B.Impact of War in Israel

 

On February 28, 2026, Israel and the United States commenced a large-scale military campaign against Iran and on March 2, 2026, Hezbollah formally joined the war against Israel, attacking mainly northern Israel with rockets and missiles. During April 2026, a temporary ceasefire was agreed between Iran and Israel and the United States and thereafter (on April 17, 2026) a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, however fighting has since resumed in southern Lebanon and mainly northern Israel. Due to the ongoing hostilities in the area of the Manara PSP, works on the upper and lower reservoir have stopped, however tunneling works continued as planned. As of the reporting date, work is proceeding in a regular manner across the entire site. However, should the fighting in Lebanon intensify or the security situation in northern Israel deteriorate, additional delays may occur. There is regulatory protection for the senior debt (principal and interest) and for the developer’s expenses under financing-support standards, subject to the approval of the Israeli Electricity Authority. The Company’s management is in contact with the contractor, with the financing consortium, and with the Israeli Electricity Authority with the aim of advancing approval of a compensation framework for the Manara PSP. The discussions are at advanced stages, but at this point there is no certainty regarding the timing of approval of the compensation framework or the type of framework that will be approved.
