Third Quarter Portfolio Updates
- 2023 project plan achieved with a total of 1.8 GW of generation now operational; 256 MW and 90 MWh reached COD since last quarter’s earnings report
- Expanded the Mature Project portfolio by 530 MW and 1.3 GWh, largely through the addition of Country Acres and Quail Ranch, two projects in the Western U.S.
- CO Bar cluster (1.2 GW and 0.8 GWh) expected to be delayed to 2026 COD driven by interconnection queue reform initiated by the Arizona regulator; Roadrunner and Quail Ranch to be accelerated to 2025 COD (414 MW and 1.34 GWh)
- Executed 683 MW and 1.3 GWh of PPAs at attractive prices
“Our third quarter results demonstrate continued year over year growth in profitability, as characterized by our Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA. Moreover, we continue to see robust project returns, accelerated portfolio growth, and deep access to capital, despite the higher interest rate environment,” said Gilad Yavetz, CEO of Enlight Renewable Energy.
“We are uniquely positioned with our interconnection advantage to build large scale projects for utilities which urgently need power. This is enabling us to push PPA pricing higher, through the 1.8 GW of amendments secured in the last 18 months at an average price increase of 25%, and our newly signed PPAs. At the same time, our flexible procurement agreements have enabled us to capture the value of rapidly declining solar panel and battery prices. Declining project costs coupled with higher priced PPAs are pushing returns higher.”
“At the same time, we are continuing to convert our development projects into Mature Projects, including the 530 MW and 1.3 GWh we added to the Mature Portfolio this quarter. While Project CO Bar is now expected to be delayed to 2026, we have been able to accelerate some of our other major projects to 2025, while continuing to build the backlog for 2026 and beyond. Moreover, we continue to progress with our stated financing strategy. We are in the very final stages of securing more than $500m of project finance between Atrisco Solar and Israel Solar + Storage. When these transactions close, we expect more than $300m of equity to be recycled back to Enlight. Combined with cash on hand and cash flow from operational projects, we expect to have sufficient equity to reach up to 4.6 GW and 3.6 GWh of operational projects, extending out into 2026 CODs.”
“Finally, over a month ago Israel was attacked and now finds itself in a state of war. Despite this, Enlight continues to operate with minimal disruption. I am extremely proud of our employees’ focus and determination given the challenging environment. Our operational projects in Israel are currently producing power without impact, while the globally diversified nature of our portfolio between the United States, Europe and Israel continues to be a source of strength for our company.”
Overview of Financial and Operating Results: Revenue
In the third quarter of 2023, the Company’s revenues increased to $58m, up from $56m last year, a growth rate of 3% year over year. The Company benefited from the revenue contribution of new operational projects and inflation indexation embedded in PPAs for already operational projects. This was largely offset by a decline in revenues at Gecama year over year, driven by lower electricity prices relative to the prices observed in the same quarter last year.

Since the third quarter of last year, 544 MW and 81 MWh of projects started selling electricity, including Björnberget in Sweden, Apex Solar in the U.S., ACDC in Hungary, and several small solar and storage projects in Israel. These projects collectively contributed $8m of revenue during the third quarter of 2023. The biggest contributor was Björnberget ($5m), which is now operating at full production. The Company also benefited from inflation indexation embedded in its PPAs, which contributed an additional $3m of revenue during the quarter. This reflected an average indexation of 7.2% across 592 MW of PPAs for projects that have been operational for a full year. There was no material net FX impact on the Company’s revenues this quarter. Gecama revenues fell year over year by 38% ($8m year over year), driven by lower power prices relative to last year’s peak electricity pricing. During the third quarter last year we sold electricity at Gecama at EUR 135 per MWh versus EUR 81 MWh for the same period this year.
Financial performance was well-balanced between Western Europe, Central-Eastern Europe (“CEE”) and Israel, with 60% of revenues in the third quarter of 2023 denominated in Euros, 6% in US Dollars, 4% in another European currency, and 30% denominated in Israeli shekel.
In addition to the above, the Company sold $5m of electricity in projects treated as financial assets in the third quarter. Under IFRS this revenue is accounted for as financing income or other non-P&L metrics.
Net Income
In the third quarter of 2023, the Company’s net income increased to $26m, a growth rate of 35% year over year. There was a non-cash benefit of $8m this quarter attributed to the mark to market of interest rate hedges the Company entered into ahead of the financial close process at Atrisco. Enlight utilizes such hedges as a way to reduce interest rate risk ahead of securing project finance. The residual change in net income was driven by a reduction in the expectation for earnout payments linked to the acquisition of Clenera of $12m, compared to a $18m reduction during the same period in 2022, and gains recognized on project divestitures of $8m.
Adjusted EBITDA*
In the third quarter of 2023, the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA grew by 32% to $47m compared to $36m for the same period in 2022. The increase was driven by the same factors which affected our revenue increase; gains recognized from project divestures; and the final installment of compensation payments from Siemens Gamesa linked to the delay in reaching full production at Björnberget. We recognized $2m of compensatory payments from Siemens during the quarter. With respect to divestures, the Company sold its 10% stake in the Faraday solar project (683 MW), a pre-NTP (notice to proceed) development project in the U.S. for $190,000 per MW. We recognized a gain of $3m in the third quarter and expect to recognize an additional gain of $2m in the fourth quarter. Similarly, the Company sold 50% of several small operational projects in Israel (25 MW) for $465,000 per MW, recognizing a gain in the third quarter of $5m. These gains were offset by a $1m increase in overhead.
Portfolio Overview1
Key changes to the Company’s project portfolio during the third quarter of 2023:
- Operational portfolio grew by 256 MW and 90 MWh, including Genesis Wind (207MW) and two projects which reached COD within the Solar & Storage cluster in Israel
- Mature Project portfolio grew by 530 MW and 1,300 MWh, largely driven by Country Acres and Quail Ranch. These two projects have both signed PPAs and interconnection agreements.
United States
Project fundamentals in the U.S. remain strong. During the last 18 months, Enlight amended approximately 1.8 GW of PPA contracts at an average price increase of 25%, demonstrating the high value that utilities place on Enlight’s portfolio of advanced interconnections and strategically located projects. In addition, our solar panel and battery prices are falling as indexed equipment supply agreements are delivering capex savings. Both these trends are anticipated to drive favorable returns for projects expected to reach COD between 2024 and 2026.
Consistent with this backdrop, we are executing our financing strategy by recycling invested capital from Mature Projects back to Enlight. We have finalized definitive documentation with lenders for debt and tax equity of more than $300m at the solar portion of Atrisco (364 MW). Upon closing, which is expected imminently, excess equity of more than $200m will be recycled back to Enlight. We also divested our 10% holding of the Faraday project for $13m.
Since our last report, Enlight has continued to enlarge its U.S. portfolio. We added 556 MW and 1,228 MWh to our Mature Portfolio. The growth was primarily driven by the addition of Country Acres in November 2023 and Quail Ranch in October 2023, two combined solar and storage projects located in the Western U.S. We also expanded Roadrunner in light of greater demand from Arizona Electric Power Cooperative (AEPCO), the offtaker.
The Country Acres project has a capacity of 392 MW and 688 MWh and is located in northern California. We added the project to our Mature Portfolio upon signing both a PPA and interconnection agreement with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District. Enlight plans to begin construction on Country Acres in 2024 and reach COD in 2026.
In New Mexico, we signed a PPA with Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) for the Quail Ranch project, a 120 MW and 400 MWh expansion to the Atrisco project. A clear example of Enlight’s “Land & Expand” strategy, Quail Ranch is anticipated to share Atrisco’s interconnection infrastructure (which already has a signed interconnection agreement), efficiently reducing risk and increasing returns. Construction is expected to begin in 2024, with COD expected in 2025.
The Atrisco solar project (364 MW) is progressing well with all panels through U.S. customs or on site. We expect the solar portion of the project to reach COD during the third quarter of 2024. Construction of the storage portion of Atrisco (1.2 GWh) is progressing at a slower pace than originally planned due to supplier delays in the third quarter. We are evaluating the possibility of a change to our battery supplier in order to meet the project schedule. The Company now expects to reach COD on the storage portion of the project during the fourth quarter of 2024.
In Arizona, the Arizona Public Services (“APS”) recently enacted a reform of its interconnection process. The reform is being implemented pursuant to a FERC order issued in September 2023, and transitions APS’ interconnection study process from a “first-come, first-serve" approach to “first-ready, first-served". The interconnection associated with our CO Bar project (1.2 GW and 824 GWh) is governed by APS’ interconnection tariff. Although CO Bar is one of the most advanced projects in the APS queue, with its real estate, permitting, offtake, system impact study and affected systems secured, the change in the queue process is likely to delay receipt of CO Bar’s final interconnection agreement by approximately one year. This delay is anticipated to move the project’s expected COD from 2025 to 2026. Consistent with the reform’s first-ready first-served approach, Enlight is working with APS and its offtake partners to minimize the delay based on the project’s advanced status.
Our extensive portfolio of Mature Projects enables us to partially offset the impact of the CO Bar delay. The COD schedule for Roadrunner (294 MW and 940 MWh) is now being advanced from the first half of 2026 to the second half of 2025. We have also added Quail Ranch (120 MW and 400 MWh) with a planned COD in 2025. Both projects have signed interconnection agreements, executed PPAs, and advanced permitting in place.
On supply chain costs, our indexed supply contracts in the United States have enabled us to capture falling prices for solar panels and batteries. Enlight has the right to purchase up to 2 GW of modules compliant with AD/CVD and UFLPA with delivery through 2025 at spot prices. In the first half of 2023, our project models assumed panel pricing at 36-40 cents per watt and battery container pricing at approximately $250 per KWh. Today this equipment can be acquired at less than 30 cents per watt and under $180 per KWh.
Europe
The Company made progress on its European portfolio during the quarter. The Company achieved an offtake agreement for Pupin, a 94 MW wind project in Serbia. The arrangement will be structured through a “Contract for Differences” mechanism for 15 years with the state-owned utility Elektroprivreda Srbije, which will secure a base rate of EUR 68.88 per MWh for 72% of the project’s output, linked to Eurostat's Consumer Price Index. The remainder of the electricity produced will be sold on a merchant basis. Pupin is located adjacent to Blacksmith, our existing operational asset in Serbia, and both projects leverage the same interconnection point under our “Land and Expand” strategy.
On the development front, Gecama Solar (Spain), a 225 MW solar and 200 MWh storage project, is in final discussions with environmental authorities to secure its environmental permit, the site’s last major development milestone. Start of construction has now been pushed into H1 2024, with COD expected by H1 2025, a quarter delay from our expectation last quarter.
Within the Company’s operational portfolio in Europe, wind speeds during the third quarter were as expected. During the third quarter of 2023, Gecama (Spain) sold electricity at an average price of EUR 81 per MWh, of which 58% was hedged at EUR 67 per MWh with the remainder sold on merchant basis at EUR 100 per MWh. Windfall taxes were EUR 7 per MWh. Merchant prices in Spain are expected to remain high through 2024. As of the end of the third quarter, the Company signed hedges comprising 64% of expected production at an average price of EUR 99 per MWh for 2024 delivery. Given the current lack of a permanent government in Spain, there is uncertainty as to whether the windfall tax regime currently in place will be extended into 2024.
Israel
Genesis Wind, the largest renewable energy project in Israel totaling 207 MW, began commercial operation. Moreover, the Company continues to progress construction on the Solar + Storage project cluster, totaling 248 MW and 567 MWh of storage. Since the release of our last financial statements and until November 20, 2023 (the “Approval Date”), 49 MW and 90 MWh reached commercial operation, increasing the total operational capacity of the cluster to 72 MW and 135 MWh. Most of the remaining cluster is expected to be commercialized by the end of the first half of 2024.
Enlight continued to make progress on securing offtake for the Solar + Storage projects. Corporate PPAs were signed with the Israeli division of Applied Materials, BIG Shopping Centers, and other companies totaling 77 MW and 194 MWh, with negotiations ongoing with several additional offtakers. As a result of the deregulation of the electricity sector in Israel planned for the start of 2024, we are observing significant demand for renewable energy from our customers, which has in turn increased our PPA prices and the returns we expect to generate from our future projects.
The Company also sold a 50% stake in a 25 MW non-core project for $6m ($465,000 per MW).
Impact of Hostilities in Israel on Enlight’s Activities
On October 7, 2023, Israel was attacked by terrorist entities from the Gaza Strip, and now finds itself in a state of war. Despite this, Enlight continues to operate with minimal disruption, both in Israel and around the world.
With regards to Enlight’s portfolio of projects in Israel, 516 MW and 135 MWh are in operation, and 254 MW and 904 MWh are under construction / pre-construction. All operational projects are functioning without interruption and regular maintenance continues to be performed. We do expect an immaterial delay in the schedule for some of our Israeli projects under construction or pre-construction, as contractors and regulatory bodies are working at a slower pace.
The Company’s administrative and management teams based in Israel are fully operational at the moment, and we have put in place business continuity plans to minimize the potential impact of the conflict, including with respect to employees‘ call-up for military service.
Though Enlight is an Israeli-based company, most of our portfolio is located in Europe and the U.S. This global diversification provides a source of strength and commercial balance to the Company. Moreover, the relative contribution of Israel is set to fall in the coming years as new projects come online across Europe and the U.S. We provide below the current proportional representation of Israel within the Company’s overall financial performance and business structure for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:
- Total revenues originating in Israel were $48m, representing 26% of total revenues for the period.
- Total tangible fixed assets located in Israel amounted to $0.9bn, representing 33% of total tangible fixed assets
- The number of employees located in Israel was 118, representing 45% of the company's total employees. We have put in business continuity plans with respect to the approximately 19% of Israel-based workers who are currently in active military service.
We stand fully behind staff, who, as army reservists, have been called up to serve in the Israel Defense Force. We also support the extensive community outreach and acts of goodwill that many Enlight employees have engaged in over the past weeks.
Project Finance Arrangements
Enlight is in the final stages of completing financial close for two major projects: Atrisco Solar in the U.S. and Solar+Storage cluster in Israel. Definitive documentation for the solar portion of Atrisco has been finalized for more than $300m of debt and tax equity. Completion of the transaction is expected imminently. We are also in the final steps of securing project finance for the Solar + Storage cluster in Israel, of approximately $200m. Upon closing, both these transactions combined are expected to recycle more than $300m of equity capital back to Enlight to be used to fund the Company’s future growth plans.
Balance Sheet
The Company maintains $170m of revolving credit facilities at several Israeli banks, of which $110m remain undrawn as of the end of the third quarter. These resources enhance our financial strength and provide additional flexibility to the Company as it delivers on its Mature Project portfolio.

Supplemental Financial and Other Information
We intend to announce material information to the public through the Enlight investor relations website at https://enlightenergy.co.il/info/investors, SEC filings, press releases, public conference calls, and public webcasts. We use these channels to communicate with our investors, customers, and the public about our company, our offerings, and other issues. As such, we encourage investors, the media, and others to follow the channels listed above, and to review the information disclosed through such channels. Any updates to the list of disclosure channels through which we will announce information will be posted on the investor relations page of our website.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This release presents Adjusted EBITDA, a financial metric, which is provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). A reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial information to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure is provided in the accompanying tables found at the end of this release.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, finance expenses, taxes on income and share in losses of equity accounted investees and minus finance income and non-recurring other income. Non-recurring other income for the third quarter of 2023 included income recognized in relation to the reduction of earnout we expect to pay as part of the Clenera Acquisition and other income recognized in relation to tax credits for projects in the United States. With respect to other expense (income), as part of Enlight’s strategy to accelerate growth and reduce the need for equity financing, the Company sells parts of, or entire, developed assets from time to time, and therefore includes realized gains and losses from these asset dispositions in Adjusted EBITDA. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is indicative of operational performance and ongoing profitability and uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance and for planning and forecasting purposes.
Non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented under IFRS. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-IFRS financial measures versus comparable financial measures determined under IFRS. For example, other companies in our industry may calculate the non-IFRS financial measures that we use differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. All of these limitations could reduce the usefulness of our non-IFRS financial measures as analytical tools. Investors are encouraged to review the related IFRS financial measure, Net Income, and the reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA provided below to Net Income and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

1 As of November 20, 2023
2 The section titled “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” below contains a description of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS financial measure discussed in this press release. A reconciliation between Adjusted EBITDA and Net Income, its most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, is contained in the tables below. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because items that impact this IFRS financial measure are not within the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. These items may include, but are not limited to, forward-looking depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, other income, finance income, finance expenses, share of losses of equity accounted investees and taxes on income. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on the Company’s future financial results. We note that “Adjusted EBITDA” measures that we disclosed in previous filings in Israel were not comparable to “Adjusted EBITDA” disclosed in the release and in our future filings.
