Ormat Technologies Inc. (NYSE:ORA), a leading geothermal and renewable energy company, today announced it has successfully secured 1,678 acres in Utah's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Auction. These lease acquisitions will significantly support Ormat's ongoing operations and development projects in the state, further strengthening the company's commitment to advancing renewable energy solutions and meeting Utah's increasing demand for sustainable energy.

The newly leased acres should allow Ormat to develop two new power plants near our Cove Fort facility in Utah. Exploration work on the first plant (Cove Fort 2) is expected to begin in 2025 and, pending resource availability, we expect the project to achieve a Commercial Operation Date in 2027. The second plant (Cove Fort North) will be developed at a later stage.
