-party under the existing provisions of the IRA. The Company accounts for ITCs under ASC 740 through the “Income tax (provision) benefit” line in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. PTCs are accounted similarly to refundable or direct-pay credits outside of the “Income tax (provision) benefit” line with income recognized in the “Income attributable to sale of tax benefits” line in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Income recognized related to the expected sale of such transferable PTCs during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, was $23.4 million, and $10.8 million, net of discount, respectively. Tax benefits recognized under Income tax (provision) benefit related to transferable ITCs during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, were $47.7 million and $18.7 million, net of discount, respectively.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 The Company makes an estimate of expected forfeitures and recognizes compensation costs only for those stock-based awards expected to vest. As of December 31, 2024, the total future compensation cost related to unvested stock-based awards that are expected to vest is $14.8 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.18 years.
 During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded compensation related to stock-based awards as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
202420232022
(Dollars in thousands)

Cost of revenues $9,169 $6,899 $6,382

Tax effect on stock-based compensation expense 1,998 1,598 1,270 
Net effect of stock-based compensation expense $18,199 $13,881 $10,376 
 During the fourth quarter of 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company evaluated the trends of the employees stock-based award forfeiture rate and determined that the actual rates are 10.9%, 11.6% and 11.5%, respectively. This represents an increase (decrease) of (6.0)%, 0.9%, and 3.6%, respectively, from prior estimates. As a result of the change in the estimated forfeiture rate, there was an immaterial impact on stock-based compensation expense for each of the respective periods.
Valuation Assumptions
The Company estimates the fair value of the stock-based awards using the Complex Lattice, Tree-based option-pricing model. The dividend yield forecast is expected to be at least 20% of the Company’s yearly net profit, which is equivalent to a 0.7% yearly weighted average dividend rate in the year ended December 31, 2024. The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield from U.S. constant treasury maturities bonds with an equivalent term. The forfeiture rate is based on trends in actual stock-based awards forfeitures.
 The Company calculated the fair value of each stock-based award on the date of grant based on the following assumptions:
Year Ended December 31,
202420232022
For stock based awards issued by the Company:
Risk-free interest rates 4.5 %4.2 %1.7 %

Dividend yield 0.7 %0.6 %0.7 %
Expected volatility (weighted average) 31.9 %38.2 %34.6 %
The Company estimated the forfeiture rate (on a weighted average basis) as follows:

Stock-based Awards
The 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan
 In May 2012, the Company’s shareholders adopted the 2012 Incentive Plan, which provides for the grant of the following types of awards: incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), stock appreciation rights ("SARs”), stock units, performance awards, phantom stock, incentive bonuses, and other possible related dividend equivalents to employees of the Company, directors and independent contractors. Under the 2012 Incentive Plan, a total of 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance, all of which could be issued as options or as other forms of awards. Options and SARs granted to employees under the 2012 Incentive Plan typically vest and become exercisable as follows: 50% on the two years anniversary of the grant date and 25% on each of the three years and four years anniversaries of the grant date. Options granted to non-employee directors under the 2012 Incentive Plan will vest and become exercisable one year after the grant date. Restricted stock units granted to directors and members of senior management vest according to a vesting schedule as follows: for the directors, 100% on the one year anniversary of the grant date and for members of senior management, 25% on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date.  The term of stock-based awards typically ranges from six to ten years from the grant date. The shares of common stock issued in respect of awards under the 2012 Incentive Plan were issued from the Company’s authorized share capital upon exercise of options or SARs. The 2012 Incentive Plan expired in May 2018 upon adoption of
the 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan (“2018 Incentive Plan”), and as of December 31, 2024, no stock-based awards were outstanding under the 2012 Incentive Plan.
 The 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan
 In May 2018, the Company held its 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders at which the Company's stockholders approved the 2018 Incentive Plan. The 2018 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of the following types of awards: incentive stock options, RSUs, SARs, Performance Stock Units (“PSUs), stock units, performance awards, phantom stock, incentive bonuses and other possible related dividend equivalents to employees of the Company, directors and independent contractors. Under the 2018 Incentive Plan, a total of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were authorized and reserved for issuance, all of which could be issued as options or as other forms of awards. SARs, RSUs and PSUs granted to employees under the 2018 Incentive Plan typically vest and become exercisable as follows: 50% on the second anniversary of the grant date, and 25% on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, or, 33.3% on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. SARs, RSUs and PSUs granted to directors under the 2018 Incentive Plan typically vest and become exercisable (100%) on the first anniversary of the grant date. The term of stock-based awards typically ranges from six to ten years from the grant date. The shares of common stock issued in respect of awards under the 2018 Incentive Plan are issued from the Company’s authorized share capital upon exercise of options or SARs. In June 2022, the 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan was amended and restated to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance by 1,700,000 shares, to change the fungible ratio, and to implement a one year mandatory minimum vesting period.
 As of December 31, 2024, 2,714,080 shares of the Company’s common stock are available for future grants under the 2018 Incentive Plan.
In March 2024, the Company granted certain members of its management and employees an aggregate of 209,563 RSUs and 61,197 PSUs under the Company’s 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan. The RSUs and PSUs have vesting periods of between 1 to 3 years from the grant date.
The fair value of each RSU and PSU on the grant date was $64.9 and $64.0, respectively. The Company calculated the fair value of each RSU and PSU on the grant date using the complex lattice, tree-based option-pricing model, and the Monte Carlo simulation, based on the following assumptions:

The Company has recorded deferred tax assets for net operating losses, foreign tax credits, and production tax credits.  Realization of the deferred tax assets and tax credits is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in appropriate jurisdictions prior to expiration of the NOL carryforwards and tax credits. Based upon available evidence of the Company’s ability to generate additional taxable income in the future and historical losses in prior years, a valuation allowance in the amount of $2.7 million and $2.9 million is recorded against the U.S. deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The overall decrease in the valuation allowance of $0.2 million is due to the ability to utilize attributes that previously have been fully valued. The Company is maintaining a valuation allowance of $2.7 million against a portion of its state NOLs and capital loss carryforward that are expected to expire before they can be utilized in future periods.
  On April 24, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of stock of USG for approximately $110 million. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company recorded a net deferred tax asset of $1.7 million comprised primarily of federal and state NOLs netted against deferred tax liabilities for partnership basis differences and fixed assets. The total amount of acquired federal and state NOLs, which are subject to limitations under Section 382, were $113.9 million and $49.9 million, respectively.  A valuation allowance of $1.8 million has been recorded against such acquired state NOLs, as it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The FASB released guidance Staff Q&A, Topic 740, No. 5, that states a company can make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes related to GILTI or to provide for the GILTI tax expense in the year the tax is incurred as a period cost.  The Company has elected to treat any GILTI inclusions as a period cost. We have elected and applied the tax law ordering approach when considering GILTI as part of our valuation allowance.
 The Company uses the flow-through method to account for investment tax credit earned on eligible battery storage projects. Under this method, the investment tax credits are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense in the year they are earned rather than a reduction in the asset basis.
The following table presents the deferred taxes on the balance sheet as of the dates indicated:

 At December 31, 2024, the Company is no longer indefinitely reinvested with respect to the earnings of its foreign subsidiaries due to forecasted changes in cash needs and the impact of U.S. tax reform. The Company has accrued withholding taxes that would be owed upon future distributions of such earnings. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2024, the Company has accrued $15.0 million of foreign withholding taxes on future distributions of foreign earnings.
Uncertain Tax Positions
 The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States (federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company's tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company establishes reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which additional taxes will be due. These reserves are established when the Company believes that certain positions might be challenged despite evidence supporting the position. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of tax audits. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve positions and changes to reserves that are considered probable.
 At December 31, 2024 and 2023, there are $6.3 million and $8.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively, that if recognized would reduce the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties assessed by taxing authorities on an underpayment of income taxes are included as a component of income tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
 A reconciliation of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
Year Ended December 31,

  The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries file consolidated income tax returns for federal and state (where applicable) purposes. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has not been subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations.
The Company remains open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the years 2006-2023 and by local state jurisdictions for the years 2010-2023. These examinations may lead to ordinary course adjustments or proposed adjustments to the Company's taxes or the Company's net operating losses with respect to years under examination as well as subsequent periods.
 The Company’s foreign subsidiaries remain open to examination by the local income tax authorities in the following countries for the years indicated:

 Management believes that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits is adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including among others, past experience and interpretations of local income tax regulations.
This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of complex judgments about future events. As a result, it is possible that federal, state and foreign tax examinations will result in assessments in future periods. To the extent any such assessments occur, the Company will adjust its liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that will be reduced within the next twelve months.
 Tax Benefits in the United States
 On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law in the United States. The Company believes that the construction and operations of its geothermal power plants, recovered energy-based power plants, battery energy storage systems and solar PV will benefit in the future from the IRA and enhance the economic feasibility of projects in the United States. PTCs can be generated from 3.00 cents per kWh, once the Wages & Apprenticeship rules are met, and if bonus credit requirements are met the credit could rise up to 3.63 cents per kWh. ITCs can be earned on investments from 30.0%, once the Wages & Apprenticeship rules are met, and if bonus credit requirements are met the credit could rise up to 50.0%. Battery Energy Storage Systems are eligible for ITC for projects placed-in-service after December 31, 2022. In addition, the Company can now monetize PTCs and ITCs earned by transferring the credits to a third-party without having to enter into a tax equity transaction.
  Income Taxes Related to Foreign Operations
 Guadeloupe - The Company’s operations in Guadeloupe are taxed at a maximum rate of 26.5% in 2021, and 25% in 2022 and beyond.
Guatemala — The enacted tax rate is 25%. Orzunil, a wholly owned subsidiary, was granted a benefit under a law which promotes development of renewable power sources. The law allows Orzunil to reduce the investment made in its geothermal power plant from income tax payable, which currently reduces the effective tax rate to zero. Ortitlan pays income tax of 7% on its Electricity revenues.
 Honduras - The Company’s operations in Honduras are exempt from income taxes for the first ten years starting at the commercial operation date of the power plant, which was in September 2017.
Israel — The Company’s operations in Israel through its wholly owned Israeli subsidiary, Ormat Systems Ltd. (“Ormat Systems”), are taxed at a reduced corporate tax rate under the “Benefited Enterprise” tax regime of the Encouragement of Capital Investments Law, 1959 (the “Investment Law”), with respect to two of its investment programs. In January 2011, new legislation amending the Investment Law by adding, inter alia, the Preferred Enterprise Regime was enacted. Under the Preferred Enterprise Regime, a uniform reduced corporate tax rate would apply to all qualified income of certain industrial companies, as opposed to the Investment Law incentives that are limited to income from a “Benefited Enterprise” during their benefits period. According to the amendment, the uniform tax rate applicable to the zone where the production facilities of Ormat Systems are located is 16% for qualifying income.
Kenya - In June 2023, the President of Kenya signed into law the 2023 Finance Act ("Finance Act"). The Finance Act, among several other changes, reduced the statutory corporate income tax rate for Branches from 37.5% to 30%, introduced a Branch Profits tax based on the change in Net Assets and limits interest deductions to 30% of EBITDA. The Finance Act also reduced the corporate tax rate on Branches from 37.5% to 30.0%. The Company implemented this change and recorded an associated benefit during 2023.
Tax Investigation in Kenya
On April 23, 2024, the Company's branch in Kenya received a Letter of Preliminary Investigation Findings (the “Letter”) from the Kenya Revenue Authority (“KRA”) relating to tax years 2017 to 2022. The Letter set forth a demand for approximately $79.0 million before any potential interest and penalties. On July 8, 2024, the KRA informed the Company that its investigation was concluded and closed and that the initial demand for $79.0 million would be reduced to zero, and as a result, no additional taxes, interest or penalties would be due.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
BUSINESS SEGMENTS BUSINESS SEGMENTS
 The Company has three reporting segments: the Electricity segment, the Product segment and the Energy Storage segment. These segments are managed and reported separately as each offers different products and serves different markets.
Under the Electricity segment, the Company builds, owns and operates geothermal, solar PV and recovered energy-based power plants in the United States, and geothermal power plants in foreign countries, and sells the electricity generated by those power plants.
Under the Product segment, the Company designs, manufactures and sells equipment for geothermal and recovered energy-based electricity generation and provide services relating to the engineering, procurement and construction of geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants.
Under the Energy Storage segment, the Company provides battery energy storage systems as a service as well as related services. 
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described under Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Transfer prices between the segments were determined on current market values or cost plus markup of the seller’s segment. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is comprised of its CEO and CFO. To evaluate segment performance and allocate the Company’s resources, the CODM uses segment measures of gross profit and operating income. The CODM reviews budget-to-actual variances of both profit measures on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocation of the Company’s resources to the segments.
 Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following tables, including, as further described under Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's disaggregated revenues from contracts with customers as required by ASC 606. Total consolidated revenues, gross profit (loss) and operating income (loss) of our business segments exclude intersegment revenues, gross profit (loss) and operating income (loss) as these activities are eliminated in consolidation and are not included in CODM’s evaluation of performance of each segment.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]  
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
 401(k) Plan
 The Company has a 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) for the benefit of its U.S. employees. Employees of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries who have completed 60 days of employment are eligible to participate in the Plan. Contributions are made by employees through pre- and post-tax deductions up to 60% of their annual salary, subject to the maximum amount permitted by law. In 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company matched employee contributions, after completion of one year of service, up to a maximum of 6%, 6% and 5% of the employee’s annual salary, respectively. The Company’s contributions to the Plan were $4.3 million, $3.9 million and $2.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
 Severance Plan
 The Company, through Ormat Systems, provides limited non-pension benefits to all current employees in Israel who are entitled to benefits in the event of termination or retirement in accordance with the Israeli Government sponsored programs. These plans generally obligate the Company to pay one month’s salary per year of service to employees in the event of involuntary termination. There is no limit on the number of years of service in the calculation of the benefit obligation. The liabilities for these plans are recorded at each balance sheet date by determining the undiscounted obligation as if it were payable at that point in time. Such liabilities have been presented in the consolidated balance sheets as “liabilities for severance pay”. The Company has an obligation to partially fund the liabilities through regular deposits in pension funds and severance pay funds. The amounts funded are $5.9 million and $6.5 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and have been presented in the consolidated balance sheets as part of “Deposits and other”. The severance pay liability covered by the pension funds is not reflected in the financial statements as the severance pay risks have been irrevocably transferred to the pension funds. Under the Israeli severance pay law, restricted funds may not be withdrawn or pledged until the respective severance pay obligations have been met. As allowed under the program, earnings from the investment are used to offset severance pay costs. Severance pay expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were $2.9 million, $2.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively, which are net of income (loss) amounting to $0.4 million, $(0.2) million, and $(1.0) million, respectively, generated from the regular deposits and amounts accrued in severance funds.
The Company expects to pay the following future benefits to its employees upon their reaching normal retirement age, not including amounts already funded into the severance funds to-date:

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 Geothermal Resources
 The Company, through its project subsidiaries in the United States and other foreign locations, controls certain rights to geothermal fluids through certain leases with the BLM or through private leases. Royalties on the utilization of the geothermal resources are computed and paid to the lessors as defined in the respective agreements. Royalty expense under
the geothermal resource agreements were $32.1 million, $30.9 million and $30.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
 Letters of Credit
 In the ordinary course of business with customers, vendors, and lenders, the Company is contingently liable for performance under letters of credit totaling $286.6 million at December 31, 2024. Management does not expect any material losses to result from these letters of credit because performance is not expected to be required.
 Purchase Commitments
 The Company purchases raw materials for inventories, construction-in-process and services from a variety of vendors. During the normal course of business, in order to manage manufacturing lead times and help assure adequate supply, the Company enters into agreements with contract manufacturers and suppliers that either allow them to procure goods and services based upon specifications defined by the Company, or that establish parameters defining the Company’s requirements. At December 31, 2024, total obligations related to such supplier agreements were approximately $408.2 million (out of which approximately $233.2 million relate to construction-in-process). All such obligations are payable in 2025.
 Grants and Royalties
 The Company, through Ormat Systems, had historically, through December 31, 2003, requested and received grants for research and development from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Government. Ormat Systems is required to pay royalties to the Israeli Government at a rate of 3.5% to 5.0% of the revenues derived from products and services developed using these grants. No royalties were paid for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The Company is not liable for royalties if the Company does not sell such products and services. Such royalties are capped at the amount of the grants received plus interest of 5.9%. The cap at December 31, 2024 and 2023, amounted to $2.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of which approximately $1.6 million and $1.5 million, represents the interest portion, as defined above, for 2024 and 2023, respectively.
 Lease Commitments
The Company's lease commitments are detailed under Note 21, Leases to the consolidated financial statements.
  Contingencies
On July 29, 2024, a former employee filed a class action against the Company in Imperial County, California alleging violations of the California Labor Code, to act in a representative capacity for other Ormat employees in California alleging violations of California wage and hour regulations. The complaint was amended on September 12, 2024 to add companion Private Attorneys General Act claims. The complaint seeks recovery of various damages as well as equitable relief. The Company has filed an answer denying the material allegations of the complaint, and has removed the matter from state to federal court. The parties have filed a joint motion to stay the litigation pending mediation. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims. No amounts have been accrued for potential losses under this matter, as the probability of the claimant receiving a material award is low. Additionally, the Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the proceedings, which is inherently uncertain and may depend, among other things, on the size of the class to the extent it is certified.
On February 7, 2025, Engie Resources, LLC and certain of its affiliates filed an action against the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The complaint alleges that the Company breached its contractual obligations, including certain indemnity obligations, under certain service agreements with or involving the plaintiffs, by failing to properly schedule responsive reserve service on behalf of the plaintiffs during the power crisis in Texas in February 2021. The complaint seeks recovery from the Company of $47.5 million in damages, as well as equitable relief. The Company considers it has strong legal defenses and intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims and take all necessary legal action to have them dismissed. No amounts have been accrued for potential losses under this matter, as the probability of the claimant receiving a material award is low. Due to the early stage of the matter, the Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the proceedings, which is inherently uncertain.
Additionally, from time to time, the Company is named as a party to other various lawsuits, claims and other legal and regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of the Company's business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, the Company accrues reserves when a loss is probable, and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. It is the opinion of the Company’s management that the outcome of these proceedings, individually and collectively, will not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a whole.
In Kenya, since 2021, various task forces have been appointed by the President and/or the Senate to review and analyze PPAs entered into between KPLC and various independent power producers (including our long-term PPA for the Olkaria complex), with the recommendation that KPLC review its contracts and attempt renegotiation with these independent power producers to reduce PPA tariffs within existing contractual arrangements. The Company has been approached by certain of these task forces and has participated in requested discussions with them, which remain ongoing.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
We prioritize the management of cybersecurity risk and the protection of information across our enterprise by embedding data protection and cybersecurity risk management in our operations. Our processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats have been integrated into our overall risk management system and processes.
As a foundation of this approach, our privacy and security policies govern our business lines and subsidiaries. We monitor the privacy and security regulations applicable to us in the regions where we do business as well as proposed privacy and security regulations and emerging risks.
We conduct internal and external penetration testing and risk assessments on a regular basis, and have engaged consultants, auditors and other relevant third parties to assist us with cybersecurity risk management processes. Our operations rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other information in our computer systems and networks. Computer viruses, hackers, and employee or vendor misconduct, and other external hazards could expose our data systems and those of our vendors to security breaches, cybersecurity incidents or other disruptions, any of which could materially and adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. While we have experienced cybersecurity
incidents, to date, we are not aware that we have experienced a material cybersecurity incident.The sophistication of cybersecurity threats continues to increase, and the controls and preventative actions we take to reduce the risk of cybersecurity incidents and protect our systems, including the regular testing of our cybersecurity incident response plan, may be insufficient. In addition, new technology that could result in greater operational efficiency may further expose our computer systems to the risk of cybersecurity incidents. We may also maintain cyber liability insurance that covers certain damages caused by cybersecurity incidents. However, there is no guarantee that adequate insurance will continue to be available at rates that we believe are reasonable or that the costs of responding to and recovering from a cybersecurity incident will be covered by insurance or recoverable in rates.
For more information, see Part I of this Annual Report, Item 1A “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Company’s Business and Operation—A cyber-incident, cyber security breach, severe natural event or physical attack on our operational networks and information technology systems could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.”

As part of our overall risk management approach, we prioritize the management of cybersecurity risk at several levels, including Board oversight, executive commitment and employee training. Our Audit Committee, comprised fully of independent directors from our Board, oversees the Board’s responsibilities relating to cybersecurity risks. Each of our Audit Committee and Board is informed of such risks through reports from our Chief Information Officer (“CIO”) at least twice per year.
Our Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”), who has been a chief information security officer at Ormat for seven years, is certified by the International Information System Security Certification Consortium as an Information Systems Security Management Professional (“ISSMP”), as an Information Systems Security Architecture Professional (“ISSAP”), and as a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (“CISSP”). Our CISO oversees compliance of our information security (“IS”) standards and mitigation of IS risks. We also have the following internal bodies to support our processes to assess and manage cybersecurity risk as follows:
The Crisis Incident Management Team, which includes members of the executive management team, the CIO, CISO, and other senior executives across the Company, is alerted as appropriate to cybersecurity incidents, as well as other crises, such as natural disasters and outages. This team also periodically oversees tabletop drills on various cybersecurity incidents.
The Cyber Risk Disclosure Committee brings together senior management, including the CEO, CFO, General Counsel and other relevant functions to review the materiality of cyber incidents for disclosure purposes. The Cyber Risk Disclosure Committee members are also part of the Crisis Incident Management team.
The IT leadership team, led by our Chief Information Officer, oversees IT initiatives while considering cybersecurity risk mitigation with respect to these initiatives. The team provides periodic presentations to senior management and the Board on cybersecurity risk and mitigation.
The VP of Technical and Maintenance chairs monthly cybersecurity meetings to review cyber risks or threats related to the operations of our geothermal projects.
At the level of the general employee population, we hold trainings on privacy and information security, records and information management, and information security regulatory compliance, conduct phishing tests and generally seek to promote awareness of cybersecurity risk through broad communication and educational initiatives, depending on the employee’s level, role and exposure to sensitive systems and the associated cybersecurity risk profile. We also contract with an external vendor to monitor alerts in real time on cybersecurity incidents.
With respect to third party service providers, we obligate our vendors to adhere to privacy and cybersecurity measures. We also restrict vendors’ access to our organizational systems through a segmented and controlled environment which is monitored by us, and perform detailed and customized risk assessments of certain vendors, including their ability to protect data from unauthorized access.
Cybersecurity Risk Board Committee or Subcommittee Responsible for Oversight [Text Block] Our Audit Committee, comprised fully of independent directors from our Board, oversees the Board’s responsibilities relating to cybersecurity risks.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Business Business The Company is primarily engaged in the geothermal and recovered energy business and primarily designs, develops, builds, sells, owns and operates clean, environmentally friendly geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants, usually using equipment that it designs and manufactures. The Company owns and operates geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants in various countries, including the United States, Kenya, Guatemala, Guadeloupe and Honduras. The Company’s equipment manufacturing operations are primarily located in Israel. Additionally, the Company owns and operates independent storage facilities in the United States providing energy storage and related services. Most of the Company’s domestic power plant facilities are Qualifying Facilities under the PURPA. The Power Purchase Agreements (“PPAs”) for certain of such facilities are dependent upon their maintaining Qualifying Facility status.
Rounding Rounding
 Dollar amounts, except per share data, in the notes to these financial statements are rounded to the closest $1,000, unless otherwise indicated.
Basis of Presentation Basis of Presentation
 The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and of all majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company exercises control over operating and financial policies, and variable interest entities in which the Company has an interest and is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 Investments in less-than-majority-owned entities or other entities in which the Company exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method of accounting or consolidated if they are a variable interest entity in which the Company has an interest and is the primary beneficiary. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by the Company’s share of undistributed earnings or losses of such companies. The Company’s earnings or losses in investments accounted for under the equity method have been reflected as “equity in earnings (losses) of investees, net” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Use of estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements Use of estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of such financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates with regard to the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, including intangible assets, revenue recognition of product sales using the percentage of completion method, asset retirement obligations, and the provision for income taxes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 The Company considers all highly liquid instruments, with an original maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
 Under the terms of certain long-term debt agreements, the Company is required to maintain certain debt service reserves, including principal and interest, cash collateral and operating fund accounts, including for future wells drilling, which have been classified as restricted cash and cash equivalents. Funds that will be used to satisfy obligations due during the next 12 months are classified as current restricted cash and cash equivalents, with the remainder classified as non-current restricted cash and cash equivalents, if applicable. Such amounts are invested primarily in money market accounts and commercial paper with a minimum investment grade of “A”.
Reconciliation of Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, accounts receivable related to operations in foreign countries amounted to approximately $105.2 million and $152.2 million, respectively. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, accounts receivable from the Company’s major customers (see Note 17) amounted to approximately 57% and 57%, respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivable. The aggregate amount of notes receivable exceeding 10% of total receivables for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is $99.7 million and $161.0 million, respectively.
 The Company has historically been able to collect substantially all of its receivable balances. As of December 31, 2024, the amount overdue from KPLC in Kenya was $38.3 million of which $20.0 million was paid in January and February of 2025. The Company believes it will be able to collect all past due amounts in Kenya. This belief is supported by the fact that in addition to KPLC's obligations under its power purchase agreement, the Company holds a support letter from the Government of Kenya that covers certain cases of KPLC non-payment (such as non-payments that are caused by government actions and/or political events).
In Honduras, as of December 31, 2024, the total amount overdue from ENEE was $16.2 million of which $2.5 million was collected in January and February of 2025. In addition, due to the financial situation in Honduras, the Company may experience additional delays in collection. The Company believes it will be able to collect all past due amounts in Honduras.
Additionally, the Company considers the counterparty credit risk related to the cross-currency and interest rate swap transactions, as further described in note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, when assessing the hedge effectiveness, noting such risk to be low as of December 31, 2024.
Inventories Inventories
 Inventories consist primarily of raw material parts and sub-assemblies for power units and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the weighted-average cost method. Inventories are reduced by a provision for slow-moving and obsolete inventories. This provision was not material at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Deposits and Other Deposits and Other
 Deposits and other consist primarily of performance bonds for construction and storage projects, long-term insurance contract funds and receivables, certain deferred costs, and long-term costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts related to the Dominica project.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
 Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, (except when acquired as part of a business combination, as further described under Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements), net of accumulated depreciation. All costs associated with the acquisition, development and construction of power plants operated by the Company are capitalized. Major improvements are capitalized and repairs and maintenance (including major maintenance) costs are expensed. Power plants operated by the Company, which include geothermal wells and exploration and resource development costs, are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 15 to 30 years. The other assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:
 
Years
Buildings 25
Leasehold improvements 15-30
Machinery and equipment — manufacturing and drilling 5-10
Machinery and equipment — computers 3-5
Energy storage equipment 15-20
Solar facility equipment30
Office equipment — furniture and fixtures 5-15
Office equipment — other5-10
Vehicles 5-7
 The cost and accumulated depreciation of items sold or retired are removed from the accounts. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized currently and recorded in the accompanying statements of operations.
 The Company capitalizes interest costs as part of constructing power plant facilities. Such capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset to which it relates and is amortized over the asset’s estimated useful life. Capitalized interest costs amounted to $14.7 million, $17.3 million, and $18.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge, primarily related to its Brawley power plant as further detailed below under the caption “Impairment of long-lived assets”.
Exploration and Development Costs
Exploration and Development Costs
 The Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with the exploration and development of geothermal resources once it acquires land rights to the potential geothermal resource. Prior to acquiring land rights, the Company makes an initial assessment that an economically feasible geothermal reservoir is probable on that land. The Company determines the economic feasibility of potential geothermal resources internally, with all available data and external assessments vetted through the exploration department and occasionally using outside service providers. Costs associated with the initial assessment are expensed and included in cost of electricity revenues in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Such costs were immaterial during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. It normally takes two to three years from the time active exploration of a particular geothermal resource begins to the time a production well is in operation, assuming the resource is commercially viable. However, in certain sites the process may take longer due to permitting delays, transmission constraints or any other commercial milestones that are required to be reached in order to pursue the development process.
 In most cases, the Company obtains the right to conduct the geothermal development and operations on land owned by the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"), various states or with private parties. The land lease payments made during the exploration, development and construction phase are accounted under lease accounting as further described under the caption Leases below and reflected as expenses under “Electricity cost of revenues” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Upon commencement of power generation on the leased land, the Company begins to pay the lessor’s long-term royalty payments based on the utilization of the geothermal resources as defined in the respective agreements. Such payments are expensed when the related revenues are earned and included in “Electricity cost of revenues” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
   Following the acquisition of land rights to the potential geothermal resource, the Company conducts further studies and surveys, including water and soil analyses, among others, and augments its database with the results of these studies. The Company then initiates a suite of geophysical surveys to assess the resource and determine drilling locations. If the results of these activities support the initial assessment of the feasibility of the geothermal resource, the Company then proceeds to exploratory drilling and other related activities which may include drilling of temperature gradient holes, drilling of slim holes, building access roads to drilling locations, drilling full size production and/or injection wells and flow tests. If the slim hole supports a conclusion that the geothermal resource will support a commercially viable power plant, it may be converted to a full-size commercial well, used either for extraction or re-injection of geothermal fluids, or be used as an observation well to monitor and define the geothermal resource. Costs associated with these activities and other directly attributable costs, including interest once physical exploration activities begin, and permitting costs are capitalized and included in “Construction-in-process”. If the Company concludes that a geothermal resource will not support commercial operations, capitalized costs are expensed in the period such determination is made.
 When deciding whether to continue holding lease rights and/or to pursue exploration activity, the Company diligently prioritizes prospective investments, taking into account resource and probability assessments in order to make informed decisions about whether a particular project will support commercial operation. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $3.9 million, $3.7 million, and $0.8 million of unsuccessful exploration and storage activities, respectively, that the
Company decided to no longer pursue, out of which $2.0 million in 2024 relate to storage activities that the Company decided to no longer pursue.
 All exploration and development costs that are being capitalized will be depreciated over their estimated useful lives when the related geothermal power plant is substantially complete and ready for use. A geothermal power plant is substantially complete and ready for use when electricity generation commences.
Asset Retirement Obligation
Asset Retirement Obligation
 The Company records the fair value of a legal liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. The Company’s legal liabilities include plugging wells and post-closure costs of power producing and storage sites. When a new liability for asset retirement obligations is recorded, the Company capitalizes the costs of the liability by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. The Company periodically reassesses the assumptions used to estimate the expected cash flows required to settle the asset retirement obligation, including changes in estimated probabilities, amounts, and timing of the settlement of the asset retirement obligation, as well as changes in the legal requirements of an obligation and revises the previously recorded asset retirement obligation accordingly. At retirement, the obligation is settled for its recorded amount at a gain or loss.
Deferred Financing Costs Deferred Financing Costs
 Deferred financing costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability or under "Deposits and other" if associated with lines of credit. Such deferred costs are amortized over the term of the related obligation using the effective interest method or ratably, as applicable. Amortization of deferred financing costs is presented as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $5.9 million, $5.9 million, and $4.2 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, no material amounts were written-off as a result of extinguishment of liabilities.
Goodwill
Goodwill
 Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred in the business combination transactions over the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired, net of the fair value of liabilities assumed and the fair value of any noncontrolling interest in the acquisitions. Goodwill is not amortized but rather subject to a periodic impairment testing on an annual basis, which the Company performs on December 31 of each year, or if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Additionally, it is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether a quantitative goodwill impairment test is necessary. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. An entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test. This would not preclude the entity from performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The quantitative assessment compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Under ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. However, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. For further information relating to goodwill see Note 9 - Intangible Assets and Goodwill to the consolidated financial statements.
Intangible Assets Intangible Assets
 Intangible assets consist of allocated acquisition costs of PPAs, which are amortized using the straight-line method over the 4 to 17-year terms of the agreements (see Note 9) as well as acquisition costs allocation related to the Company's Energy Storage segment activities that are amortized over a period of between approximately 6 and 19 years. Intangible assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. In case there are no such events or change in circumstances, there is no need to perform an impairment testing. The recoverability is tested by comparing the net carrying value of the intangible assets to the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of these assets. If the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (or asset group) is not recoverable, the fair value of the asset (asset group) is measured and if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of
 The Company evaluates long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and construction-in-process for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Factors which could trigger an impairment include, among others, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the Company’s use of assets or its overall business strategy, negative industry or economic trends, a determination that an exploration project will not support commercial operations, a determination that a suspended project is not likely to be completed, a significant increase in costs necessary to complete a project, legal factors relating to its business or when it concludes that it is more likely than not that an asset will be disposed of or sold.
 The Company tests its operating plants that are operated together as a complex for impairment at the complex level because the cash flows of such plants result from significant shared operating activities. For example, the operating power plants in a complex are managed under a combined operation management generally with one central control room that controls all of the power plants in a complex and one maintenance group that services all of the power plants in a complex. As a result, the cash flows from individual plants within a complex are not largely independent of the cash flows of other plants within the complex. The Company tests for impairment of its operating plants which are not operated as a complex as well as its projects under exploration, development or construction that are not part of an existing complex at the plant or project level. To the extent an operating plant becomes part of a complex, the Company will test for impairment at the complex level.
 Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. The significant assumptions that the Company uses in estimating its undiscounted future cash flows include: (i) projected generating capacity of the complex or power plant and rates to be received under the respective PPAs and expected market rates thereafter and (ii) projected operating expenses of the relevant complex or power plant. Estimates of future cash flows used to test recoverability of a long-lived asset under development also include cash flows associated with all future expenditures necessary to develop the asset.
   If the assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value. Management believes that as of December 31, 2024, no impairment exists for long-lived assets, however, estimates as to the recoverability of such assets may change based on revised circumstances. If actual cash flows differ significantly from the Company’s current estimates, a material impairment charge may be required in the future.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $30.5 million relating to its Brawley power plant. Further information relating to this impairment charge is disclosed under Note 8 - Property, Plant and Equipment to the consolidated financial statements.
Derivative Instruments
Derivative Instruments
 Derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) are measured at their fair value and recorded as either assets or liabilities unless exempted from derivative treatment as a normal purchase and sale. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized in earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments are initially recorded in “Other comprehensive income (loss)” and a corresponding amount is reclassified out of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” into earnings to offset the impact of the underlying hedge transaction when it affects earnings under the same line item in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
 The Company maintains a risk management strategy that may incorporate the use of swap contracts, put options, forward exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, and cross-currency swaps to minimize significant fluctuation in cash flows and/or earnings that are caused by oil and natural gas prices, exchange rate or interest rate volatility.
Foreign Currency Translation Foreign Currency Translation The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for all of the Company’s consolidated operations and those of its equity affiliates except the Guadeloupe power plant and the Company's operations in New Zealand. For those U.S. dollar functional currency entities, all gains and losses from currency translations are included under “Derivatives and foreign currency transaction gains (losses)” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Euro and New Zealand Dollar are the functional currencies of the Company's operations in Guadeloupe and New Zealand, respectively, and thus the impact from currency translation adjustments related to those locations is included as currency translation adjustments in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the consolidated statements of equity and in comprehensive income. The accumulated currency translation adjustments amounted to a debit of $9.3 million and a debit of $2.3 million, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Comprehensive Income Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income includes net income plus other comprehensive income (loss), which for the Company consists primarily of changes in foreign currency translation adjustments, changes in unrealized gains or losses in respect of the Company’s share in derivatives instruments of an unconsolidated investment that qualifies as a cash flow hedge, and changes in respect of derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge. The changes in foreign currency translation adjustments included under other comprehensive income (loss) during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $(8.2) million, $1.3 million, and $(2.5) million, respectively. The changes in the Company’s share in derivative instruments of an unconsolidated investment, and gains or losses in respect of derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge are disclosed under Note 5 – Investment in unconsolidated companies, and Note 7 - Fair value of financial instruments, respectively, to the consolidated financial statements.
Power Purchase Agreements
Power Purchase Agreements
Substantially all of the Company’s Electricity revenues are recognized pursuant to PPAs in the United States, and in various foreign countries, including Kenya, Guatemala, Guadeloupe and Honduras. These PPAs generally provide for the payment of energy
payments or both energy and capacity payments through their respective terms which expire in varying periods from 2025 to 2051. Generally, capacity payments are calculated based on the amount of time that the power plants are available to generate electricity. The energy payments are calculated based on the amount of electrical energy delivered at a designated delivery point. The price terms are customary in the industry and include, among others, a fixed price, SRAC (the incremental cost that the power purchaser avoids by not having to generate such electrical energy itself or purchase it from others), and a fixed price with an escalation clause that includes the value for environmental attributes, known as renewable energy credits. Certain of the PPAs provide for bonus payments in the event that the Company is able to exceed certain target levels and potential payments by the Company if it fails to meet minimum target levels. The Company has PPAs that give the power purchaser or its designee a right of first refusal or a right of first offer to acquire the geothermal power plants at fair market value as negotiated between the parties. One of the Company’s subsidiaries in Guatemala sells power at an agreed upon price subject to terms of a “take or pay” PPA.
 Pursuant to the terms of certain of the PPAs, the Company may be required to make payments to the relevant power purchaser under certain conditions, such as shortfall in delivery of renewable energy and energy credits, and not meeting certain performance threshold requirements, as defined in the relevant PPA. The amount of payment required is dependent upon the level of shortfall in delivery or performance requirements and is recorded in the period the shortfall occurs. In addition, if the Company does not meet certain minimum performance requirements, the capacity of the power plant may be permanently reduced.
Revenues and Cost of Revenues Revenues and Cost of Revenues
 Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized in connection with the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Company is required to apply each of the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contracts; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Revenues are primarily related to: (i) sale of electricity from geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants owned and operated by the Company; (ii) geothermal and recovered energy-based power plant equipment sale, engineering, construction and installation, and operating services; and (iii) energy storage and related services.
 Electricity Segment Revenues:
Revenues related to the sale of electricity from geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants and capacity payments are recorded based upon output delivered and capacity provided at rates specified under relevant contract terms. The Company assesses whether PPAs entered into, modified, or acquired in business combinations contain a lease element requiring lease accounting. Revenue from such PPAs are accounted for in electricity revenues. In the Electricity segment, revenues for all but thirteen power plants are accounted as operating leases, and therefore equipment related to geothermal and recovered energy generation power plants as described in Note 8 is considered held for leasing. For power plants in the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company identified electricity as a separate performance obligation. Performance obligations identified were evaluated and determined to be satisfied over time and qualified for the invoicing practical expedient since the invoiced amounts reasonably represents the value to customers of performance obligations fulfilled to date. The transaction price is determined based on the price per actual mega-watt output or available capacity as agreed to in the respective PPA. Customers are generally billed on a monthly basis and payment is typically due within 30 to 60 days after the issuance of the invoice.
Product Segment Revenues:
Revenues from engineering, operating services, and parts and product sales are recorded upon providing the service or delivery of the products and parts and when collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from the supply and/or construction of geothermal and recovered energy-based power plant equipment and other equipment to third parties are recognized over time since control is transferred continuously to the Company's customers. The majority of the Company's contracts include a single performance obligation which is essentially the promise to transfer the individual goods or services that are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and therefore deemed as not distinct. Performance obligations are satisfied over-time if the customer receives the benefits as the Company performs work, if the customer controls the asset as it is being constructed, or if the product being produced for the customer has no alternative use and the Company has a contractual right to payment. In the Company's Product segment, revenues are spread over a period of one to two years and are recognized over time based on the cost incurred to date in ratio to total estimated costs which represents the input method that best depicts the transfer of control over the performance obligation to the customer. Costs include direct material, labor, and indirect costs. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.
 In contracts for which the Company determines that control is not transferred continuously to the customer, the Company recognizes revenues at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the asset. Revenues for such contracts are recorded upon delivery and acceptance by the customer. This generally is the case for the sale of spare parts, generators or similar products.
 Accounting for product contracts that are satisfied over time includes use of several estimates such as variable consideration related to bonuses and penalties and total estimated cost for completing the contract. The estimated amount of variable consideration will be included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. These estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and the Company's best judgment at the time.
 The nature of the Company's product contracts give rise to several modifications or change requests by its customers. Substantially all of the modifications are treated as cumulative catch-ups to revenues since the additional goods are not distinct from those already provided. The Company includes the additional revenues related to the modifications in its transaction price when both parties to the contract approved the modification. As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of the Company's contracts, the Company reviews and updates its contract-related estimates regularly. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, the Company recognizes the total loss in the period in which it is identified.
Energy Storage Segment Revenues:
Battery energy storage systems as a service, and related services revenues are recorded based on energy management of load curtailment capacity delivered or service provided at rates specified under the relevant contract terms. The Company determined that such revenues are in the scope of ASC 606, and identified energy management services as a separate performance obligation. Performance obligations are satisfied once the Company provides verification to the electric power grid operator or utility of its ability to meet the committed capacity, the power curtailment requirements or the ancillary services and thus entitled to cash proceeds. Such verification may be provided by the Company bi-weekly, monthly or under any other frequency as set by the related program and are typically followed by a payment shortly after. Performance obligations identified were evaluated and determined to be satisfied over time and qualified for the invoicing practical expedient since the amounts included in the verification document reasonably represent the value of performance obligations fulfilled to date. The transaction price is determined based on mechanisms specified in the contract with the customer.
 Contract assets related to the Company's Product segment reflect revenues recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities related to the Company's Product segment reflect customer billing in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. The Company receives payments from customers based on the terms established in the contracts. Total contract assets and contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:
December 31,
20242023
(Dollars in thousands)
Contract assets (*) $29,243 $18,367 
Contract liabilities (*) $(23,091)$(18,669)
(*) Contract assets and contract liabilities are presented as "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts", and "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts", respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. The contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the year was substantially recognized as product revenues during the year ended December 31, 2024 as a result of performance obligations that were satisfied. Additionally, as of December 31, 2024, long-term costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts related to the Dominica project in the amount of $26.0 million is included under “Deposits and other” in the consolidated balance sheets, and not under the contract assets and contract liabilities above, due its long-term nature.
 The following table presents the significant changes in the contract assets and contract liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:
Years Ended December 31,

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections result in accounts receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. In the Company's Products segment, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, or upon achievement of contractual milestones. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to the recognition of revenue, resulting in contract assets. However, the Company sometimes receives advances or deposits from its customers before revenue can be recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheet on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The timing of billing its customers and receiving advance payments vary from contract to contract.  The majority of payments are received no later than the completion of the project and satisfaction of the Company's performance obligation.
On December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $338.3 million of remaining performance obligations not yet satisfied or partly satisfied related to its Product segment. The Company expects to recognize approximately 100% of this amount as Product revenues during the next 24 months.
The following schedule reconciles revenues accounted under lease accounting, and revenues accounted under ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers, to total consolidated revenues for the three years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:

Allowance for Credit Losses
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company performs an analysis of potential credit losses related to its financial instruments that are within the scope of ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 325, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. Such instruments are primarily cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, receivables (excluding those accounted under lease accounting) and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, based on class of financing receivables which share the same or similar risk characteristics such as customer type and geographic location, among others. The Company estimates the expected credit losses for each class of financing receivables by applying the related corporate default rate which corresponds to the credit rating of the specific customer or class of financing receivables. For trade receivables, the Company applied this methodology using aging schedules reflecting how long the receivables have been outstanding. The Company has also considered the existence of credit enhancement arrangements that may mitigate the credit risk of its financial receivables in estimating the applicable corporate default rate. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions related to inflation and rising interest rates and determined that the estimate of credit losses was not significantly impacted.
Leases
Leases
 ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), defines a lease as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means that the customer has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset, and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset.
 The Company is a lessee in operating lease transactions primarily consisting of land leases for its exploration and development activities in the Electricity segment. The Company is also a lessee in finance lease transactions related to its fleet vehicles in the U.S. Additionally, one of the Company's power plant assets which was included in the Terra-Gen business acquisition in 2021, is subject to a sale and leaseback transaction that is accounted as a "failed" sale and leaseback. Additionally, as further described above under Revenues and cost of revenues, the Company acts as a lessor in PPAs that are accounted under ASC 842, Leases.
In accordance with the lease standard, for agreements in which the Company is the lessee, the Company applies a unified accounting model by which it recognizes a right-of-use asset ("ROU") and a lease liability at the commencement date of the lease contract for all the leases in which the Company has a right to control identified assets for a specified period of time. The classification of the lease as a finance lease or an operating lease determines the subsequent accounting for the lease arrangement.
 The Company, both as a lessee and as a lessor, applies the following permitted practical expedients: 
1.Not reassess whether any existing contracts are or contain a lease;
2.Applying the practical expedient for a lessee to not separate non-lease components from lease components and, instead, to account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease as a single component;
3.Applying the practical expedient (for a lessee) regarding the recognition and measurement of short-term leases, for leases for a period of up to 12 months from the commencement date. Instead, the Company continued to recognize the lease payments for those leases in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
 The Company applies the following significant accounting policies regarding leases it enters into following the adoption of the lease guidance on January 1, 2019:
1.Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease: on the inception date of the lease, the Company determines whether the arrangement is a lease or contains a lease, while examining if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. 
2. The Company as a lessee:
a. Lease classification: at the commencement date, a lease is a finance lease if it meets any one of the criteria below; otherwise, the lease is an operating lease:
The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term;
The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise;
The lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset;
The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset;
The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of lease term.
b.Leased assets and lease liabilities - initial recognition: upon initial recognition, the Company recognizes a liability at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term, and concurrently recognizes a ROU asset at the
same amount of the liability, adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, plus initial direct costs incurred in respect of the lease. Since the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the incremental borrowing rate of the Company is used. The subsequent measurement depends on whether the lease is classified as a finance lease or an operating lease.
c.The lease term: the lease term is the non-cancellable period of the lease plus periods covered by an extension or termination option if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option.
d.Subsequent measurement of operating leases: after lease commencement, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments using the discount rate determined at lease commencement (as long as the discount rate has not been updated as a result of a reassessment event). The Company subsequently measures the ROU asset at the present value of the remaining lease payments, adjusted for the remaining balance of any lease incentives received, any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent if the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term and any unamortized initial direct costs. Further, the Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
e.Subsequent measurement of finance leases: after lease commencement, the Company measures the lease liability by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and reducing the carrying amount to reflect lease payments made during the period. The Company determines the interest on the lease liability in each period during the lease term as the amount that produces a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability, taking into consideration the reassessment requirements. After lease commencement, the Company measures the ROU assets at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses, taking into consideration the reassessment requirements. The Company amortizes the ROU asset on a straight-line basis, unless another systematic basis better represents the pattern in which the Company expects to consume the ROU asset’s future economic benefits. The ROU asset is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the ROU asset. The amortization period related to the finance lease transactions on fleet vehicles is 4-5 years. The total periodic expense (the sum of interest and amortization expense) of a finance lease is typically higher in the early periods and lower in the later periods.
f.Variable lease payments:
Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate: on the commencement date, the lease payments may include variability and depend on an index or a rate (such as the Consumer Price Index or a market interest rate). The Company does not remeasure the lease liability for changes in future lease payments arising from changes in an index or rate unless the lease liability is remeasured for another reason. Therefore, after initial recognition, such variable lease payments are recognized in profit or loss as they are incurred.
Other variable lease payments: variable payments that depend on performance or use of the underlying asset are not included in the lease payments. Such variable payments are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
 3. The Company as a lessor:
At lease commencement, the Company as a lessor classifies leases as either finance or operating leases. Finance leases are further classified as a sales-type lease or as a direct financing lease, however, the Company has no such leases as a lessor. Under an operating lease, the Company recognizes the lease payment as income over the lease term, generally as earned or on a straight-line basis
Termination Fee
Termination Fee
 Fees to terminate PPAs are recognized in the period incurred as selling and marketing expenses. No termination fees were incurred during 2024, 2023 and 2022.
Warranty on Products Sold Warranty on Products Sold
 The Company generally provides a one to two year warranty against defects in workmanship and materials related to the sale of products for electricity generation. The Company considers the warranty to be an assurance type warranty since the warranty provides the customer the assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications. Estimated future warranty obligations are included in operating expenses in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. Such charges are immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
Research and Development Research and Development
 Research and development costs incurred by the Company for the development of technologies related to its existing and new geothermal and recovered energy power plants as well as its storage facilities are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). The Company uses the Complex Lattice, Three-based Option Pricing model and the Monte Carlo Simulation to calculate the fair value of the stock-based compensation awards.
Tax Monetization Transactions Tax Monetization Transactions
 The Company has the following five tax monetization transactions: Tungsten, McGinness Hills 3, Steamboat Hills, CD4 and North Valley, as further described under Note 12 – Tax Monetization Transactions. The purpose of these transactions is to form tax partnerships, whereby investors provide cash in exchange for equity interests that provide the holder a right to the majority of tax benefits associated with a renewable energy project. The Company accounts for a portion of the proceeds from the transaction as debt under ASC 470. Given that a portion of these transactions is structured as a purchase of an equity interest the Company also classifies a portion as noncontrolling interest consistent with guidance in ASC 810. The portion recorded to noncontrolling interest is initially measured at the fair value of the discounted tax attributes and cash distributions which represents the partner's residual economic interest. The residual proceeds are recognized as the initial carrying value of the debt which is classified as a “Liability associated with the sale of tax benefits”. The Company applies the effective interest rate method to the liability associated with the tax monetization transaction component as described by ASC 835 and CON 7. The tax benefits and cash distributions realized by the partner each period are treated as the debt servicing amounts, with the tax benefit amounts giving rise to income attributable to the sale of tax benefits. The deferred transaction costs are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
 Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on provisions of the enacted tax law. The Company accounts for investment tax credits and production tax credits (except for production tax credits which are sold under tax monetization transactions, as described above) as a reduction to income taxes in the year in which the credit arises. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are more likely than not expected to be realized. A valuation allowance has been established to offset the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets. Tax benefits from uncertain tax positions are recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Interest and penalties assessed by taxing authorities on an underpayment of income taxes are included as a component of income tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Earnings per Share
Earnings per Share
 Basic earnings per share attributable to the Company’s stockholders (“earnings per share”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, net of treasury shares. The Company does not have any equity instruments that are dilutive, except for stock-based awards and convertible senior notes.
 The table below shows the reconciliation of the number of shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
 
Year Ended December 31,
202420232022
(In thousands)
Weighted average number of shares used in computation of basic earnings per share
60,45559,42456,063
Add:
Additional shares from the assumed exercise of employee stock-based awards 335338440
Weighted average number of shares used in computation of diluted earnings per share
60,79059,76256,503
 The number of stock-based awards that could potentially dilute future earnings per share which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive was 38.5 thousand, 82.5 thousand, and 29.2 thousand, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
 As per ASU 2020-06, the if-converted method is required for calculating any potential dilutive effect from convertible instruments. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the average price of the Company's common stock did not exceed the per share conversion price of its convertible senior notes (the "Notes") of $90.27, and other requirements for the Notes to be
convertible were not met, and as such, there was no dilutive effect from the Notes in respect with the aforementioned periods. Further information on the Notes is detailed under Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
Redeemable noncontrolling interest is currently redeemable and relates to a certain noncontrolling shareholder in a subsidiary having an option to sell its equity interest to the Company. The carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest balance as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 approximates the redemption price of such interests. Changes in the carrying amount of the Company's Redeemable noncontrolling interest were as follows:
20242023
(Dollars in thousands)
Redeemable noncontrolling interest as of January 1, $10,599 $9,590

Cash Dividends
Cash Dividends
 During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared, approved, and authorized the payment of cash dividends in the aggregate amount of $29.1 million ($0.48 per share), $28.4 million ($0.48 per share), and $27.1 million ($0.48 per share), respectively. Such dividends were paid in the years declared.
Equity Offering
Equity Offering
On March 14, 2023, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as the sole underwriter (the “Underwriter”), in connection with a public offering, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 3,600,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and the Underwriter agreed to purchase these shares at a price of $82.60 per share. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 540,000 shares of common stock at the same price per share, which was fully exercised by the Underwriters on April 3, 2023. The total net proceeds from the offering, including the option, were approximately $341.7 million, after deducting offering expenses.
Purchase of Treasury Stock
Purchase of Treasury Stock
In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes as further described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company used approximately $18.0 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of these Convertible Senior Notes to repurchase 258,667 shares of its common stock in privately negotiated transactions at a price of $69.45 per share. The Company recorded this purchase of treasury stock as a reduction to its equity on the consolidated statements of equity in the second quarter of 2022.
ORPD Transaction
ORPD Transaction
On July 11, 2023, ORPD LLC ("ORPD"), a subsidiary of the Company in which Northleaf Geothermal Holdings, LLC ("Northleaf") and the Company hold 36.75% and 63.25% equity interest, respectively, sold OREG 1, OREG 2, OREG 3 ("OREGs") and the Don A. Campbell complex to Ormat Nevada Inc. ("ONI"), a fully owned subsidiary of the Company. The proceeds from the sale were partially used by ORPD to make a distribution to its shareholders in which Northleaf's share was $30.0 million. Following this purchase transaction with the noncontrolling interest, the Company fully owns the OREGs and the Don A. Campbell complex and ORPD remains the holder of the Puna geothermal power plant. The Company accounted for this transaction as an equity transaction.
Short-term Commercial Paper
Short-term Commercial Paper
On October 19, 2023, the Company entered into a framework agreement for participation in the issuance of commercial paper (the "Commercial Paper Agreement") with Barak Capital Underwriting Ltd. under which the Company allowed the participants to submit proposals for purchasing and to purchase the Company's commercial paper ("Commercial Paper") in accordance with the provisions of the Commercial Paper Agreement. On October 23, 2023, the Company completed the issuance of the Commercial Paper in the aggregate amount of $73.2 million, and subsequently on December 11, 2023, the Company issued an additional amount of $26.8 million, under the same terms. The Commercial Paper was issued for a period of 90 days and extends automatically for additional 90 days periods for up to five years, unless the Company notifies the participants otherwise or a notice of termination is provided by the participants in accordance with the provisions of the Commercial Paper Agreement. The Commercial Paper bears an annual interest of three months SOFR +1.1% which will be paid at the end of each ninety days period. As of December 31, 2024, the base rate was 4.6%.
War in Israel, Settlement Agreement and Heber 1 power plant fire
War in Israel
Starting October 7, 2023, Israel has been engaged in a complex multifront war, fighting against large-scale, repeated attacks on civilians from Iran, Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, militant terrorist groups in the West Bank and others. Although Israel has since agreed to ceasefires with each of Hamas and Hezbollah with respect to the conflicts in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, these conflicts could re-escalate if the ceasefires are violated. Iran, which has launched missiles directly at civilian targets in Israel twice during the current conflict, and other proxy forces and terrorist organizations have threatened to escalate the fighting throughout Israel, including targeting major infrastructure facilities. Additionally, the Houthis launched repeated attacks on marine vessels in the Red Sea, an important maritime route for international trade.
The majority of the Company's senior management and its main Product segment production and manufacturing facilities are located in Israel approximately 26 miles from the border with the Gaza Strip, and the Company receives supplies for and ship products for its Product segment via the Port of Ashdod, which is also close to the Gaza Strip and its coastline. While these disruptions have caused an increase in insurance premium costs for shipments into and out of the seaport, as of the date of these consolidated financial statements, none of the Company's facilities or infrastructure have been damaged nor have its supply chains been significantly impacted since the war broke out. However, a prolonged war could result in further military reserve duty call-ups as well as irregularities to the Company's supply chain and to its ability to ship its products from Israel, which could disrupt the operations of the Company's Product segment and potentially delay some of its growth plans in the Electricity segment. Management continuously monitors the effect of the war on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
Settlement Agreement
On August 1, 2024, the Company entered into a settlement agreement, effective April 2024, (the “Agreement”) with a third-party battery systems supplier (the “Supplier”). Under the Agreement, the Supplier paid to the Company $35.0 million as a recovery of damages, such as significant loss of potential profit due to project delays, as well as additional cost related to locating and purchasing substitute battery solutions from alternative vendors, incurred by the Company (the “Recovery of Damages”) to settle the dispute. On August 16, 2024, the Company received the Recovery of Damages payment contingent upon certain conditions which the Company expects to be met, on a pro-rata basis, during the period until March 31, 2026. The Company accounted for the Recovery of Damages amount under the guidance of ASC 450, Contingencies, and ASC 705, Cost of Sales and Services, and as a result, deemed $25.0 million as a recovery of damages, which will be recognized as income once contingency conditions are met, and $10.0 million as a reduction to the cost of battery systems to be purchased under the Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized income of $9.4 million under “Other operating income” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. This amount represents the non-refundable portion of the recovery of damages for which all contingency conditions have been met.
Heber 1 Power Plant Fire
The Company's Heber 1 geothermal power plant located in California experienced an outage following a fire on February 25, 2022 that caused damage primarily to the steam turbine-generator area. In mid-April, 2022 the Company gradually re-started operation of the binary units and in May 2023 the Heber 1 power plant successfully resumed operations. In 2022, the Company recognized $21.8 million of insurance recoveries in respect of the Heber 1 fire event, of which $8.0 million was attributable to property damage and thus recorded against the related receivable and offset the loss from the damaged equipment. The remainder of $13.8 million, was related to business interruption and thus recorded as income under electricity cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company received all insurance proceeds related to the Heber 1 fire event.
New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements
 New Accounting Pronouncements Effective in the Year Ended December 31, 2024
Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting–Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures (Topic 280)” to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this ASU (1) require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; (2) require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition; (3) require that a public entity provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods; (4) clarify that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures; and (5) require that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure or measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be
applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company applied the disclosure requirements of ASU 2023-07 on the effective date, and updated its disclosure under Note 17, Business Segments, to the consolidated financial statements to comply with the new disclosure guidance.
New Accounting Pronouncements Effective in Future Periods
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740)–Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments in this ASU require that public entities, on an annual basis, disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This ASU also requires that all entities disclose, on an annual basis, (1) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, (2) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid, (3) income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and (4) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this update and plans to implement these amendments in its 2025 consolidated annual financial statements.
 Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)” to improve the disclosure about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments in this ASU require disclosure of the following items in the notes to the financial statements at each interim and annual reporting date:
1.The amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contain any of the expense categories listed in (a) through (e).
2.A qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively.
3.The total amount of selling expenses recognized in continuing operations, and the entity’s definition of selling expenses.
The amendments of this ASU also require that an entity include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the ASU or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements.
Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04 “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)” to improve the relevance and consistency in application of induced conversion guidance. The amendments in this ASU clarify the assessment of whether a transaction should be accounted for as an induced conversion or extinguishment of convertible debt when changes are made to conversion features as part of an offer to settle the instrument. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. This ASU can be adopted either on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements; however, it anticipates that the adoption of ASU 2024-04 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
