ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
ormat.comOrmat Technologies Inc (NYSE: ORA) is a geothermal energy company that develops, builds, owns, and operates geothermal and recovered energy power plants. Revenue comes primarily from long-term power purchase agreements under which utilities and other offtakers pay for electricity generated at Ormat-owned facilities, supplemented by product and service revenues from selling geothermal energy equipment and related services to third parties. The company operates across two reported segments: Electricity, which generates power from geothermal and recovered energy resources, and Product, which designs and manufactures power units and other equipment sold to developers worldwide.
