Speaker #3: Returns for best projects in Europe are elevated due to the extreme shortage in energy storage, a trend we see as an opportunity for Enlite's storage position.

Speaker #2: Thank you, Jared. Moving to Europe. Where we continue to build our position as one of the leading utility scale renewable and storage developers in the continent.

Speaker #3: Production of wind and solar in the Finnish market is expected to more than double by 2030, leading to a more than 10-fold growth in demand for storage.

Speaker #2: During Q2, we entered a new market, Romania, and significantly expanded our position in Finland. In Finland, where renewables make up 65% of electricity generation, we acquired three storage projects with a total storage capacity of more than 1.4 gigawatt-hours to meet the high demand for storage.

Speaker #3: The acquisition of these ready-to-build projects will strengthen our footprint in the Nordics and establish Enlite as an early mover in Finland's energy storage market, providing a strong foundation to become a leading player as the market develops.

Speaker #3: In Romania, we acquired the Karpen cluster, adding 848 megawatt-hours of storage capacity at an expected unlevered return of approximately 17%. This cluster is included in our pre-construction portfolio.

Speaker #2: Two of the projects with a total capacity of 902 megawatt hour started construction, and the third is expected to start construction later this year.

Speaker #3: With commercial operations expected to begin in phases, from the second half of 2028 through the first half of 2029. Romania remains an earlier stage renewables market, with wind and solar generation expected to double by 2040, and storage demand projected to more than triple between 2026 and 2030.

Speaker #2: Commercial operation dates for all three projects are planned for the first half of 2028, generating more than $50 million of EBITDA and reflecting a combined unlevered return of about 16.5% in the first full year of operation.

Speaker #2: Returns for the best projects in Europe are elevated due to the extreme shortage in energy storage, a trend we see as an opportunity for Enlight's storage position.

Speaker #3: More broadly, Europe continues to offer attractive opportunities for scaled IPPs and developers. The regulatory environment increasingly favors companies with strong balance sheets, established regional infrastructure, and the execution capabilities to finance, build, and operate projects at scale.

Speaker #2: Production of wind and solar in the Finnish market is expected to more than double by 2030, leading to more than a tenfold increase in demand for storage.

Speaker #2: The acquisition of these ready-to-build projects will strengthen our footprint in the Nordics and establish Enlight as an early mover in Finland's energy storage market, providing a strong foundation to become a leading player as the market develops.

Speaker #3: The breadth of milestones achieved this quarter underscores the strength of our execution, our total portfolio grew by 4.6% sequentially, to 43.1-factor gigawatt, while the mature component comprising operating, under-construction, and pre-construction projects increased by 6%, to 12.3-factor gigawatt.

Speaker #2: In Romania, we acquired the Carpen Cluster, adding 848 megawatt-hours of storage capacity at an expected unlevered return of approximately 17%. This cluster is included in our pre-construction portfolio.

Speaker #3: Further expanding the portion of our portfolio closest to revenue generation. We made meaningful progress across every stage of the portfolio. Growth in the mature component was supported by targeted acquisitions in Finland and Romania, while construction commenced on the 880 megawatt-hour Burtigove battery storage project in Germany, which remains on track for commercial operation in the first half of 2028.

Speaker #2: With commercial operations expected to begin in phases, from the second half of 2028 through the first half of 2029, Romania remains an earlier-stage renewables market, with wind and solar generation expected to double by 2040, and storage demand projected to more than triple between 2026 and 2030.

Speaker #2: More broadly, Europe continues to offer attractive opportunities for scaled IPPs and developers. The regulatory environment increasingly favors companies with strong balance sheets, established regional infrastructure, and the execution capabilities to finance, build, and operate projects at scale.

Speaker #3: We also advanced approximately 850 factored megawatt from development into advanced development, and added two factored gigawatt to our US development portfolio. Primarily across Kaizo, PJM, and SPP.

Speaker #3: Markets that represent important new growth platforms for Enlite. This progress has translated directly into our 2028 roadmap. The estimated annual revenues and income associated with the mature component of our portfolio increased from approximately 2.1 billion dollars to 2.3 billion dollars.

Speaker #2: The breadth of milestones achieved this quarter underscores the strength of our execution. Our total portfolio grew by 4.6% sequentially to 43.1 factored gigawatt, while the mature component comprising operating, under construction, and pre-construction projects increased by 6% to 12.3 factored gigawatt.

Speaker #3: The construction momentum that began in 2025 has accelerated meaningfully through 2026. These are defining build-out years for Enlite. During which we are deploying substantial capital and converting our mature portfolio into operating assets.

Speaker #2: Further expanding the portion of our portfolio closest to revenue generation, we made meaningful progress across every stage of the portfolio. Growth in the mature component was supported by targeted acquisitions in Finland and Romania.

Speaker #3: With additional 2.7 factored gigawatt expected to begin construction, we expect to have more than 7 factored gigawatts under construction by the end of 2026.

Speaker #2: While construction commenced on the 880 megawatt-hour Berdegov battery storage project in Germany, which remains on track for commercial operation in the first half of 2028.

Speaker #3: Positioning the company for a significant wave of commercial operations in 2027 and 2028, and putting us firmly on track to tripling our operating capacity.

Speaker #2: We also advanced approximately 850 factored megawatts from development into advanced development and added two factored gigawatts to our U.S. development portfolio, primarily across CAISO, PJM, and SPP.

Speaker #3: By end of year 2026, we expect more than 90% of our mature portfolio to be either operating or under construction. This provides a high degree of visibility into the next phase of growth, as projects built progressively reach COD and begin contributing revenues and cash flow through 2027 and 2028.

Speaker #2: Markets that represent important new growth platforms for Enlight. This progress has translated directly into our 2028 roadmap. The estimated annual revenues and income associated with the mature component of our portfolio increased from approximately $2.1 billion to $2.3 billion.

Speaker #3: The scale of this build-out is evident in our capital deployment. Capital expenditure doubled in the first half of the year to 1.3 billion dollars compared to same period last year.

Speaker #2: The construction momentum that began in 2025 has accelerated meaningfully through 2026. These are defining build-out years for Enlight, during which we are deploying substantial capital and converting our mature portfolio into operating assets.

Speaker #3: About 50% of equity required was already invested, with approximately 1.2 billion dollars of liquidity on hand to support roughly 700 million dollars of remaining equity investments required.

Speaker #2: With an additional 2.7 factored gigawatts expected to begin construction, we expect to have more than seven factored gigawatts under construction by the end of 2026.

Speaker #3: And approximately 69% of the required project financing has already been secured. I want to spend a moment on our data center strategy. Which we view as a pivotal new growth engine for Enlite one that builds directly on the capabilities assets and market presence of our existing renewable energy platform.

Speaker #2: Positioning the company for a significant wave of commercial operations in 2027 and 2028, and putting us firmly on track to triple our operating capacity.

Speaker #2: By end of year 2026, we expect more than 90% of our mature portfolio to be either operating or under construction. This provides a high degree of visibility into the next phase of growth, as projects built progressively reach COD and begin contributing revenues and cash flow through 2027 and 2028.

Speaker #3: Our pipeline consists of around 2 gigawatt IT of data center capacity, across the United States, Israel, and Europe. Our strategy targets near-generation large-scale facilities exceeding 100 megawatt IT.

Speaker #2: The scale of this build-out is evident in our capital deployment. Capital expenditure doubled in the first half of the year to $1.3 billion, compared to the same period last year.

Speaker #3: In a select group of markets where we believe the energy fundamentals provide a distinct advantage. These locations combine access to scalable generation and storage, suitable land, and critical grid infrastructure capabilities that are becoming increasingly valuable as access to power emerges as the principal constraint on data center growth.

Speaker #2: About 50% of equity required was already invested, with approximately 1.2 billion dollars of liquidity on hand to support roughly 700 million dollars of remaining equity investments required.

Speaker #3: The strategic fit is compelling. Our renewable operations provide many of the core inputs required by hyperscalers and co-locators. Large, grid-connected sites, access to generation and storage, and deep expertise in developing, financing, constructing, and operating complex energy infrastructure.

Speaker #2: And approximately 69% of the required project financing has already been secured. I want to spend a moment on our data center strategy. Which we view as a pivotal new growth engine for Enlight, one that builds directly on the capabilities assets and market presence of our existing renewable energy platform.

Speaker #3: By integrating data centers alongside these assets, we can create a differentiated proposition centered on reliable, cost-effective, and lower-carbon power. We expect CapEx investments to begin in 2027 for certain data center assets as selected initiatives advance towards construction.

Speaker #2: Our pipeline consists of around two gigawatt IT of data center capacity across the United States Israel and Europe. Our strategy targets near generation large scale facilities exceeding 100 megawatt IT.

Speaker #3: Importantly, our roadmap through 2028 does not currently include any contribution from the data center platform. That will provide the next wave of growth for Enlite.

Speaker #2: In a select group of markets where we believe the energy fundamentals provide a distinct advantage. These locations combine access to scalable generation and storage.

Speaker #3: Enlite has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to identify early transformative market trends and convert that insight into value creation. We believe our data center initiative represents the company's next significant growth engine.

Speaker #2: Suitable land and critical grid infrastructure. Capabilities that are becoming increasingly valuable as access to power emerges as the principal constraint on data center growth.

Speaker #2: The strategic fit is compelling. Our renewable operations provide many of the core inputs required by hyperscalers and co-locators: large grid-connected sites, access to generation and storage, and deep expertise in developing, financing, constructing, and operating complex energy infrastructure.

Speaker #3: Supporting continued expansion well beyond 2028. Based on our three-year business roadmap, our operating capacity is expected to reach about 12 factory gigawatt, translated into annual recurring revenue and income of more than 2.2 billion dollars.

Speaker #3: This is an increase of about 100 million dollars from the previous quarter. Our mature portfolio revenues and income are now surpassing the 2028 annual recurring revenue level after growing by 200 million dollars from the previous quarter.

Speaker #2: By integrating data centers alongside these assets, we can create a differentiated proposition centered on reliable, cost-effective, and lower-carbon power. We expect CAPEX investments to begin in 2027 for certain data center assets, as selected initiatives advance towards construction.

Speaker #3: As we see mature projects expected to come online during 2029. The path to 2.2 to 2.3 billion dollars in ARR by end of 2028 is anchored in projects we already own with financing increasingly in place and CapEx being deployed.

Speaker #2: Importantly, our roadmap through 2028 does not currently include any contribution from the data center platform. That will provide the next wave of growth for Enlight.

Speaker #3: Enlite's growth story is not just about scale. It is about disciplined returns as well. Our under- and pre-construction portfolio of 8.4 factor gigawatt is expected to deliver approximately 13% unlevered project returns implying a return on equity above 18% after leverage.

Speaker #2: Enlight has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to identify early, transformative market trends and convert that insight into value creation. We believe our data center initiative represents the company's next significant growth engine.

Speaker #2: Supporting continued expansion well beyond 2028. Based on our three-year business roadmap, our operating capacity is expected to reach about 12 factored gigawatts, translating into annual recurring revenue and income of more than $2.2 billion.

Speaker #3: We are actively capitalizing on the opportunities across our markets while growing with discipline. Protecting returns maintaining balance sheet strength and ensuring that every project meets our threshold for long-term shareholder value creation.

Speaker #2: This is an increase of about 100 million dollars from the previous quarter. Our mature portfolio revenues and income are now surpassing the 2028 annual recurring revenue level after growing by 200 million dollars from the previous quarter.

Speaker #3: The business environment in which Enlite operates in is, in our view, the most favorable it has been and it meets Enlite at its strongest position.

Speaker #2: As we see mature projects expected to come online during 2029, the path to $2.2 to $2.3 billion in ARR by the end of 2028 is anchored in projects we already own, with financing increasingly in place and CAPEX being deployed.

Speaker #3: Electricity demand is accelerating. Driven by AI and data center expansion, industrial electrification, and the broader energy transition. In the United States alone, data center electricity consumption is expected to triple between 2025 to 2030.

Speaker #3: Creating an urgent need for substantial new capacity that can be deployed rapidly economically and at scale. Solar plus storage among our strongest growth engines is exceptionally well suited to meet this demand.

Speaker #2: Enlight's growth story is not just about scale; it is about disciplined returns as well. Our under- and pre-construction portfolio of 8.4 factored gigawatts is expected to deliver approximately 13% unlevered project returns, implying a return on equity above 18% after leverage.

Speaker #3: It offers a shorter time to market and attractive cost of energy and the operational flexibility increasingly required by modern power systems. These fundamentals are reinforced by greater regulatory clarity in the United States and Europe.

Speaker #2: We are actively capitalizing on the opportunities across our markets while growing with discipline. Protecting returns maintaining balance sheet strength and ensuring that every project meets our threshold for long-term shareholder value creation.

Speaker #3: Attractive equipment costs for solar and storage and an industry-wide consolidation process that increasingly favors scaled well-capitalized operators. This is where Enlite is particularly well positioned.

Speaker #2: The business environment in which Enlight operates, in our view, is the most favorable it has been, and it meets Enlight at its strongest position.

Speaker #3: Our global operating platform, strong financial capacity, proven execution, large portfolio of grid-ready sites, and a global network of top-tier partners give us the ability to convert these market conditions into disciplined and continuous high-return growth.

Speaker #2: Electricity demand is accelerating. Driven by AI and data center expansion, industrial electrification, and the broader energy transition. In the United States alone, data center electricity consumption is expected to triple between 2025 to 2030.

Speaker #3: Before we turn to questions, let me leave you with four key takeaways from the quarter. First, we delivered record results and raised our 2026 outlook and the 2028 roadmap, reflecting the continued scaling of our operating portfolio the quality of our underlying assets and our confidence in the remainder of the year.

Speaker #2: Creating an urgent need for substantial new capacity that can be deployed rapidly economically and at scale. Solar plus storage among our strongest growth engines is exceptionally well suited to meet this demand.

Speaker #2: It offers a shorter time to market and attractive cost of energy and the operational flexibility increasingly required by modern power systems. These fundamentals are reinforced by greater regulatory clarity in the United States and Europe.

Speaker #3: Second, the milestones achieved this quarter including the COBAR financial close the Google PPA in Oklahoma exceeding our safe harbor targets and our expansion into Finland and Romania demonstrate our ability to execute at scale.

Speaker #2: Attractive equipment costs for solar and storage and an industry-wide consolidation process that increasingly favors scaled well-capitalized operators. This is where Enlight is particularly well positioned.

Speaker #3: Broaden our commercial reach and strengthen the resilience of our portfolio. Third, 2025 and 2026 are defining build-out years for Enlite. With a mature portfolio of 12.3 factored gigawatt and more than 90% expected to be operating or under construction by year-end, we have clear visibility into a substantial wave of CODs revenues and cash flows through 2027 and 2028.

Speaker #2: Our global operating platform, strong financial capacity, proven execution, large portfolio of grid-ready sites, and a global network of top-tier partners give us the ability to convert these market conditions into disciplined and continuous, high-return growth.

Speaker #2: Before we turn to questions, let me leave you with four key takeaways from the quarter. First, we delivered record results and raised our 2026 outlook and the 2028 roadmap, reflecting the continued scaling of our operating portfolio, the quality of our underlying assets, and our confidence in the remainder of the year.

Speaker #3: Fourth, we are entering this next phase from a position of strength. With the diversified global platform, a well-funded mature portfolio, proven execution capabilities a strong management team and highly favorable market fundamentals.

Speaker #3: Our priorities remain clear. Execute with excellence, allocate capital with discipline, and translate the opportunities across our markets into durable long-term value for shareholders. None of this would be possible without the talent and commitment of our people.

Speaker #2: Second, the milestones achieved this quarter including the COBAR financial close the Google PPA in Oklahoma exceeding our safe harbor targets and our expansion into Finland and Romania demonstrate our ability to execute at scale.

Speaker #3: With that, I will open the call for questions.

Speaker #2: Broaden our commercial reach and strengthen the resilience of our portfolio. Third, 2025 and 2026 are defining build-out years for Enlight. With a mature portfolio of 12.3 factored gigawatt and more than 90% expected to be operating or under construction by year-end, we have clear visibility into a substantial wave of CODs revenues and cash flows through 2027 and 2028.

Speaker #1: Thank you. To ask a question, you will need to press star one and one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced.

Speaker #1: To withdraw your question, please press star one and one again. Thank you. We will now go to our first question. One moment, please. And our first question today comes from the line of Justin Clare from Roth Capital Partners.

Speaker #1: Please go ahead.

Speaker #2: Hi. Thanks for the time and congratulations on the strong result.

Speaker #2: Fourth, we are entering this next phase from a position of strength. With the diversified global platform, a well-funded mature portfolio, proven execution capabilities a strong management team and highly favorable market fundamentals.

Speaker #3: Thank you, Justin.

Speaker #2: Yep. So we wanted to start out just on the updated guidance here. So it looks like the updated guide implies a lower revenue and adjusted EBITDA in the second half versus the first half.

Speaker #2: Our priorities remain clear. Execute with excellence, allocate capital with discipline, and translate the opportunities across our markets into durable long-term value for shareholders. None of this would be possible without the talent and commitment of our people.

Speaker #2: And was just wondering if you could help us understand the drivers of that step down. How much of it reflects just normal seasonality versus potentially lower assumptions for electricity prices or other factors?

Speaker #3: Thank you so much for the question. I'm actually going to ask Itai Banayan, the Chief Corporate Development Officer, to answer this one.

Speaker #2: With that, I will open the call for questions.

Speaker #4: Justin, good morning. As you remember, we have the trading activity in Israel. It is an activity that helps us expand the dollar profits on our assets.

Speaker #1: Thank you. You need to press star one one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. To withdraw your question, please press star one one again.

Speaker #1: Thank you. We will now go to our first question. One moment please. And our first question today comes from the line of Justin Claire from Roth Capital Partners.

Speaker #4: But this activity is also characterized by a lower EBITDA margin. And we see this activity growing in Israel. And it's part of the contribution to the growth in the revenues.

Speaker #1: Please go ahead.

Speaker #3: Hi. Thanks for your time, and congratulations on the strong result.

Speaker #4: But also creates somewhat of a lower overall margin. Is this am I asking am I answering the right is this what we asked?

Speaker #2: Thank you, Justin.

Speaker #3: Yep. So we wanted to start out just on the updated guidance here. So it looks like the updated guide implies a lower revenue and adjusted EBITDA in the second half versus the first half.

Speaker #3: HQ?

Speaker #4: Yes. Yeah. I'm just I'm trying to understand

Speaker #2: the difference between it looks like H2 might be a little bit lower than what was delivered in H1.

Speaker #3: And I was just wondering if you could help us understand the drivers of that step down. How much of it reflects just normal seasonality versus potentially lower assumptions for electricity prices or other factors?

Speaker #4: Yeah.

Speaker #2: So yeah.

Speaker #4: Okay. So it's a yeah. So it is relevant because as you may see, we increased the guidance for the year for the revenues more than the EBITDA.

Speaker #4: And this is part of the reason. The second part might be from the second portion of the sale of the sunlight cluster if you remember in the first quarter we sold another 11% of the cluster and we told the market that during the second quarter we sold another 15% of the sunlight cluster.

Speaker #2: Thank you so much for the question. I'm actually going to ask Itai Benayan, the Chief Corporate Development Officer, to answer this one.

Speaker #3: Justin, good morning. As you remember, we have trading activity in Israel. It is an activity that helps us expand the dollar profits on our assets.

Speaker #4: And given the fact that we accounted in the EBITDA only for the proportional share of the percentage that was sold, it also contributed to the EBITDA not to the revenues, to the EBITDA in the first half of the year, but there are no expectations for additional sell downs in the second half of the year.

Speaker #3: But this activity is also characterized by a lower EBITDA margin. We see this activity growing in Israel, and it's part of the contribution to the growth in revenues.

Speaker #3: But also creates somewhat of a lower overall margin. Is this am I asking the am I answering the right is this what we asked?

Speaker #2: Got it. Okay. No, that's very helpful. Then I also wanted to touch on the 2020 outlook here. So the revenue and income ARR for the end of the year 2028 did improve or you increased the target by about 100 million here.

Speaker #2: H2.

Speaker #3: Yeah. Yeah, I'm just I'm trying to understand the difference between it looks like H2 might be a little bit lower than what was delivered in H1.

Speaker #2: Though the operating capacity target looked like it moved slightly lower to 12 factor gigawatts from 12 to 13 previously. So I guess wanted to understand why the factored gigawatt target moved modestly lower but then also you're able to generate more revenue from that lower capacity figure.

Speaker #3: So yeah. Okay. So it's a yeah. So it is relevant because as you may see, we increased the guidance for the year for the revenues more than the EBITDA.

Speaker #3: And this is part of the reason. The second part might be from the second portion of the sale of the sunlight cluster if you remember in the first quarter we sold another 11% of the cluster and we told the market that during the second quarter we sold another 15% of the sunlight cluster.

Speaker #3: Yes, of course. So during the quarter, we acquired a number of storage projects in Finland and in Romania. Totaling 1.5 gigawatt hour or about that.

Speaker #3: And given the fact that we accounted in the EBITDA only for the proportional share of the percentage that was sold, it also contributed to the EBITDA—not to the revenues—to the EBITDA in the first half of the year. But there are no expectations for additional sell downs in the second half of the year.

Speaker #3: These add they are at RTB some of them are under construction already. And we started construction on them after acquiring them earlier in the quarter.

Speaker #3: And they are adding to our revenues they are adding to our revenues in their first year of operation. 110 million dollars in revenues in their first year of operation.

Speaker #3: Got it. Okay. No, that's very helpful. Then I also wanted to touch on the 2020 outlook here. So the revenue and income ARR for the end of the year 2028 did improve or you increased the target by about $100 million here.

Speaker #3: But then on the capacity side, these are storage projects that are that we factor in at a rate of 3.5 when we take the gigawatt hour, the megawatt hour, and translate it into gigawatts or megawatts.

Speaker #3: Though the operating capacity target looked like it moved slightly lower, to 12 factored gigawatts from 12 to 13 previously. So I guess I wanted to understand why the factored gigawatt target moved modestly lower, but then also how you're able to generate more revenue from that lower capacity figure.

Speaker #3: So what you see though is that that 12 that you're talking about that you see in the 2028 capacity that is already been connected it used to be as you said higher.

Speaker #2: Yes, of course. So during the quarter, we acquired a number of storage projects. In Finland, and in Romania. Totaling 1.5 gigawatt hour or about that.

Speaker #3: Those projects did not disappear. They were just pushed into some of them were pushed into 2029. But so again, they're still there. They're going to be connecting later.

Speaker #2: These add they are at RTB some of them are under construction already. And we started construction on them after acquiring them earlier in the quarter.

Speaker #3: And nevertheless, we can make the same revenues with lesser gigawatts in 28.

Speaker #2: Got it. Okay. That makes a lot of sense. That's helpful. One more I just wanted to ask so you signed your first USPPA with a hyperscale here so congratulations.

Speaker #2: And they are adding to our revenues they are adding to our revenues in their first year of operation. 110 million dollars in revenues in their first year of operation.

Speaker #2: Wondering if you anticipate an increasing mix of your projects being signed with hyperscalers. How we should think about that. And then just more broadly if you could characterize the trend in demand you're seeing for power at this point and the pace of contracting.

Speaker #2: But then, on the capacity side, these are storage projects that we factor in at a rate of 3.5 when we take the gigawatt-hour, the megawatt-hour, and translate it into gigawatts or megawatts.

Speaker #2: Are customers continuing to accelerate here or are you seeing any slowdown from what you've seen in the past recent past?

Speaker #2: So what you see though is that that 12 that you're talking about that you see in the 2028 capacity that is already been connected it used to be as you said higher those projects did not disappear.

Speaker #3: Yeah. Sure. So definitely we're expecting to have more PPA contracts in the US and elsewhere. That are signed with hyperscalers and that is that represents both a shift in the demand for electricity in the market.

Speaker #2: They were just pushed into some of them were pushed into 2029. But so again, they're still there. They're going to be connecting later. And nevertheless, we can make the same revenues with lesser gigawatts in '28.

Speaker #3: It also represents our expansion out of out of WEC to being a national developer and IPP. Where in these markets on SPP like the Southern Power Pool where Oklahoma, Solstice Project is, and then in PJM where we have additional projects that will be connected potentially to data centers in the future.

Speaker #3: Got it. Okay. That makes a lot of sense. That's helpful. One more I just wanted to ask so you signed your first USPPA with a hyperscale hyperscaler here.

Speaker #3: So congratulations. Wondering if you anticipate an increasing mix of your projects being signed with hyperscalers. How we should think about that. And then just more broadly, if you could characterize the trend in demand you're seeing for power at this point and the pace of contracting.

Speaker #3: There are these kinds of opportunities whereas in WEC which is the stomping grounds, the original stomping grounds of Clean Era the markets are very much electricity being sold in long-term busbar PPAs to utilities.

Speaker #3: Are customers continuing to accelerate here or are you seeing any slowdown from what you've seen in the past recent past?

Speaker #3: So it represents the fact that we're now active in additional markets and we're growing our presence significantly in these markets where the market for electricity is indeed different.

Speaker #2: Yes. Sure. So definitely we're expecting to have more PPA contracts in the US and elsewhere. That are signed with hyperscalers and that is that represents both a shift in the demand for electricity in the market.

Speaker #3: Now what we're seeing is we're only seeing I mean, we're seeing acceleration we're seeing acceleration of the demand for electricity. And again, we're seeing different kinds of customers.

Speaker #3: So whereas in the past because we were again, more in WEC, it would be the only choice or the obvious choice to be signing these PPAs with the utilities.

Speaker #2: It also represents our expansion out of WEC to being a national developer and IPP. We're in these markets on SPP, like the Southwest Power Pool where Oklahoma, Solstice Project is, and then in PJM where we have additional projects that will be connected potentially to data centers in the future.

Speaker #3: Now that we're in the east and the center of the country and SPP, there are many more kinds of customers. Sometimes we will be selling it to the likes of Google.

Speaker #3: Other times we will not be selling it to the likes of Google. Because we will be developing ourselves the data centers that are being supplied with this electricity.

Speaker #2: There are these kinds of opportunities whereas in WEC, which is the stomping grounds, the original stomping grounds of Clean Era, the markets are very much electricity being sold in long-term busbar PPAs.

Speaker #3: So you will see us not signing unnecessarily PPAs with external parties at all. We will be using that power ourselves realizing that we're sitting on a very valuable asset in the fact that we're generating electricity and this electricity can be used for creditation for large loads for data centers and we want to utilize that ourselves.

Speaker #2: To utilities. So it represents the fact that we're now active in additional markets and we're growing our presence significantly in these markets where the market for electricity is indeed different.

Speaker #2: Okay. Interesting. All right. Great thanks for the caller. I'll pass it on.

Speaker #2: Now, what we're seeing is we're only seeing I mean, we're seeing acceleration we're seeing acceleration of the demand for electricity. And again, we're seeing different kinds of customers.

Speaker #3: Okay.

Speaker #1: Thank you.

Speaker #2: Thank you.

Speaker #1: Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Christopher Souther from Tourist. Please go ahead.

Speaker #2: So, whereas in the past, because we were, again, more in WEC, it would be the only choice, or the obvious choice, to be signing these PPAs with the utilities.

Speaker #4: Hey. Thanks for taking my question and congrats on the continued execution here. Can you talk about the two new European projects in Finland and Romania?

Speaker #2: Now that we're in the east and the center of the country and SPP, there are many more kinds of customers sometimes we will be selling it to the likes of Google.

Speaker #4: I guess the returns here are a fair bit higher than the portfolio average. Is that anticipated merchant returns or are there contracted portions as well?

Speaker #2: Other times we will not be selling it to the likes of Google. Because we will be developing ourselves the data centers that are being supplied with this electricity.

Speaker #4: And then maybe just talk a little bit about how those pipelines seem to be were these opportunistic ways to get a foothold for future greenfield development or are there potential programmatic relationships in some of these newer markets?

Speaker #2: So, you will see us not necessarily signing PPAs with external parties at all. We will be using that power ourselves, realizing that we're sitting on a very valuable asset in the fact that we're generating electricity.

Speaker #3: Okay. Thank you for the question. And we're very happy Tourist initiating coverage. So we appreciate that very much. In Finland, and in Romania, we entered indeed by purchasing acquiring projects that are near RTB or at RTB.

Speaker #2: And this electricity can be used for creditation for large loads, for data centers. And we want to utilize that ourselves.

Speaker #3: Okay, interesting. All right, great. Thanks for the caller. I'll pass it on.

Speaker #2: Okay.

Speaker #1: Thank you.

Speaker #3: Thank you.

Speaker #1: Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Christopher Souther from Tourist. Please go ahead.

Speaker #3: Hence, as you remark, not greenfield. In order to get into the market as quickly as possible, with this storage capacity, realizing the demand for storage is very high immediately.

Speaker #4: Hey. Thanks for taking my question and congrats on the continued execution here. Can you talk about the two new European projects in Finland and Romania?

Speaker #3: And we do want to be there quickly connecting our batteries to provide this very high demand for time-shifting services meaning like the arbitrage and the day ahead and intraday markets as well as ancillary services.

Speaker #4: I guess the returns here are a fair bit higher than the portfolio average. Is that anticipated merchant returns or are there contracted portions as well?

Speaker #4: And then maybe just talk a little bit about how those pipelines can be were these opportunistic ways to get a foothold for future greenfield development or are there potential programmatic relationships in some of these newer markets?

Speaker #3: So the entire enjoying the entire revenue stack. For each project, we do look at what is the best way for us to maximize the returns while still creating some baseload of contracted revenues that will enable us also to provide a high level of financing with a high level of leverage.

Speaker #2: Okay. Thank you for the question. And we're very happy Tourist initiating coverage. So we appreciate that very much. In Finland, and in Romania, we entered indeed by purchasing acquiring projects that are near RTB or at RTB.

Speaker #3: So we balance those two. But generally speaking, when we look at these curves, the price curves in these markets, we see that there's significant opportunities both in ancillary services and in trading and arbitrage and that there's still some opportunities to hedge and create some contracted revenues in a way that doesn't compromise our returns like with floor contracts where we still are able to enjoy upsides.

Speaker #2: Hence, as you remark, not greenfield. In order to get into the market as quickly as possible, with this storage capacity, realizing the demand for storage is very high immediately.

Speaker #2: And we do want to be there quickly connecting our batteries to provide this very high demand for time-shifting services meaning like the arbitrage and the day ahead and intraday markets as well as ancillary services.

Speaker #3: So we take great care and we're we see ourselves as excellent in managing the entire revenue stack to enable us the highest returns while not compromising on our ability to finance these projects with significant leverage.

Speaker #2: So the entire enjoining the entire revenue stack. For each project, we do look at what is the best way for us to maximize the returns while still creating some baseload of contracted revenues that will enable us also to provide a high level of financing with a high level of leverage.

Speaker #4: Got it. Okay. And then just expanding into those, there's are there greenfield opportunities behind this or other M&A that you'd kind of follow with?

Speaker #3: We're already looking at additional projects in Finland and in Romania. When it's these batteries we try to get to the market as soon as possible because the highest returns are right now.

Speaker #2: So we balance those two. But generally speaking, when we look at these curves, the price curves in these markets, we see that there's significant opportunities both in ancillary services and in trading and arbitrage and that there's still some opportunities to hedge and create some contracted revenues in a way that doesn't compromise our returns like with floor contracts where we still are able to enjoy upsides.

Speaker #3: We are working also on some projects that are generation and not storage and those are also greenfield.

Speaker #4: Got it. Okay. And then maybe just last one from me. On the incremental safe harbor ahead of the July 4th deadline, how did you guys approach some of the earlier stage development pipeline safe harbor decisions and the risk reward around projects with CODs that are approaching 2030?

Speaker #2: So we take great care, and we see ourselves as excellent in managing the entire revenue stack to enable the highest returns while not compromising on our ability to finance these projects with significant leverage.

Speaker #4: Just from a holistic perspective, how did you guys kind of approach that?

Speaker #3: Right. So as you can see in the table for the projects that are in advanced development, we brought 91% of those projects of the gigawatts of those projects to safe harbor.

Speaker #4: Got it. Okay. And then just expanding into those, are there greenfield opportunities behind this, or other M&A that you’d kind of follow with?

Speaker #2: We're already looking at additional projects in Finland and in Romania. When it's these batteries, we try to get to the market as soon as possible because the highest returns are right now.

Speaker #3: And. So there's one project that was not safe harbored. And then when we were looking at the early development or what's called development, we safe harbored 38%.

Speaker #3: So we were careful in choosing what projects to safe harbor that where we're able to have continuous construction and COD before 2030 in order not to spend make investments into safe harboring where we do not think that the project in terms of its timeline when it's going to be getting its interconnection and when we're able to complete the offtake and complete the construction, it would not make it on time.

Speaker #2: We are working also on some projects that are generation and not storage. And those are also greenfield.

Speaker #4: Got it. Okay. And then maybe just one last question from me. On the incremental safe harbor ahead of the July 4th deadline, how did you approach some of the earlier-stage development pipeline safe harbor decisions, and what was the risk-reward around projects with CODs that are approaching 2030?

Speaker #3: So we did one project at a time with all these considerations. You'll note that we added fair bit of gigawatts just in these last few months so in the last quarter we gave a range of 13 to 17 and finally we decided about a few more projects that would cross that finish line and we got to 17.9.

Speaker #4: Just from a holistic perspective, how did you guys kind of approach that?

Speaker #2: Right. So, as you can see in the table, for the projects that are in advanced development, we brought 91% of those projects—of the gigawatts of those projects—to safe harbor.

Speaker #3: That's because we had the full we had choice. About which projects to make cross the line. And we want to make sure that we're making a decision that takes into account that likelihood of reaching COD by 2030.

Speaker #2: And so there's one project that was not safe harbored. And then when we're looking at the early development, or what's called development, we safe harbored 38%.

Speaker #4: Got it. Okay. No, that's super helpful. Thanks so much.

Speaker #2: So we were careful in choosing what projects to safe harbor that where we're able to have continuous construction and COD before 2030 in order not to spend make investments into safe harboring where we do not think that the projects in terms of its timeline when it's going to be getting its interconnection and when we're able to complete the offtake and complete the construction, it would not make it on time.

Speaker #3: Thank you.

Speaker #1: Thank you. Next question today. Comes from the line of Corinne Blanchard from Deutsche Bank. Please go ahead.

Speaker #5: Hi. Good morning. Thank you for taking my question. Maybe two questions. The first one, can you talk about expectation for asset sell down for the rest of the year and maybe going into 2027?

Speaker #5: And then the second question, if you can talk a little bit more about merchant pricing, especially in Europe and kind of the kind of return that you're targeting there and if anything has changed in the last couple of months, especially with some of the geopolitical events.

Speaker #2: So we did one project at a time with all these considerations. You'll note that we added a fair bit of gigawatts just in these last few months, so in the last quarter we gave a range of 13 to 17, and finally we decided about a few more projects that would cross that finish line and we got to 17.9.

Speaker #5: Thank you.

Speaker #3: I'll ask Itai, the chief corporate development officer, to take the question about the sell downs.

Speaker #2: That's because we had the full we had choice. About which projects to make cross the line. And we want to make sure that we're making a decision that takes into account that that likelihood.

Speaker #2: Sure. Corinne, hey. Good morning. Or good afternoon. In our guidance for the reminder of the year, there are no expectations for additional sell downs this year.

Speaker #2: Of reaching COD by 2030.

Speaker #2: So we had some initial assumptions in the beginning of the year expecting the sunlight cluster to be sold moving up from 44% to 70%.

Speaker #4: Got it. Okay. No, that's super helpful. Thanks so much.

Speaker #2: Thank you.

Speaker #1: Thank you. Next question today. Comes from the line of Corinne Blanchard from Deutsche Bank. Please go ahead.

Speaker #2: It was part of the initial terms of the initial disposition last year. But for the reminder of this year, we do not expect additional sell downs at least there is nothing in the guidance or in our numbers that it takes into consideration additional sell downs.

Speaker #5: Hi, good morning. Thank you for taking my question. Maybe two questions: The first one, can you talk about expectations for asset sell-down for the rest of the year, and maybe going into 2027?

Speaker #5: And then the second question, if you can talk a little bit more about merchant pricing, especially in Europe, and kind of the return that you're targeting there.

Speaker #3: And Corinne, could you possibly repeat the second part of your question?

Speaker #5: Yeah. No, I was asking just about maybe a broader view on the European market. I know you commented already on the storage side, but I was just kind of more asking about merchant price in Europe and the kind of return you expect there and if anything has changed, maybe your approach to the European market or the dynamic in the European market, especially in the last couple of months with a lot of moving pieces on geopolitically and so.

Speaker #5: And if anything has changed in the last couple of months, especially with some of the geopolitical events. Thank you.

Speaker #2: I'll ask Itai, the Chief Corporate Development Officer, to take the question about the sell-downs.

Speaker #3: Sure. Corinne, hey. Good morning, or good afternoon. In our guidance for the remainder of the year, there are no expectations for additional sell-downs this year.

Speaker #3: Well, I think anyone in Europe has noticed the heat wave and I think that the need for energy and for renewable energy in particular is at an all-time high.

Speaker #3: So, we had some initial assumptions at the beginning of the year, expecting the Sunlight cluster to be sold, moving up from 44% to 70%.

Speaker #3: It was part of the initial terms of the initial disposition last year. But for the reminder of this year, we do not expect additional sell-downs at least there is nothing in the guidance or in our numbers that it takes into consideration additional sell-downs.

Speaker #3: I'm sure you know that composition of electricity generation in Europe is already over 50% renewable if we just take an average of the whole continent and some countries are well above that.

Speaker #3: Our strategy is to focus on the largest and fastest growing renewable markets in Europe. That's why you see us moving in the last just in the last couple of quarters, moving into Germany, Finland, Romania, extending our presence in Poland significantly.

Speaker #2: And Corinne, could you possibly repeat the second part of your question?

Speaker #5: Yeah. No, I was asking just about maybe a broader view on the European market. I know you commented already on the storage side, but I was just kind of more asking about merchant price in Europe and the kind of return you expect there and if anything has changed, maybe your approach to the European market or the dynamic in the European market, especially in the last couple of months with a lot of moving pieces on geopolitically and so.

Speaker #3: Hybridizing our existing assets in Spain, in Hungary, in Sweden, so our strategy is to go where the renewable energy is increasing its penetration it's already high but increasing its penetration creating this mismatch between the hours of production of electricity from renewable sources to the hours of demand by consumers.

Speaker #2: Well, I think anyone in Europe has noticed the heat wave, and I think that the need for energy—and for renewable energy in particular—is at an all-time high.

Speaker #3: And in that area where there's negative prices, that's the area where batteries are most required. They're required to do this time shifting between the hours again of production and consumption.

Speaker #2: I'm sure you know that the composition of electricity generation in Europe is already over 50% renewable if we just take an average of the whole continent.

Speaker #3: And they also serve in ancillary services for various network services. And our strategy is to come into these markets as soon as possible with battery capacity that is the most that is the most lucrative play at the moment at the same time we do have a strategy to also maintain our technology mix and maintain also generation opportunities.

Speaker #2: And some countries are well above that. Our strategy is to focus on the largest and fastest-growing renewable markets in Europe. That's why you see us, just in the last couple of quarters, moving into Germany, Finland, and Romania, and extending our presence in Poland significantly.

Speaker #2: Hybridizing our existing assets in Spain, in Hungary, in Sweden—so our strategy is to go where renewable energy is increasing its penetration. It's already high, but increasing its penetration is creating this mismatch between the hours of production of electricity from renewable sources and the hours of demand by consumers.

Speaker #3: And we will be pursuing these generation opportunities in markets as well that are accelerating the move from fossil fuels into renewable energy.

Speaker #5: Thank you. If I may squeeze one more question. Can you talk about balance sheet and what's your view or expectation in terms of do you need further capital to support some of that growth that you have highlighted?

Speaker #2: And in that area where there's negative prices, that's the area where batteries are most required. They're required to do this time-shifting between the hours, again, of production and consumption.

Speaker #5: Just overall view on balance sheet and where you stand and what you might need in the next few quarters. Thank you.

Speaker #2: Sure. Corinne, as you remember, we're managing the balance sheet and it is important for us as we grow to focus on profitability on free cash flows return on equity and also maintain the strong balance sheet and the credit ratings that we're already have.

Speaker #2: And they also serve in ancillary services for various network services. And our strategy is to come into these markets as soon as possible with battery capacity that is the most that is the most lucrative play at the moment at the same time we do have a strategy to also maintain our technology mix and maintain also generation opportunities.

Speaker #2: We measure the balance sheet, the leverage in debt to cap. On page 19 in the presentation, we're showing the progress, the development progress, and the financing progress for the reminder of the mature portfolio.

Speaker #2: And we will be pursuing these generation opportunities in markets as well that are accelerating the move from fossil fuels to renewable energy.

Speaker #2: So the mature portfolio comprises of 3.9 factor gigawatt operating and the reminder 8.4 factor gigawatts of under construction and pre-construction require about 8.9 billion dollars of capex.

Speaker #5: Thank you. If I may squeeze one more question. Can you talk about balance sheet and what's your view or expectation in terms of do you need further capital to support some of that growth that you have highlighted?

Speaker #2: In the bottom two batteries, you can see that almost 70% of the project financing needed for those projects was already secured. We have 2.7 factor gigawatts to start construction this year and the reminder next year.

Speaker #5: Just overall view on balance sheet and where you stand and what you might need in the next few quarters. Thank you.

Speaker #2: And also about 50% of the equity that was needed to invest to date for these projects was already invested this equity is coming from the corporate from the corporate level and the reminder 700 million dollars needed will be invested in the next year or so we have about 1.2 billion dollars of liquidity on the balance sheet today.

Speaker #3: Sure. Corinne, as you remember, we're managing the balance sheet and it is important for us as we grow to focus on profitability on free cash flows return on equity and also maintain the strong balance sheet and the credit rating that we're already have.

Speaker #2: So we have more than enough internal sources of capital to support the growth of the mature portfolio which takes us all the way to 2028 and more and then some.

Speaker #3: We measure the balance sheet, the leverage, in debt to cap. On page 19 in the presentation, we're showing the progress—the development progress and the financing progress—for the remainder of the mature portfolio.

Speaker #2: I hope and also it is important to remind you that we are reaching a pace of about 100 million dollars of operating cash flow a quarter.

Speaker #3: So the mature portfolio comprises of 3.9 factor gigawatt operating and the reminder 8.4 factor gigawatts of under construction and pre-construction require about 8.9 billion dollars of capex.

Speaker #2: So the first six months of the year we generated about 185 and there is also some working capital in it. We believe that we're on track of about 100 million dollars of operating cash flow a quarter and these cash flows will also help the future growth of the company.

Speaker #5: All right. Thank you so much.

Speaker #3: Thank you.

Speaker #4: Thank you. As a reminder, if you would like to ask a question, please press star one and one on your telephone. That is star one and one.

Speaker #4: If you would like to ask a question, you will now go to the next question. And the next question today comes from the line of George Chiefy from Mizuho.

Speaker #4: Please go ahead.

Speaker #2: Hi guys. Thank you for taking my question. Congrats on a great quarter. I'm going to start with how many solar modules and inverters have you guys procured for your projects in your mature portfolio?

Speaker #2: And also in your advanced phase? And what flexibility do you have to pass any higher prices on those parts due to tariffs or import bans to customers through your PPAs?

Speaker #6: George, hey, good morning. We never disclosed how many. So it's hard to talk in numbers. And I wonder if you are asking about expected 232.

Speaker #6: Is that kind of like the behind the scene of the question?

Speaker #2: Yeah. Also kind of related to the new the import ban that they were talking about inverters last week.

Speaker #6: Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Speaker #2: If you have any higher pricing expectations, if you could pass those on or not.

Speaker #6: Okay. So we're focusing on the US for the question. And I can say that a significant portion of the models needed for the projects under construction in the US is already on US soil.

Speaker #6: So we don't expect nobody knows what the final wording 232 will be, but at the moment we don't expect any implications on our projects in the US in the near term.

Speaker #6: Regarding the inverters, the new language talks about the new models of inverters. So we're talking down the road in the future doesn't have any impact on the near term of the projects in the US.

Speaker #6: So with regards to upcoming regulations, we see very little impact, if any, on the projects currently in the mature portfolio in the US.

Speaker #3: And I will just add to that that we have a very we have a diversified pool of suppliers we don't only develop and construct and operate projects in the US.

Speaker #3: We do so also in 12 countries in Europe. And in Israel. And we have for these purposes, we have a very diversified pool of suppliers that enables us also when there were in the past, there were tariffs on and restrictions on suppliers from specific countries for example, China, we were able to pivot to supply from other countries.

Speaker #3: And we have that experience and the ability to shift between in order to make sure that we're still very competitive and are able to achieve to procure and the production slots and get the equipment in on time.

Speaker #6: In one last you asked about the pricing. In many of the PPAs and the supplier agreements, we signed in the US, we injected mechanisms that in case new regulation will come and will create an increase in the capex, we will not be the only one absorbing it.

Speaker #6: So there are mechanisms in place to adjust the PPA and also that some of the pain will be absorbed by the suppliers in a way that we will be able to.

Speaker #3: And by the electricity offtakers.

Speaker #6: Yeah. And exactly. The PPAs are electricity offtakers that we will be able to maintain somewhat similar ballparks of returns that we were expecting initially without going and renegotiating and breaking those PPAs.

Speaker #4: Thank you. We will now go to the next question. And the next question today comes from the line of David Pass from Wolf. Please go ahead.

Speaker #7: Good morning. Just on your annual run rate for the revenue income, where within your conversion range of 70 to 80 percent do you expect to be through 2029, particularly asking given the 2028 run rate has a lot of the large projects which just from your disclosures imply about 80 percent EBITDA margins in the first year.

Speaker #7: So maybe just holistically or if you just portfolio-wise, what is the right number within the 70 to 80 percent for those years? Thank you.

Speaker #3: Thank you for the question. I'm going to ask our CFO, Nir Yehuda, to respond.

Speaker #6: Okay. Just be sure that we are understood correctly your question. You're asking about the gradually the increasing of the EBITDA rate.

Speaker #3: Or maintaining 70 to 80 percent.

Speaker #7: Yes. Where within that 70 to 80 percent range would you point us to in your 329?

Speaker #6: Yes. So first of all, you can say it in the segment notes exactly who is driving the EBITDA rates of the corporate. Is it all?

Speaker #6: But naturally, the US activity has been impacted with say heavily by the tax benefit in terms of the in terms of the EBITDA rate.

Speaker #6: But as you can see in the other segments, we maintained the same ratio between the 70 to 80. Of course, the impacted by any sell-down activity that we may operate from time to time.

Speaker #3: So basically, I mean, the US is an increasing share of I mean, an increasing segment of our total revenues and the EBITDA in the US is on the higher side.

Speaker #3: In that 70 to 80 because of the tax benefits. So as that segment grows as part of the total, we veer towards the higher ranges of the EBITDA as a company.

Speaker #7: Okay. Okay. Great. Thank you.

Speaker #4: Thank you. There are currently no further questions. I will hand the call back for closing remarks.

Speaker #3: Thank you. Sharon. Thank you so much for joining us this quarter. We highly appreciate the collaboration and the partnership with you. And we look forward to seeing you again next quarter.

Speaker #1: Y-yes, where within that 70 to 80 percent range would you point us to in your 329?

Yes. So, so first of all, you can, you can say it in the segment notes. Exactly. You know, who is driving the uh the ebida rates of the of the corporate is it all. Uh, but naturally the uh, the US, uh, the US activities been impacted would say, heavily by the tax benefit, uh, in terms of the, in terms of the a direct. But as you can see, in the other segments, we maintain the same ratio between the 70 to 80, uh, of course, impacted by any sell down activity that we may operate from time to time. Uh, so basically, I mean the US is an increasing share of. I mean, an increasing segment of our total revenues and the IRA in the US is on the higher side. Yeah. In that 70 to 80 because of the tax benefits. So as that segment grows as part of as, as the of the total, um, we Veer towards that.

Higher ranges of the evidence as a company.

Okay, great. Thank you.

Thank you. There are currently no further questions. I will hand the call back for closing remarks.

Thank you. Sharon, thank you so much for joining us this quarter. We highly appreciate the collaboration and the partnership with you, and we look forward to seeing you again next quarter.

Harbored by the end of 2025 with the other half secured by the 4th of July, deadlines this year, the Safe Harbor status for our projects was achieved through performing work in the significant nature, both on and off site. The 18 Factor gigawatts represent an anticipated, 62% of our total us portfolio of approximately 29, Factory gigawatts. In addition to Safe Harbor status. Our pipeline has mature interconnections with over 20 Factor, gigawatts of projects in advanced development and development stages that have completed their system impact study projects eligible for the full investment tax credit in the US are not limited to the 18 Gause of those that have achieved safe.

Jarrod Mackley: We remain on track and in achieving our goal to be a leading renewable energy player in the US. Now, I will turn the presentation back to Aditi.

Adi Leviatan: Thank you, Jared. Moving to Europe, where we continue to build our position as one of the leading utility scale renewable and storage developers in the continent. During Q2, we entered a new market, Romania, and significantly expanded our position in Finland. In Finland, where renewables make up 65% of electricity generation, we acquired three storage projects with a total storage capacity of more than 1.4 GWh to meet the high demand for storage. Two of the projects, with a total capacity of 902 MWh, started construction, and the third is expected to start construction later this year. Commercial operation dates for all three projects are planned for H1 2028, generating more than $50 million EBITDA, reflecting combined unlevered return of about 16.5% in the first full year of operation.

Energy storage remains a significant portion of our long-term strategy which continues to be eligible for full IPC via Safe. Harbor through 2037. Our current portfolio includes an additional 4.7 Factor, gigawatts of energy storage that fits into this criteria and we will continue to build out this portfolio over the next few years. Our mature portfolio received, another external affirmation of our capabilities and exciting. Prospects as a Consortium of 7 leading Global Banks, signed the largest financing in our company's history. A 2.6 billion dollar deal where the Cobar solar and storage complex in northern Arizona. The Seal of our complex includes 5 phases totaling 12,211, megawatts of solar power generation, and 4,000 megawatt hours of energy storage with an expected, capital expenditure totaling about 3 billion dollars,

This quarter we mobilized for Full Construction on phase 3, which includes 473 megawatts of PV generation joining phases 1 and 2. In construction, we are targeting the final 2 energy storage phases, which include 3,176 megawatt hours of energy storage to fully mobilize in Q4 of this year. We remain on track for an initial Cod of the complex in the second half.

Adi Leviatan: Returns for BESS projects in Europe are elevated due to the extreme shortage in energy storage, a trend we see as an opportunity for Enlight's storage position. Production of wind and solar in the Finnish market is expected to more than double by 2030, leading to a more than tenfold growth in demand for storage. The acquisition of these ready-to-build projects will strengthen our footprint in the Nordics and establish Enlight as an early mover in Finland's energy storage market, providing a strong foundation to become a leading player as the market develops. In Romania, we acquired the Carpin cluster, adding 848MWh of storage capacity at an expected unlevered return of approximately 17%. This cluster is included in our pre-construction portfolio, with commercial operations expected to begin in phases from H2 2028 through H1 2029.

Back of 2027 with base, completions to full cod in the first half of 2028. We have 3 other projects in construction. I will briefly touch on snowflake a the initial phase of a mega complex in Northeast, Arizona is progressing on schedule snowflake a includes 594 megawatts of PV generation and 1,900 megawatt hours of energy storage. We are targeting a Cod at the end of 2027. The second phase of the snowflake complex snowflake B includes 656 megawatts of PV and 2,100 megawatt hours of energy storage and is outlined in our Advanced portfolios in California. We are beginning to commission sections of our Country, Acres project. This project includes 43 megawatt TV with 688 megawatt hours of energy storage, that is enough energy to power over

Adi Leviatan: Romania remains an earlier stage renewables market, with wind and solar generation expected to double by 2040 and storage demand projected to more than triple between 2026 and 2030. Europe continues to offer attractive opportunities for scaled IPPs and developers. The regulatory environment increasingly favors companies with strong balance sheets, established regional infrastructure, and the execution capabilities to finance, build, and operate projects at scale. The breadth of milestones achieved this quarter underscores the strength of our execution. Our total portfolio grew by 4.6% sequentially to 43.1 factored GW, while the mature component, comprising operating, under construction, and pre-construction projects, increased by 6% to 12.3 factored GW, further expanding the portion of our portfolio closest to revenue generation. We made meaningful progress across every stage of the portfolio.

85,000 homes in central California. We are on target to begin commercial operations by the end of this year at our Crimson Orchard project near our US headquarters in Idaho. The construction crews are fully mobilized at the site. This project includes 120 megawatts of PV generation and 400 megawatt-hours of energy storage. Over half of the PV piles have been installed and more than a quarter of the project's re—

Tracking is in place. We have completed installation of the medium voltage transformers for our BESS yard and are receiving delivery of battery containers. The project remains on schedule for a COD in the first half of 2027.

For the next few years. While diversifying our business customers and Geographic footprint, we remain on track. And in cheating, our goal to be a leading renewable energy player in the US. Now, I will turn the presentation back to add

Thank you, Jared. Moving to your app, where we continue to build our position as one of the leading utility-scale renewable and storage developers on the continent.

Adi Leviatan: Growth in the mature component was supported by targeted acquisitions in Finland and Romania, while construction commenced on the 880 MWh Björnberget battery storage project in Germany, which remains on track for commercial operation in H1 2028. We also advanced approximately 850 factored MW from development into advanced development and added 2 factored GW to our US development portfolio, primarily across CAISO, PJM, and SPP—markets that represent important new growth platforms for Enlight. This progress is translating directly into our 2028 roadmap. The estimated annual revenues and income associated with the mature component of our portfolio increased from approximately $2.1 billion to $2.3 billion. The construction momentum that began in 2025 has accelerated meaningfully through 2026. These are defining build-out years for Enlight, during which we are deploying substantial capital and converting our mature portfolio into operating assets.

During Q2 we entered a new market, Romania and significantly expanded our position in Finland. In Finland, where Renewables make up 65% of electricity generation. We acquired 3 storage projects with a total storage capacity of more than 1.4 gigawatt hour to meet the high demand for storage.

Two of the projects, with a total capacity of 902 megawatt-hours, have started construction. The third is expected to start construction later this year.

Commercial operation dates for all three projects are planned for the first half of 2028, generating more than $50 million EBITDA. This reflects a combined unlevered return of about 16.5% in the first full year of operation.

Returns for the best projects in Europe are elevated due to the extreme shortage in energy storage—a trend we see as an opportunity for Enlight's storage position.

Adi Leviatan: With additional 2.7 factored GW expected to begin construction, we expect to have more than 7 factored GW under construction by the end of 2026, positioning the company for a significant wave of commercial operations in 2027 and 2028 and putting us firmly on track to tripling our operating capacity. By end of year 2026, we expect more than 90% of our mature portfolio to be either operating or under construction. This provides a high degree of visibility into the next phase of growth as projects built progressively reach COD and begin contributing revenues and cash flow through 2027 and 2028. The scale of this build-out is evident in our capital deployment. Capital expenditure doubled in H1 of the year to $1.3 billion compared to same period last year.

Production of wind and solar in The Finnish Market is expected to more than double by 2030 leading, to a more than 10-fold growth, in demand for storage, the acquisition of these ready to build projects will strengthen our footprint in the nordics and establish in light as an early. Mover in finland's energy storage Market, providing a strong Foundation to become a leading player as the market develops.

In Romania, we acquired the Carpon cluster, adding 848 megawatt-hours of storage capacity at an expected unlevered return of approximately 17%.

This cluster is included in our pre-construction portfolio, with commercial operations expected to begin in phases from the second half of 2028 through the first half of 2029. Romania remains an earlier-stage renewables market, with wind and solar generation expected to double by 2040, and storage demand projected to more than triple between 2026 and 2030.

Adi Leviatan: About 50% of equity required was already invested, with approximately $1.2 billion of liquidity on hand to support roughly $700 million of remaining equity investments required, and approximately 69% of the required project financing has already been secured. I want to spend a moment on our data center strategy, which we view as a pivotal new growth engine for Enlight, one that builds directly on the capabilities, assets, and market presence of our existing renewable energy platform. Our pipeline consists of around 2 gigawatt IT of data center capacity across the United States, Israel, and Europe. Our strategy targets near generation, large-scale facilities exceeding 100 megawatt IT in a select group of markets where we believe the energy fundamentals provide a distinct advantage.

Adi Leviatan: These locations combine access to scalable generation and storage, suitable land, and critical grid infrastructure, capabilities that are becoming increasingly valuable as access to power emerges as the principal constraint on data center growth. The strategic fit is compelling. Our renewable operations provide many of the core inputs required by hyperscalers and co-locators, large grid connected sites, access to generation and storage, and deep expertise in developing, financing, constructing, and operating complex energy infrastructure. By integrating data centers alongside these assets, we can create a differentiated proposition centered on reliable, cost-effective, and lower carbon power. We expect CapEx investments to begin in 2027 for certain data center assets as selected initiatives advance towards construction. Importantly, our roadmap through 2028 does not currently include any contribution from the data center platform. That will provide the next wave of growth for Enlight.

Adi Leviatan: Enlight has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to identify early transformative market trends and convert that insight into value creation. We believe our data center initiative represents the company's next significant growth engine, supporting continued expansion well beyond 2028. Based on our 3-year business roadmap, our operating capacity is expected to reach about 12 factored gigawatts, translated into annual recurring revenue and income of more than $2.2 billion. This is an increase of about $100 million from the previous quarter. Our mature portfolio of revenues and income are now surpassing the 2028 annual recurring revenue level after growing by $200 million from the previous quarter. As we see mature projects expected to come online during 2029. The path to $2.2 to $2.3 billion in ARR by end of 2028 is anchored in projects we already own, with financing increasingly in place and CapEx being deployed.

Adi Leviatan: Enlight's growth story is not just about scale. It is about disciplined returns as well. Our under and pre-construction portfolio of 8.4 factored gigawatt is expected to deliver approximately 13% unlevered project returns, implying a return on equity above 18% after leverage. We are actively capitalizing on the opportunities across our markets while growing with discipline, protecting returns, maintaining balance sheet strength, and ensuring that every project meets our threshold for long-term shareholder value creation. The business environment in which Enlight operates in is, in our view, the most favorable it has been, and it meets Enlight at its strongest position. Electricity demand is accelerating, driven by AI and data center expansion, industrial electrification, and the broader energy transition.

Electricity demand is accelerating, driven by AI and data center expansion, industrial electrification, and the broader energy transition.

Adi Leviatan: In the United States alone, data center electricity consumption is expected to triple between 2025 to 2030, creating an urgent need for substantial new capacity that can be deployed rapidly, economically, and at scale. Solar plus storage, among our strongest growth engines, is exceptionally well suited to meet this demand. It offers a shorter time to market, an attractive cost of energy, and the operational flexibility increasingly required by modern power systems. These fundamentals are reinforced by greater regulatory clarity in the United States and Europe, attractive equipment costs for solar and storage, and an industry-wide consolidation process that increasingly favors scaled, well-capitalized operators. This is where Enlight is particularly well-positioned. Our global operating platform, strong financial capacity, proven execution, large portfolio of grid-ready sites, and a global network of top-tier partners give us the ability to convert these market conditions into disciplined and continuous high return growth.

Adi Leviatan: Before we turn to questions, let me leave you with four key takeaways from the quarter. First, we delivered record results and raised our 2026 outlook and the 2028 roadmap, reflecting the continued scaling of our operating portfolio, the quality of our underlying assets, and our confidence in the remainder of the year. Second, the milestones achieved this quarter, including the CO Bar financial close, the Google PPA in Oklahoma, exceeding our safe harbor targets, and our expansion into Finland and Romania, demonstrate our ability to execute at scale, broaden our commercial reach, and strengthen the resilience of our portfolio. Third, 2025 and 2026 are defining build-out years for Enlight. With a mature portfolio of 12.3 factored gigawatt and more than 90% expected to be operating or under construction by year end, we have clear visibility into a substantial wave of CODs, revenues, and cash flows through 2027 and 2028.

Adi Leviatan: Fourth, we are entering this next phase from a position of strength with a diversified global platform, a well-funded mature portfolio, proven execution capabilities, a strong management team, and highly favorable market fundamentals. Our priorities remain clear: execute with excellence, allocate capital with discipline, and translate the opportunities across our markets into durable long-term value for shareholders. None of this would be possible without the talent and commitment of our people. With that, I will open the call for questions.

Justin Clare: Hi. Thanks for the time and congratulations on the strong result.

Adi Leviatan: Thank you, Justin.

Adi Leviatan: Thank you, Justin.

Justin Clare: Yeah. Wanted to start out just on the updated guidance here. It looks like the updated guide implies a lower revenue and adjusted EBITDA in H2 versus H1, and was just wondering if you could help us understand the drivers of that step down. How much of it reflects just normal seasonality versus potentially lower assumptions for electricity prices, or other factors?

Adi Leviatan: Thank you so much for the question. I'm actually going to ask Itay Banayan, the Chief Corporate Development Officer, to answer this one.

Itay Banayan: Justin, good morning. As you remember, we have the trading activity in Israel. It is an activity that helps us expand the dollar profits on our assets. This activity is also characterized by a lower EBITDA margin. We see this activity growing in Israel, and it's part of the contribution to the growth in the revenues, but also creates somewhat of a lower overall margin. Is this what we asked?

Adi Leviatan: H2.

Adi Leviatan: H2.

Justin Clare: Yeah, I'm trying to understand the difference between them. It looks like H2 might be a little bit lower than what was delivered in H1.

Justin Clare: Yeah, I'm trying to understand the difference between. It looks like H2 might be a little bit lower than what was delivered in H1.

Itay Banayan: Okay. It is relevant because as you may see, we increased the guidance for the year for the revenues more than the EBITDA, and this is part of the reason. The second part might be from the second portion of the sale of the Sunlight cluster. If you remember, in Q1, we sold another 11% of the cluster, and we told the market that during Q2, we sold another 15% of the Sunlight cluster. Given the fact that we accounted in the EBITDA only for the proportional share of the percentage that was sold, it also contributed to the EBITDA, not to the revenues, to the EBITDA in H1. There are no expectations for additional sell downs in H2.

Justin Clare: Got it. Okay. No, that's very helpful. I also wanted to touch on the 2020 outlook here. The revenue and income ARR for the end of the year 2028 did improve, or you increased the target by about $100 million here. Though the operating capacity target looked like it moved slightly lower to 12 factored gigawatts from 12 to 13 previously. Just wanted to understand why the factored gigawatt target moved modestly lower, but then also you're able to generate more revenue from that lower capacity figure.

Adi Leviatan: Yes, of course. During the quarter, we acquired a number of storage projects in Finland and in Romania, totaling 1.5 GWh, or about that. These adds are at RTB. Some of them are under construction already. We started construction on them after acquiring them earlier in the quarter. They are adding to our revenues. They're adding to our revenues in their first year of operation, $110 million in revenues in their first year of operation. On the capacity side, these are storage projects that we factor in at a rate of 3.5. When we take the gigawatt hour, the megawatt hour, and translate it into gigawatts or megawatts. What you see, though, is that 12 that you're talking about, that you see in the 2028 capacity that has already been connected, it used to be, as you said, higher.

Adi Leviatan: Those projects did not disappear. They were just pushed into 2029. Again, they're still there. They're going to be connecting later. Nevertheless, we can make the same revenues with lesser gigawatts in 2028.

Justin Clare: Got it. Okay. That makes a lot of sense. That's helpful. One more, just wanted to ask, you signed your first US PPA with a hyperscaler here, congratulations. Wondering if you anticipate an increasing mix of your projects being signed with hyperscalers, how we should think about that. Just more broadly, if you could characterize the trends in demand you're seeing for power at this point and the pace of contracting. Are customers continuing to accelerate here, or are you seeing any slowdown from what you've seen in the recent past?

Are customers continuing to accelerate here, or are you seeing any slowdown from what you've seen in the recent past?

Adi Leviatan: Sure. Definitely we're expecting to have more PPA contracts in the US and elsewhere that are signed with hyperscalers. That represents both a shift in the demand for electricity in the market. It also represents our expansion out of WECC to being a national developer and IPP. Where in these markets on SPP, like the Southwest Power Pool where Oklahoma Solstice project is, and then in PJM where we have additional projects that will be connected potentially to data centers in the future, there are these kinds of opportunities. Whereas in WECC, which is the original stomping grounds of Clēnera, the markets are very much electricity being sold in long-term busbar PPAs to utilities. It represents the fact that we're now active in additional markets, and we're growing our presence significantly in these markets where the market for electricity is indeed different.

Adi Leviatan: Sure. Definitely we're expecting to have more PPA contracts in the US and elsewhere that are signed with hyperscalers. That represents both a shift in the demand for electricity in the market. It also represents our expansion out of WECC to being a national developer and IPP. Where in these markets on SPP, like the Southwest Power Pool where Oklahoma Solstice project is, and then in PJM where we have additional projects that will be connected potentially to data centers in the future, there are these kinds of opportunities.

Adi Leviatan: Now what we're seeing is we're seeing acceleration of the demand for electricity, again, we're seeing different kinds of customers. Whereas in the past, because we were, again, more in WECC, it would be the only choice or the obvious choice to be signing these PPAs with the utilities. Now that we're in the east and the center of the country in SPP, there are many more kinds of customers. Sometimes we will be selling it to the likes of Google. Other times we will not be selling it to the likes of Google because we will be developing ourselves the data centers that are being supplied with this electricity. You will see us not signing necessarily PPAs with external parties at all.

Adi Leviatan: We will be using that power ourselves, realizing that we're sitting on a very valuable asset in the fact that we're generating electricity, and this electricity can be used for creditation for large loads for data centers, and we want to utilize that ourselves.

Operator: Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Christopher Souther from Truist. Please go ahead.

Christopher Souther: Hey, thanks for taking my question, congrats on the continued execution here. Can you talk about the two new European projects in Finland and Romania? I guess the returns here are a fair bit higher than the portfolio average. Is that anticipated returns or are there contracted portions as well? Then maybe just talk a little bit about how those pipelines are going to be. Were these opportunistic ways to get a foothold for future greenfield development, or are there potential programmatic relationships in some of these newer markets?

Adi Leviatan: Thank you for the question. We're very happy Truist initiating coverage, we appreciate that very much. In Finland and in Romania, we entered indeed by acquiring projects that are near RTB or at RTB, hence, as you remark, not greenfield, in order to get into the market as quickly as possible with this storage capacity, realizing the demand for storage is very high immediately. We do want to be there quickly connecting our batteries to provide this very high demand for time shifting services, meaning like the arbitrage and the day ahead and intraday markets as well as ancillary services, and joining the entire revenue stack.

Adi Leviatan: For each project, we do look at what is the best way for us to maximize the returns while still creating some base load of contracted revenues that will enable us also to provide a high level of financing with a high level of leverage. We balance those two. Generally speaking, when we look at these curves, the price curves in these markets, we see that there's significant opportunities both in ancillary services and in trading and arbitrage, and that there's still some opportunities to hedge and create some contracted revenues in a way that doesn't compromise our returns, like with floor contracts where we still are able to enjoy upsides. We take great care, and we see ourselves as excellent in managing the entire revenue stack to enable the highest returns while not compromising on our ability to finance these projects with significant leverage.

Christopher Souther: Got it. Okay. Just expanding into those, are there greenfield opportunities behind this or other M&A that you'd follow with?

Christopher Souther: Got it. Okay. Just expanding into those, are there greenfield opportunities behind this or other M&A that you'd follow with?

Adi Leviatan: We're already looking at additional projects in Finland and Romania. When it comes to these batteries, we try to get to the market as soon as possible because the highest returns are right now. We are also working on some projects that are generation and not storage, and those are also greenfield.

Christopher Souther: Got it. Okay. Maybe just last one from me. On the incremental safe harbor ahead of the 4 July deadline, how did you guys approach some of the earlier stage development pipeline safe harbor decisions and the risk-reward around projects with CODs that are approaching 2030? Just from a holistic perspective, how did you guys approach that?

Just from a holistic perspective, how did you guys approach that?

Adi Leviatan: Right. As you can see in the table for the projects that are in advanced development, we brought 91% of the gigawatts of those projects to safe harbor.

Itay Banayan: One project that wasn't safe harbored.

Itay Banayan: One project that wasn't safe harbored.

Adi Leviatan: There's one project that was not safe harbored. When we're looking at the early development or what's called development, we safe harbored 38%. We were careful in choosing what projects to safe harbor that where we're able to have continuous construction and COD before 2030, in order not to make investments into safe harboring, where we do not think that the project in terms of its timeline, when it's going to be getting its interconnection and when we're able to complete the offtake and complete the construction, it would not make it on time. We did one project at a time with all these considerations. You'll note that we added a fair bit of gigawatts just in these last few months.

Adi Leviatan: In the last quarter, we gave a range of 13 to 17, and finally, we decided about a few more projects that would cross that finish line, and we got to 17.9. That's because we had choice about which projects to make cross the line, and we want to make sure that we're making a decision that takes into account that likelihood of reaching COD by 2030.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question today comes from the line of Corinne Blanchard from Deutsche Bank. Please go ahead.

Corinne Blanchard: Hey, good morning. Thank you for taking my question. Maybe two questions. The first one, can you talk about expectation for assets sell down for the rest of the year and maybe going into 2027? The second question, if you can talk a little bit more about merchant pricing, especially in Europe and the kind of return that you're targeting there, and if anything has changed in the last couple of months, especially with some of the geopolitical events. Thank you.

Adi Leviatan: I'll ask Itay, the Chief Corporate Development Officer, to take the question about the sell downs.

Adi Leviatan: I'll ask Itay, the Chief Corporate Development Officer, to take the question about the sell downs.

Itay Banayan: Sure. Corinne, hey, good morning or good afternoon. In our guidance for the remainder of the year, there are no expectations for additional sell downs this year. We had some initial assumptions in the beginning of the year expecting the sunlight cluster to be sold, moving up from 44% to 70%. It was part of the initial terms of the initial disposition last year. For the remainder of this year, we do not expect additional sell downs. At least there is nothing in the guidance or in our numbers that it takes into consideration additional sell downs.

Adi Leviatan: Corinne, could you possibly repeat the second part of your question?

Adi Leviatan: Corinne, could you possibly repeat the second part of your question?

Corinne Blanchard: Yeah. No, I was asking just about maybe a broader view on the European market. I know you commented already on the storage side, but I was just more asking about merchant price in Europe and the kind of return you expect there and if anything has changed, maybe your approach to the European market or the dynamic in the European market, especially in the last couple of months with a lot of moving pieces geopolitically and so on.

Adi Leviatan: Well, I think anyone in Europe has noticed the heat wave. I think that the need for energy and for renewable energy in particular is at an all-time high. I'm sure you know that composition of electricity generation in Europe is already over 50% renewable if we just take an average of the whole continent, and some countries are well above that. Our strategy is to focus on the largest and fastest-growing renewable markets in Europe. That's why you see us moving, just in the last couple of quarters, moving into Germany, Finland, Romania, extending our presence in Poland significantly, hybridizing our existing assets in Spain, in Hungary, in Sweden. Our strategy is to go where the renewable energy is increasing its penetration. It's already high, but increasing its penetration.

Adi Leviatan: Creating this mismatch between the hours of production of electricity from renewable sources to the hours of demand by consumers. In that area where there's negative prices, that's the area where batteries are most required. They're required to do this time shifting between the hours, again, of production and consumption. They also serve in ancillary services for various network services. Our strategy is to come into these markets as soon as possible with battery capacity. That is the most lucrative play at the moment. At the same time, we do have a strategy to also maintain our technology mix, and maintain also generation opportunities. We will be pursuing these generation opportunities in markets as well that are accelerating the move from fossil fuels into renewable energy.

Corinne Blanchard: Thank you. If I may squeeze one more question, I see. Can you talk about balance sheet and what's your view or expectation in terms of do you need further capital to support some of that growth that you have highlighted? Just overall view on balance sheet and where you stand and what you might need in the next few quarters. Thank you.

Just overall view on balance sheet and where you stand and what you might need in the next few quarters. Thank you.

Itay Banayan: Sure, Corinne. As you remember, we're managing the balance sheet, it is important for us, as we grow, to focus on profitability, on free cash flows, return on equity, and also maintain the strong balance sheet and the credit rating that we already have. We measure the balance sheet, the leverage in debt to cap. On page 19 in the presentation, we're showing the progress, the development progress, and the financing progress for the remainder of the mature portfolio. The mature portfolio comprises of 3.9 factored gigawatts operating, and the remainder 8.4 factored gigawatts of under construction and pre-construction require about $8.9 billion of CapEx.
