Our executive team will then be available to answer your questions. I will now turn the call over to Adi Leviatan, CEO of Enlight. Adi, please begin.

Adi Leviatan, Chief Executive Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: Good morning and good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us to review Enlight’s first quarter 2026 results. We are off to a very strong start to the year, delivering excellent financial performance and continued execution momentum across our global platform. Our results this quarter clearly reflect the strength of our operating assets, the scale and quality of our development portfolio, and our ability to consistently convert projects into cash generating capacity. Before diving into the numbers, I want to briefly address the broader environment. The first quarter once again demonstrated the resilience of Enlight’s diversified platform. Despite ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, our assets continued to operate reliably, our projects advanced according to plan, and our financial performance remained strong. This resilience is the result of geographic and technological diversification and the fact that renewable energy and storage assets provide stability even in volatile conditions.

Turning now to the quarter. In Q1, revenues and income increased 54% year-over-year to $200 million, while adjusted EBITDA reached $154 million, representing 58% growth year-over-year, excluding the impacts of the sell down of the Sunlight cluster. This growth was driven primarily by new projects entering operation in the U.S., alongside strong wind conditions in Israel and Europe, increased electricity trading activity in Israel and supported foreign exchanges. Importantly, this was organic operating growth and reflects the continued expansion of our income generating portfolio and the future potential of advancing projects in our development portfolio over time. The U.S. became our largest geographic segment this quarter, contributing 37% of total revenues following the ramp-up of Roadrunner and Quail Ranch. This marks a meaningful milestone in the scaling of our U.S. platform.

Beyond the financials, Q1 was another strong execution quarter. During the quarter, we grew our U.S. portfolio that successfully passed system impact studies by approximately 2 factored gigawatts, reaching a total of 20 factored gigawatts, significantly increasing interconnection certainty. More than 60% of our advanced development and development portfolio completed the system impact study. We expect additional projects to be safe harbored in 2026, bringing the total to 15-17 factored gigawatts or about 80% of our U.S. advanced development and development portfolio. Our U.S. portfolio expanded by 2.6 factored gigawatts, more than 10% sequentially, and expanded in additional demand areas outside of WECC, supporting our medium to long-term growth in the market. Last, we started construction at Cobar Three, the 475 megawatt PV phase of the Cobar Complex, fully in line with our execution plan.

These developments further reinforce our ability to deliver large-scale solar plus storage projects with speed, discipline, and attractive economics, and supports our growth potential beyond 2028. In Europe, the opportunity is equally compelling. While renewable generation continues to expand rapidly, energy storage deployment has not kept pace, creating a systemic need for flexibility and balancing capacity. According to Wood Mackenzie, this need amounts to 1.4 terawatts of storage capacity by 2034 globally. This gap is structural, not cyclical, and supports attractive long-term economics for well-positioned storage projects. During the quarter, we continued to advance our European expansion and are now in advanced negotiations to expand our business in additional markets, including Finland and Romania, as part of our strategy to deepen our presence in high-potential storage markets.

Energy storage remains a core growth pillar for Enlight in Europe, with a vast portfolio of 14 gigawatt hour, of which 4.9 gigawatt hour in the mature portfolio fully aligned with our focus on disciplined capital allocation and attractive returns. In Middle East, North Africa, we’re deploying the full scope of Enlight’s capabilities, leveraging our position as a leading and trusted energy player. Israel remains a core market where we are active across utility-scale wind and solar, energy storage, agrivoltaics, and high-voltage infrastructure. Enlight’s position in Israel, combined with our unique expertise in different energy generation applications, enable us to significantly grow in Israel and develop new and innovative growth engines.

In agrivoltaics specifically, we continue to scale rapidly with dozens of land agreements signed over the past year, representing approximately 3 factored gigawatts of future solar capacity while strengthening synergies between energy generation and agriculture, enhancing food security and energy security at once. The agrivoltaics opportunity in Israel is huge. We estimate more than 120,000 acres will be needed to meet renewable energy targets by 2050, with a market size estimated at several billion dollars. At the same time, we’re advancing high-voltage storage projects in Israel totaling more than 2 factored gigawatt, which enhance grid flexibility and resilience while enabling us to optimize revenue generation. Looking ahead, we believe Israel is on track to become one of the countries with the highest energy storage capacity per capita globally, and we are well-positioned to take advantage of this opportunity.

Across the portfolio, execution continued at a strong pace. We advanced 0.5 factored gigawatt into construction during the quarter, mostly attributed to phase 3 in the Cobar Complex, advancing to construction and expanded our total portfolio to over 41 factored gigawatts, a sequential increase of 8%. Looking ahead, we expect approximately 7 factored gigawatts to be under construction during 2026, with over 90% of our mature portfolio either operating or under construction by year-end. This level of visibility is the outcome of years of disciplined development, extensive grid interconnection work, and proactive risk management. Stepping back to the broader demand environment, we continue to see structural growth in electricity demand, driven in part by the rapid adoption of AI and data-intensive applications and the resulting expansion of data centers.

Industry forecasts indicate that U.S. data center electricity consumption could triple by the end of the decade, requiring more than 300 terawatt hour of new capacity that is fast to deploy, scalable, and cost-effective. In this environment, solar combined with storage stands out. Compared to other generation technologies, it offers shorter time to market, meaningfully lower LCOE, and the flexibility required to support modern grids. Enlight is well-positioned to capture this demand, leveraging our large grid-ready sites, proven execution capabilities, and deep experience delivering solar plus storage at scale. The business environment in which we operate remains extremely favorable, with rising demand, constrained supply, and attractive equipment costs. Recent geopolitical disruptions, together with a sharp increase in oil and gas prices, have underscored the strategic importance of renewable energy as a reliable and competitive source. Turning to outlook. We are reaffirming our full year 2026 guidance.

Revenues and income of $755 million-$785 million and adjusted EBITDA of $545 million-$565 million. More importantly, we continue to stand firmly behind our long-term growth trajectory. With approximately 7 gigawatts expected to be under construction in 2026 and the vast majority of our mature portfolio either operating or under construction, we see a clear and credible path to more than $2.1 billion of annual revenue run rate by the end of 2028. This growth is anchored in projects already in hand, supported by strong and increasing returns and executed with discipline. Before I wrap up, let me summarize the key takeaways. We delivered a strong start to 2026 with excellent financial performance and execution momentum.

We continue to expand and de-risk our U.S. portfolio, advancing key milestones including system impact, study completion, safe harbor progression, and the start of construction at Cobar 3. We see utility scale growth opportunities in Middle East, North Africa, a market in which we have a significant competitive advantage. We’re well-positioned to capture structural demand growth and systemic grid needs, leveraging the speed, cost and flexibility of solar and storage. We remain focused on disciplined growth and long-term value creation while not compromising on returns, profitability and the strength of our balance sheet. With that, I will hand the call over to Jared.

Jared McKee, Chief Executive Officer, Clēnera: Thank you, Adi. In the U.S., Clenera continues to execute on its long-term growth strategy and remains firmly focused on disciplined construction execution, while at the same time expanding our portfolio and customer base. This quarter, we have continued to grow and advance our development portfolio across U.S. markets, led by significant progress in PJM. We’ve submitted interconnection applications within PJM for an additional 2,500 factored MW across 5 projects. PJM is a market with exceptional opportunities for new solar and storage, characterized by sustained utility demand, tight capacity dynamics, and attractive power pricing that supports long-term profitability. Our operating assets continue to demonstrate the quality and durability of our portfolio. Energy generation across operating projects has been stable and predictable. We continue to monitor uptime closely. Clenera is currently constructing 6 projects totaling 3.4 factored GW.

Our construction portfolio reflects deliberate investments in our internal processes, targeted hiring and retention, and long-standing relationships with tier 1 suppliers and contractors. It also demonstrates our ability to consistently deliver approximately 2 factored GW annually. As a result, the construction progress we are reporting today reflects our expected baseline delivery level and our confidence in achieving commercial operations year after year. At the Cobar Complex in northwest Arizona, ground clearing and other site construction activities are underway on the third phase of the project. Phases 1 and 2 are in full construction and making steady progress. Combined, these 3 phases include nearly 1.5 factored GW. Initial CODs are on track for the second half of 2027, with CODs for the following phases in first half of 2028.

For the final 2 phases of the Cobar Complex, Cobar four and five, we have secured a domestic source for the batteries totaling 3,176 MWh. Our sourcing strategy mitigates tariff and supply chain risks for these critical phases. In northeast Arizona, progress is steady at the construction of the Snowflake Complex. The first phase, Snowflake A, includes 594 MW of PV generation and 1,900 MWh of energy storage. We are near the halfway mark of installing both the PV and battery components and remain on target for COD in the second half of 2027. The Country Acres project outside of Sacramento, California, remains on schedule for a COD at the end of this year. This project includes 403 MW PV and 688 MWh of energy storage.

When operational, it will generate enough energy to power over 85,000 California homes. Work is underway at Crimson Orchard project located in Elmore County, Idaho. This project includes 120 megawatts of PV generation and 400 megawatt hours of energy storage. Spring weather has allowed us to make significant progress on the project’s civil work and prepare the site for major equipment deliveries. Foundation work has begun for the batteries and switchyard. Our market strength has once again been confirmed with the closing of the construction financing package in March, totaling $304 million for the Crimson Orchard project. This clears the path for the project’s successful commercial operation in 2027. Taking a step back from specific projects, I want to offer an update on our supply chain.

Despite global disruptions in shipping due to geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, we have seen limited exposure to availability or pricing of our materials. Looking ahead, we may see ripple effects on the supply chain and logistic inputs. Nevertheless, we continue to enhance our diverse pool of supplier resources, including U.S. domestic manufacturing, to give us flexibility and resilience in the face of uncertainty. With one of the largest U.S. solar and storage construction pipelines, we are well-positioned to be a preferred counterparty for our suppliers and vendors. To close, Clenera remains firmly focused on what matters most to our investors. Executing large-scale construction projects on schedule, maintaining reliable operating performance, advancing a deep and diversified development pipeline, and expanding our customer base thoughtfully and strategically. I will now turn the phone over to Nir.

Nir Yehuda, Chief Financial Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: Thank you, Jared. Q1 2026 delivered a strong start to the year, setting the foundation for the quarters ahead. The company’s total revenues and income increased to $200 million, up from $130 million last year, a growth rate of 54% year-over-year. This was composed of revenues from the sale of electricity, which amounted to $157 million, an increase of $47 million from the first quarter of 2025, as well as recognition of $43 million in income from tax benefit. An increase of $23 million from Q1 2025 attributed to the new operational project, Roadrunner and Quail Ranch. The increase in revenues from the sale of electricity was driven mainly by new projects, which contributed $16 million to revenues growth. It was also a strong quarter for our wind project, with increased generation contributing $14 million.

Electricity trade activity in Israel roughly doubled from last year, contributing $6 million to revenues growth. Finally, the appreciation of the Israeli shekel and Euro versus the U.S. dollar contributed $12 million. The company-adjusted EBITDA grew by 70% to $154 million compared to $132 million for the same period in 2025. Excluding the contribution of $42 million from the sale of 44% of the Sunlight cluster in Q1 2025 and follow-on sale of 11% of the cluster in Q1 2026, which contributed $12 million. EBITDA in Q1 2026 grew by 58% or $52 million. The increase of $70 million in revenue was offset by an additional $70 million in cost of sales linked to new projects and to the increase in electricity trade activity in Israel, while G&A and project development expenses increased by $6 million.

In contrast, other income increased by $5 million. First quarter net income amounted to $38 million, compared to $102 million in Q1 2025 and $21 million excluding the Sunlight cluster sale contribution. An increase of $52 million in EBITDA was partially offset by an increase of $70 million in depreciation and amortization attributable to the start of operation of new projects, as well as an increase of $4 million in expense related to share-based compensation. Additionally, net financial expenses increased by $12 million, mainly as a result of the commercial operation of new projects, and tax expenses increased by $4 million, net of the Sunlight sale impact.

During the first quarter, Enlight continued to solidify its financial position, raising approximately $740 million, mainly from a private placement of 6 million shares to Israeli institutional investors for $422 million and $304 million from project finance. In total, our cash and cash equivalents at the top co level increased to $709 million. Additionally, we have $270 million held by subsidiaries. We have $525 million of credit facility with $360 million available and approximately $1.6 billion in LC and surety bond facility, including $1 billion available, further enhancing our financial flexibility. Our solid financial position and intellectual resources will continue to support our growth towards the $2 billion revenue mark and beyond. I will now turn the call over to the operator for questions.

Operator: Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, you will need to press star one one on your telephone. To remove yourself from the queue, you may press star one one again. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from the line of Justin Clare of Roth Capital Partners. Your line is open, Justin.

Justin Clare, Analyst, Roth Capital Partners: Hi, thanks for taking our questions here, and congrats on the strong results.

Adi Leviatan, Chief Executive Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: Thanks, Justin. Nice to hear from you.

Justin Clare, Analyst, Roth Capital Partners: Yes. Yeah, likewise. Wanted to start out just asking about the unlevered returns here. It looks like the expectation for under construction and pre-construction projects increased to 13%. I think that’s up from 12%-13% last quarter and then 11%-12% a couple of quarters ago. Just wondering if you could speak to what’s driving the improvement. Is this better PPA pricing, lower equipment costs or other factors here? Are you seeing further opportunity for improvements in the return profile, let’s say for future projects that are moving through the pipeline today?

Adi Leviatan, Chief Executive Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: Thanks again for the question. I will give a little bit of an answer, and I will also pass it over to my colleague, Itay Benayan, the Chief Corporate Development Officer. We are constantly working on improving the rates of return in our projects. The projects that are currently under construction and pre-construction, we continue to do optimization work on the capital expenditure and on other aspects. Specifically, in this case, we did significant work to further improve the profitability or to further reduce the CapEx on Cobar storage components of these projects, changing the sources of supplies for the batteries to different suppliers, also making us eligible in this case for domestic content.

A double win in that sense. We did additional moves, which we constantly, again, do to try to improve the economics of our projects, thereby reaching this 13% solidly. I’ll pass it over to Itay Benayan, our Chief Corporate Development Officer.

Itay Benayan, Chief Corporate Development Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: Hey, Justin. Good to hear from you. Yeah, everything that Adi said, and in general, it’s something that we’re very proud of. On the same slide, you see that the first 3.9 actual GW that we connected to the grid over 17 years or so. Now we are in the process of the construction and reconstruction of 7.7. Almost doubling in 1 year or in 2 years, everything that we did in 17 years. At the same time, we’re improving and enjoying the economies of scale and the reduction in CapEx, the increase in the PPAs, and it’s a global phenomenon.

We are, we’re not only growing, but we’re constantly improving putting a lot of attention on profitability, on cash flows, on the balance sheet, and so on.

Justin Clare, Analyst, Roth Capital Partners: Okay, great. Yeah, it’s good to see the improvements in the return profile here. Maybe just shifting over to the operational capacity here. It looks like the outlook for 2027 was reduced a little bit to 7.3 factor gigawatts, down from 8 last quarter, the ARR was stepped down to $1.4 billion from $1.6 billion. Wondering if you could just walk through that change, you know, what potentially shifted out of the 2027 timeframe. It does look like 2028 is remains intact in terms of your outlook there. Just wondering, is this a matter of just project timing or any other factors?

Adi Leviatan, Chief Executive Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: Yes, it actually relates to the previous point as well. For specifically the purpose of improving further the rate of return on the Cobar 4 and 5, the parts that are standalone storage in Cobar. We actually did change the suppliers of the BESS, the battery energy storage system, and therefore had to do some re-engineering on site, which pushed the project’s COD, like commercial operation date, just from the end of 2027 into the beginning of 2028. Similarly, one additional project, Europe project, Berdagove, which was also pushed forward just by a very short amount of time.

Generally speaking, we like that these projects, you know, that we have one chance to get them, you know, to get them right, and then they’re going to be producing electricity and revenues for us for 20, 25, 30 years. To push them out by a month or by a couple of months is something that we sometimes do in order to improve them. They are all connecting, just a very short delay, which is a natural, normal course of the developer’s life.

Justin Clare, Analyst, Roth Capital Partners: Got it. Okay. Makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the time.

Adi Leviatan, Chief Executive Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: Thank you, Justin.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jon Windham of UBS. Your line is open, Jon.

Jon Windham, Analyst, UBS: Hey, perfect. Thanks for taking the questions this morning. I guess I have just a bigger picture question. You know, through your Clenera subsidiary, you’re gonna be one of the largest customers for stationary storage in the U.S. over the next 5+ years. I’m wondering, there’s been a number of announcements of new entrants into the stationary storage market, namely LG Energy Solution, General Motors, and Ford. Have you had dialogues with any of these potential new suppliers, and how do you think that plays out in the supply-demand balance and pricing for batteries in the future? Thanks.

Adi Leviatan, Chief Executive Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: Thank you for the question. I would like to ask Jared, if you’re comfortable taking this question forward.

Jared McKee, Chief Executive Officer, Clēnera: Absolutely, Adi Leviatan. Thank you for the question, and thank you for your insight into the market. We are constantly talking with potential suppliers on the battery and on the PV side. Specifically on the battery side, we welcome new domestic suppliers opening operations and manufacturing facilities in the U.S. It both adds rigidity and robustness to the supply chain, and allows us to secure both domestic sources and reduce our risk overall from any sort of geopolitical occurrences throughout the world. We are engaged with multiple suppliers on the battery side. As these battery manufacturing facilities get built out, the supply continues to grow, this supply being distributed to, you know, the same amount of projects.

We do like the supply and demand curve that this provides for us, and we expect that we will have very effective negotiations over the next period of time with our potential suppliers. It gives us the ability to leverage our portfolio. As you mentioned, we will be one of the larger customers in the U.S. for stationary BESS, and we intend to continue to deliver results like we shared today, where we are constantly increasing the profile of our projects and making them better.

Jon Windham, Analyst, UBS: Thank you so much for that. That was really helpful. Be well.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Corinne Blanchard of Deutsche Bank. Your line is open, Corinne.

Corinne Blanchard, Analyst, Deutsche Bank: Hi, good morning. Thank you for taking my question. The first question, can you talk about the cadence that you are expecting for the rest of the year? I think Q1, Q2 is showing a little bit of paper seasonality maybe than we had anticipated. I’m just wondering now that the rest of the year is going to shape up. Maybe the second question, can you talk about the safe harbor in your portfolio and how that has evolved during Q1, Q2? Thank you.

Itay Benayan, Chief Corporate Development Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: Corinne, hey, good to hear from you. This is Itay. What was the second part of the question?

Adi Leviatan, Chief Executive Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: Safe harbor.

Itay Benayan, Chief Corporate Development Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: Oh, safe harbor. Okay.

Adi Leviatan, Chief Executive Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: Start with the.

Itay Benayan, Chief Corporate Development Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: With the first half of the question, in terms of the seasonality, the quarter and the year indeed started very strong and exceeded our expectations. Nevertheless, we do anticipated seasonality over the year. The first quarter is usually a very strong quarter in terms of wind, and it was even better than we anticipated. In general, as Adi mentioned, during the call, we are keeping our guidance for the year intact. This is only the first quarter. As I mentioned, there was some gap with the consensus, but our internal expectations were not that far away. In terms of safe harboring.

Adi Leviatan, Chief Executive Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: We do have the opportunity to safe harbor an additional 2 to 4 factor gigawatt in the next couple of months until basically the end of June. It is completely at our discretion. Obviously, as you know, projects that are being safe harbored, we need to then maintain activities like full activity, construction activity at the site from when we safe harbor them until their completion. We need to make sure that they are connected, that they arrive at commercial operations before the end of 2030. We are taking our decisions to, from the 2 to 4 factor gigawatt, you know, additional that we have options to safe harbor to bring the total amount to 15 to 17 factor gigawatt of safe harbor. We’re taking those decisions in the next couple of months.

Jared, anything to add on the safe harbor point?

Jared McKee, Chief Executive Officer, Clēnera: Yeah, just that we are actively pursuing. The projects are being safe harbored through physical work of a significant nature, both on-site and off-site. Adi, I think you shared the numbers most accurately. Yeah, we are excited to have this large portfolio of projects to be able to pull from over the next really several years of commissioning and CODs.

Adi Leviatan, Chief Executive Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: I will come back just to say, Corinne, that when the One Big Beautiful Bill Act came out in May last year, exactly a year ago, there was obviously concern. At the time, we promised or we anticipated that we would be able to safe harbor 6 to 8 factor gigawatt of projects by the end of 2028. We’re now standing here towards the 16, 13+. 15 to 17 factor gigawatts that we would be able to safe harbor by the end of 2030. Significantly more than we predicted at the time. We’re really making the most of the safe harbor regime as long as it’s in place.

We also are very confident about our ability to successfully develop and execute projects in the U.S. after the end of that regime. We have enough time, you know, for that in solar projects after the end of 2030 and for storage projects even after the end of 2030 too.

Corinne Blanchard, Analyst, Deutsche Bank: Right. Thank you. Can I ask one more follow-up question? Can you talk about the 2028 target since you might be able to raise it or we kind of felt from the presentation you have like $100 million ahead of the target. Can you just give a little bit more thought on that one? Thank you.

Adi Leviatan, Chief Executive Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: We give the 2028 annual run rate as we forecasted today. The component that is today, the $2.1 billion of this, is already today in the mature portion of our portfolio. There’s additional projects that are currently not yet in the mature. They’re in advanced development, nevertheless, they will make it to be connected by the end of 2028, which is why there’s that $2.1 billion-$2.3 billion range. At this point, we cannot give a more accurate number, that is the composition of the number.

Itay Benayan, Chief Corporate Development Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: Corinne, you can see that over the last couple of quarters, the percentage of the mature portfolio outside of the 2028 roadmap has increased over time. With the start of construction of additional 3 factor gigawatts this year, the vast majority of the 2028 plan is going to be either operating or under construction this year. That’s reducing significantly any development risk and increasing the certainty that we’re to stand behind this roadmap. Again, you can see with all of the safe harboring that we’re doing and the increase of the portfolio in the development and the advanced development that we are looking ahead at the growth beyond 2028.

There is a lot of materials in the presentation and the earning release when you analyze the portfolio to see that there is significant potential beyond 2028.

Corinne Blanchard, Analyst, Deutsche Bank: Great. Thank you.

Operator: Thank you. Once again, to ask a question, please press star one one on your telephone. Again, that’s star one one to ask a question. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Maheep Mandloi of Mizuho. Your line is open, Maheep.

Maheep Mandloi, Analyst, Mizuho: Hey, thanks for taking the questions. Maybe just like a follow-up on this safe harbor and on slide 16. Seems like the main bottleneck for new projects is the interconnection of this completed system impact study, right? I’m just trying to, curious, like, if you could see more of the safe harbor come through before June and kind of fed this 19.9, which you already have completed the system impact study for. Just curious, like, what would it take for safe harbor to ramp up to match that number? Thanks.

Adi Leviatan, Chief Executive Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: Hi, Maheep. It’s nice to hear from you. Jared, I’m gonna please redirect the question to you.

Jared McKee, Chief Executive Officer, Clēnera: Yeah, no problem. Maheep, my apologies. I had a hard time hearing. Do you mind actually rephrasing the question? I just wanna make sure I can answer it accurately.

Maheep Mandloi, Analyst, Mizuho: Yeah, sure. like, talking to some of the developers or the industry, it looks like the interconnection is probably like a bigger bottleneck to get projects online by 2030, rather than just safe harbor. So it seems like if you have, given you have 19.9 factor GW of completed system impact study, can safe harbor ramp up to match that 19.9 by July 4th of this year? Just curious, like, you know, what would it take for safe harbor to grow from this 15, 16, 17 GW to almost 25 GW you have completed system impact study for?

Jared McKee, Chief Executive Officer, Clēnera: Got it. Okay. Just to confirm, it’s really asking, is there the ability to match the Safe Harbor numbers with the completed system impact study that’s sitting right around 20 gigawatts? Is that accurate?

Maheep Mandloi, Analyst, Mizuho: That’s right.

Jared McKee, Chief Executive Officer, Clēnera: As you can see, one, we are very proud of the fact that we have 20 gigawatts of projects that have completed system impact study. This actually shows the success of what we are doing here in the U.S. at the Clēnera side, along with everyone at the Enlight team, is to really go through and successfully go through that part of the process. On the safe harbor side, as Adi mentioned, we have optionality. What we are looking at is we are making a very strategic decision, project by project, to make sure that invested dollars into safe harbor and the work of significant nature is for projects that have ability to advance and COD by 2030.

There are going to be some projects out of that 20 factor gigawatts that have timelines due to interconnection or other criteria that is going to be beyond the 2030 timeframe. We probably won’t see the Safe Harbor number go up to 20 gigawatts because there is going to be some projects. As Adi mentioned, we are already significantly farther along on the Safe Harbor process for the majority of our portfolio than we had previously announced. There is some opportunity to hit that top end and maybe even a little bit more of the Safe Harbor on that 15-17 that Adi mentioned.

The likelihood that it gets up to the 20 from a strategic standpoint is not completely likely, just due to the fact that some of those 20 gigawatts are going to come online after 2030.

Maheep Mandloi, Analyst, Mizuho: Got it. That is helpful. Are you seeing any interest from customers to have behind the meter solar? Presumably, that might not require interconnection study, right, I think. The limit over there would be how much should be able to safe harbor, right? Just curious if you’re seeing any customers ask about island labor behind the meter solar for you.

Jared McKee, Chief Executive Officer, Clēnera: We’ve definitely seen this in the marketplace. I think our focus has been, we have enough projects that are already through the system impact study, that the projects that we are looking at by 2030 are those that are going to be connected to the grid. We have seen interest in the marketplace, both from large load customers, to really look at behind the meter solutions. We are always actively looking at ways to expand and to grow, and so we are looking at those types of opportunities. Our focus is really on our core business, which is very robust projects through the interconnection by utilities that we can deliver on, and we have 20 gigawatts of projects that we can choose from.

Out of that 20 GW, we have another 15-17 that we’re gonna have safe harbor. That is a very robust pipeline through the next four years.

Maheep Mandloi, Analyst, Mizuho: Yeah, I appreciate that. Just 1 last one, just on cash sources. Like, if you can comment on how much of the current cash or what you might have in 2 years can support growth beyond this 12-13 gigawatt, post-2028.

Itay Benayan, Chief Corporate Development Officer, Enlight Renewable Energy: To remind, we have very strong access to capital globally, both at the assets level, with project finance from tier 1 lenders and at the corporate level with the access both to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq, which we’re seeing an improved liquidity, significant improved liquidity in the past year. At the moment, there are details in the earnings release on the sources that we have on hand. At the moment, we have significant amounts to support the 2028 plan and beyond. We don’t need any outside resources of capital in order to support the 2028 plan and a significant factor of gigawatts beyond it.

Maheep Mandloi, Analyst, Mizuho: Appreciate it. Thank you.
