Ormat Technologies, Inc. In Guatemala Ormat operates two geothermal power plants in Guatemala: the 23 MW Zunil power plant built in 1999 and the 20 MW Amatitlan power plant, which began generating power in 2007. During our more than 15 years of working in this Latin American country, Ormat’s community involvement activities have been directed through the Orpacaya Trust and Tigo Foundations to support education, health care, agriculture and food assurance and infrastructure development. We channel resources and ongoing financial support to five key communities located close to our two facilities in the San Vincente Pacaya region, which include the communities of San Francisco, Cedro, Calderas, Pepinal and Bejucal. Our intent is to forge healthy, sustainable, amicable and trust-based relationships with the local “cocodes” or community leaders. An inclusive approach that involves these individuals in decision-making about community priorities has helped facilitate this goal. Health clinics for the five communities now operate and in 2013 Ormat’s Orpacaya Trust paid the salary for a doctor and the transportation costs for medical visits to each community. In addition, a vehicle was converted into an ambulance and donated to the community. In the educational sector, in 2013 Ormat donated funds for classroom refurbishments at the local Pepinal and El Cedro schools, added computers, software, desks and chairs, as well as scholarships for several students and soccer uniforms for school team members. Sustaining healthy communities requires nutritious food. In 2013, Ormat donated hundreds of avocado plants and seed bags and supported training projects for local families in cooperation with the Agricultural United Fund.

In Honduras In 2013, Ormat completed the acquisition of the Geotermica Platanares geothermal project in Honduras, purchasing it from ELCOSA, a privately owned Honduran energy company. Ormat will hold the assets for approximately 15 years under a Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) structure, and it’s associated Power Purchase Agreement for up to 35 MW with ENEE, the national utility of Honduras. Before Ormat makes the decision to enter a particular country, region or community, we take a proactive approach to interacting with the people who live there. Whether we are considering the development of a new facility where none existed before, or when purchasing an existing facility from another entity, we initiate community consultation programs designed to building long-term, positive relationships. To create and nurture these relationships, which are vital to our company’s ongoing social license to operate, Ormat hosts gatherings to which community members are invited to attend for the purpose of sharing their views, posing questions about geothermal development, drilling and facility operations, learning more about the specifics of our company’s plans, including employment opportunities and meeting face-to-face with Ormat representatives who will play an ongoing role in the local area. Open, timely and transparent information exchange is Ormat’s objective for these sessions. Since the acquisition Ormat has hosted several such meetings with representatives from San Andres – the local community closest to the proposed development of the Geotermica Platanares project, which is expected to attain commercial operations in approximately three years.
