Portfolio (GW)

The Company is a public company the securities of which are listed for trade on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. (hereinafter – "the Stock Exchange").
As at the approval date of the report the Group is engaged, through subsidiaries, in two areas of activity that are reported as business segments in its financial statements:
4 The said rate of holdings does not take into account the profit participation units that were issued to employees of the CPV Group, as stated in Note 18C to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 ("the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2021").

2 The Group's activities in Israel also include the activities of Gnrgy, the shares of which (as at the approval date of the report –51%) were acquired by the Company in 2021.
3 To the best of the Company's knowledge, Veridis is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Veridis Environment Ltd., the securities of which are traded on the stock exchange.
From time to time, the Company examines possibilities for expansion of its activities in the area of generation and supply of electricity and energy, including by means of construction and/or acquisition of power plants (including renewable energy and storage) that are active, under construction or in the development stages, and advancement of projects, as stated, that are found to be suitable and that are consistent with the Company's business plans, as they will be from time to time, and expansion of its services and the synergies embedded in the Group's activities.
For additional details regarding the Group's activities in its activity areas – see Sections 2.2, 7 and 8 to Part A (Description of the Company's Business) of the Company's Periodic Report for 2021, ("the Periodic Report for 2021") and that stated in the Company's quarterly statements as at March 31, 2022 ("the First Quarter Report") and as at June 30, 2022 ("the Second Quarter Report"), which are included by means of reference5 .
5 It is clarified that in some cases an additional description has been provided in order to present a comprehensive picture of the matter described or of the relevant business environment. References to reports included in this report include the information included therein by means of reference.

A. Changes in the macro-economic environment (changes in inflation and interest) – in the period of the report, a macro-economic trend is discernable, both in Israel and worldwide, which is characterized by a sharp increase in the price levels, among other things against the background of geo-political events, particularly the war in the Ukraine, the global energy crisis that triggered a sharp increase in the energy and electricity prices, continuing disruptions in the supply chain and the impacts of the Corona virus. These events, have given rise to, among other things, a significant increase in the inflation rates in the U.S. and in Israel and, as a result, a significant hike in the interest rates.
These parameters have a significant impact on the local and global macro-economic environment, the overall growth rate, and the business environment in which the Group companies operate, due to, among other things, the prices of energy, electricity and natural gas, tariffs in the Israeli electricity sector, the costs of executing construction projects, financing expenses, and the like.
In this regard, in the last 12 months the CPI in Israel has risen by about 5.2%, and since the beginning of the year, Bank of Israel increased the interest rate in the economy a number of times, to the rate of 3.25% as at the approval date of the report.
In the United States, the CPI rose in the last 12 months by about 7.7% and since the beginning of the year the Federal Reserve Banks (the Fed) increased the interest rate in a number of increments to the rate of 3.75%–4.00% as at the approval date of the report.
B. Update of tariffs for 2022 – on February 1, 2022, the annual update of the electricity tariffs of the Electricity Authority for 2022 entered into effect, according to which the generation component, increased at the rate of about 13.6%, and stood at NIS 0.2869 per kilowatt hour commencing from February 1, 2022.
On May 1, 2022, an additional update to the electricity tariff for the rest of 2022 entered into effect, as a result of reduction of the excise tax on use of coal, due to a draft Excise Tax on Fuel Order, which was published by the Ministry of Finance as part of the government's plan to combat the high cost of living. The generation component after the reduction was NIS 0.2764 per kilowatt hour, a reduction of 3.7% from the tariff determined on February 1, 2022, as stated above.
On August 1, 2022, an additional update to the electricity tariff entered into effect for the remainder of 2022 whereby the generation component is NIS 0.314 per kilowatt hour, an increase of 13.6% over the tariff determined in May 2022 and 9.4% of the tariff determined in February 2022. As part of the hearing published by the Electricity Authority on July 11, 2022, it was noted that the background for the tariff update is the global energy crisis, which became more severe due to the war in the Ukraine, and that gave rise to a significant increase in the energy and electricity prices in many countries worldwide. Pursuant to the hearing, that stated led to a sharp increase in the index of the coal prices compared with the price on which the tariff update at the beginning of the year was based, and together with the increase in the dollar/shekel exchange rate and the CPI, the need was created for an update of the seller's cost and the electricity tariffs. For additional details regarding the generation tariff and its impact on the Group's activities in Israel – see Section 7.2.4 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021. It is noted that the update of the electricity tariff has a positive impact on the Group's results.
C. Update of the time of use (TOU) demand categories – further to that stated in Section 7.3.15.2 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021, on August 28, 2022 the Electricity Authority (hereinafter – "the Authority") published a decision to revise6 , the time of use (TOU) demand categories for purposes of adjusting the TOAZ structure for a significant integration of solar energy and storage (in this Section – "the Decision"). The Decision is substantially similar to the proposed Decision that was brought for hearing, as detailed in Section 7.3.15.2 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021. Pursuant to that stated in the Authority's publication, the update of the TOU demand categories is expected to encourage steering consumption to the noon hours wherein there is higher generation of renewable energy as opposed to consumption in the peak evening demand hours – this being by means of, among other things, raising the tariff in the demand hours and applying the following main updates: (a) moving the peak hours from the noon hours to the evening hours; (b) expanding the number of months wherein the peak hours apply in the summer season to 4 months in place of 2 months; (c) increase of the gap between the peak hours and the low-demand hours; and (d) definition of a maximum of two TOU categories for every day of the year (without an intermediate category – Geva). Change of the TOU categories in accordance with the decision is expected to increase the tariffs paid by household consumers and reduce the tariffs paid by TOAZ consumers.
Based on the Decision, the updated tariff structure will enter into effect upon update of the tariff to the consumer for 2023 (the tariff update is generally made in January). In addition, the Decision provides that in light of the frequent sectorial changes and the need to express the correct sectorial cost, the TOU categories will be updated more frequently, based on the actual changes. Concurrent with publication of the Decision to update the TOU demand categories, the Authority published a decision for hearing that is primarily aimed at making of adjustments to a number of arrangements relating to generation facilities that are impacted by changes in the tariff structure (including an arrangement for cogeneration facilities).
In the Company's estimation, the Decision is expected to have a negative impact on its revenues in Israel from 2023 compared with the TOU demand in effect at the time of the aforesaid update. Ultimately, the impact is affected by the manner of implementation of the decision as part of update of the annual tariff which has not yet been determined. The Company is taking actions to adjust the mix of its sales in Israel in order to minimize the scope of the impact of the update on its results, however as at the signing date of the report there is no certainty regarding the outcome of the said actions7 .
For additional details regarding developments in the activities in Israel – see Section 10 below.

https://www.gov.il/BlobFolder/news/press_mashab082022/he/files_hadashot_press_mashab_idkun_08_2022.pdf
7 It is clarified that that stated above regarding the Company's estimates with reference to the impact of the decision to revise the hour categories on the Company's revenues and the Company's actions aimed at reducing the scope of the impact constitute "forward-looking" information as it is defined in the Securities Law, and is based on the Company's estimates as at the date of the report. The said information and estimates may not materialize and/or may materialize in a different manner due to, among other things, factors not known to the Company as at the date of the report or that are not under the Company's control.

The natural gas price is significant in determination of the price of the electricity in most of the regions in which the power plants of the CPV Group operate (this is the fuel used by the conventional power plants of the CPV Group).
In the estimation of the CPV Group, in general, in the existing production mix, over time, to the extent the natural-gas prices are higher, the marginal energy prices will also be higher, and will have a positive impact on the energy margins of the CPV Group due to the efficiency of the power plants it owns (the impact could be different between the projects taking into account their characteristics and the area (region) in which they are located). This impact could be offset, in whole or in part, by programs hedging electricity margins in the natural-gas powered power plants of the CPV Group, which are intended to reduce volatility in the CPV Group's electricity margins due to changes in the commodity prices in the energy market (for additional details regarding agreements for hedging electricity margins in the CPV Group in the period of the report and thereafter – see Section 4D(5) below).
The natural gas prices are impacted by a large number of variables, including demand in the industrial, residential and electricity sectors, production and supply of natural gas, natural-gas production costs, changes in the pipeline infrastructure, international trade and the financial profile and the hedging profile of the natural-gas customers and producers. The price for import of liquid natural gas impacts the natural gas price in the winter months in New England and New York, and directly impacts the Fairview and Valley power plants.
Set forth below are the average natural gas in each of the main markets in which the power plants of the CPV Group operate (the prices are denominated in dollars per MMBtu)*:

D. Electricity and natural gas prices (Cont.)
Natural gas prices (Cont.)
The natural gas prices in CPV's activity markets increased significantly in the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2022, compared with the corresponding periods last year. In the estimation of the CPV Group, the said increase stems from, among other things, an increase in demand for electricity in the U.S., a strengthening of the global demand for natural gas, particularly due to the energy and gas crisis that causes an increase in exports of natural gas, liquid natural gas from the United States to Europe (which imported a significant quantity of natural gas for storage and to offset the decline in the import of natural gas from Russia), inventory levels of natural gas that are lower than in the past, and a limited increase in production of natural gas.
Subsequent to the date of the report, when the storage levels of the natural gas in Europe reached their targets and the weather for the period was relatively favorable, the international gas prices declined from the level in the third quarter of 2022.
The following table summarizes the average electricity prices in each of the main markets in which power plants of the CPV Group are active (the prices are denominated in dollars per megawatt hour):

Note: Based on Day-Ahead prices as published by the relevant ISO. It is clarified that the actual gas prices of the power plants of the CPV Group could be significantly different.
The increase in the electricity prices in the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 compared with the corresponding periods last year, stems mainly from the increase in the natural gas prices as detailed above.

E. Capacity payments
In the PJM market, the capacity payments vary between the market's sub-regions, as a function of local supply and demand and transmission capabilities.
Set forth below are the capacity tariffs in the sub-regions that are relevant to CPV's power plants and in the general market (the prices are denominated in dollars per megawatt per day):
| Sub-Region | CPV Plants8 | 92023/2024 | 102022/2023 | 2021/2022 | 2020/2021 |

As determined in capacity tenders in June 2022. 10 As determined in capacity tenders in June 2021.
E. Capacity payments (Cont.)
Similar to the PJM market, in the NYISO market capacity payments are made in the framework of a central mechanism for acquisition of capacity. In the NYISO market, there are a number of submarkets, wherein there could be various capacity demands as a function of local supply and demand and transmission capability. NYISO makes seasonal tenders in every spring for the upcoming summer (the months of May through October) and in the fall for the upcoming winter (the months of November through April). In addition, there are supplemental monthly tenders for the balance of the capacity not sold in the seasonal tenders. The power plants are permitted to assure the capacity payments in the seasonal tender, the monthly tender or through bilateral sales.
Set forth below are the capacity prices determined in the seasonal tenders in NYISO market (the prices are denominated in dollars per kilowatt per month):
| Sub-Area | CPV Plants |
Winter 2022/2023 | Summer 2022 | Winter 2021/2022 | Summer 2021 |

| Lower Hudson Valley | Valley | 1.31 | 4.65 | 1.01 | 4.56 |
Source: NYISO
It is noted that the Valley power plant is located in Area G (Lower Hudson Valley) and the actual capacity prices for the Valley power plants are impacted by the seasonal tenders, the monthly tenders and the SPOT prices, with variable capacity prices every month, as well as bilateral agreements with energy suppliers in the market.
E. Capacity payments (Cont.)
The ISO-NE permits capacity payments as part of a central mechanism for acquisition of capacity. In the ISO-NE market, there are a number of submarkets, wherein there could be various capacity demands as a function of local supply and demand and transmission capability. Forward capacity tenders are made three years in advance for the capacity year. In addition, there are supplemental monthly tenders for the balance of the capacity not sold in the Forward tenders.
The Towantic power plant participated for the first time in an capacity tender for 2018–2019 at a price of \$9.55 KW/month and determination of the tariff for seven years in respect of 725 megawatts linked to the Utilities Inputs Index, which will apply up to May 2025. In March 2022, Towantic participated in the annual capacity tender for 2025–2026 and won a guaranteed capacity price of \$2.59 kilowatt/month and for 745 megawatts.
F. The Inflation Reduction Act ("the IRA Law") – on August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed by the President of the U.S. and it became law which, among other things, grants significant tax credits for renewable energies and technologies from reduction of carbon emissions, and its target is to lead to an increase of the generation of renewable energies and the regulatory stability in the area.
The IRA Law includes, a number of benefits for renewable energy projects, including, among others: (1) an investment tax credit (ITC) – fixing the rate of the tax benefit to 30% and extension of the period of eligibility for the benefit to 10 years ("the Base Credit"). Also, additional credits are included at the rate of 10% each of the Base Credit subject to the existence of certain conditions, including: (a) construction of projects on Brownfield sites or coal mine sites or carbon power plants that have been shut down, or (b) for use of equipment or raw materials made in the U.S.; (2) a production tax credit (PTC) – fixing the benefit tariff at \$27.5 per megawatt hour and extension of the benefit period to 10 years; and (3) the possibility of selling the tax credits to unrelated parties. Furthermore, commencing from 2023, renewable energy projects with zero emissions will be able to choose between claiming a PTC or an ITC.
In addition, IRA Law includes a tax credit for electricity generation facilities having carbon capture capability at the rate of about 75% of the emission. The rate of the credit will be \$60 per ton of carbon for carbon removed by injection into active oil wells (Enhanced Oil Recovery) and \$85 per ton of carbon for carbon interred in a permanent manner. This benefit is granted as a direct payment during the first five years and as a tax credit during an additional 7 years.
In the estimation of the CPV Group, the IRA Law is expected to have a favorable impact on the renewable energy projects that are in the development stage and that are under construction, including Maple Hill and Stagecoach (for additional details regarding the projects – see Sections 6A, 6C and 6D below) and, among other things, to increase the value of the tax credits that is expected to be received compared with the situation prior to passage of the Climate Law. It is noted that even though some of the regulatory arrangements have not yet been finalized, there is a possible positive impact on the entitlement of some of the Group's renewable energy projects to a higher tax credit due to their location (for example, on areas that were former coal mines), including the Maple Hill project. The CPV Group estimates that it will choose tax benefits of the ITC type for the Maple Hill project and for an additional project that is presently in the development stage and it is examining the economic feasibility of ITC or PTC benefits for the Stagecoach project, taking into the arrangements provided. Also, the possibility of selling the tax credits is expected to increase the Group's ability to realize part of the value of the tax credits of its renewable projects and to improve the investment conditions.
With reference to the conventional projects of the CPV Group that are in the development stage, as stated in Section 6F below (backlog of projects), and that integrate technologies for carbon capture, the IRA Law is expected to have a positive impact in all that relating to the technological benefits for carbon capture provided in the Law. As at the approval date of the report, the full impacts of the IRA Law have not yet been finally clarified, and they are expected to be clarified upon formulation of the detailed arrangements (regulations).11
For additional details regarding developments in the Company's activities in the U.S. – see Section 6 below.
11 That stated in connection with the main impacts of the IRA Law and its application to projects of the CPV Group, constitutes "forward-looking" information, as it is defined in the Securities Law, and it constitutes merely an estimate that is based on the information, estimates and forecasts in the possession of the management of the CPV Group as at the approval date of the report, among other things, based on the language of the legislation published and the existing business plans. This information is contingent on the existence of various factors, including factors that are not under the Company's control, such as, the final arrangements that will be determined, realization of the development plans of the backlog of the projects, compliance with the eligibility conditions, development of technologies etc. Accordingly, that stated above may not materialize and/or may materialize in a manner different than that described above.
The Group's activities in Israel and the United States are subject to seasonal fluctuations (for additional details regarding seasonal impacts – see Sections 7.10 and 8.7 to Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021).
In Israel, the TOAZ tariffs are supervised (controlled) and published by the Electricity Authority, and as at the applicable date of the report are broken down into three seasons – summer (July and August), winter (January, February and December) and transition (March through June and September through November). The TOAZ tariff in the summer and the winter are higher than those in the transition seasons. For details regarding a decision to update the hourly demand categories of the TOAZ (including the months of the year's seasons and the categories of the daily hours) commencing from the tariff update for 2023 – see Section 3.2C above.
In the United States, the electricity tariffs are not supervised (controlled) and are impacted by the demand for electricity, which is high in the summer and the winter compared with the average and as a function of the natural gas prices.
In light of the said seasonality, generally the preference is to concentrate, to the extent possible, the maintenance work on the power plants during the transition periods, which are characterized, as stated, by relatively lower demand.

The Company defines "EBITDA" as earnings (losses) before depreciation and amortization, financing expenses or income and taxes on income.
The Company defines "adjusted EBITDA" as earnings (losses) after adjustments in respect of changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments and items not in the ordinary course of the Group's business and/or having a non-recurring nature. For details regarding adjustments during the period – see Section E below.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA data are not recognized under IFRS or under any other generally accepted accounting standards as an indicator for the measurement of financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for profit or loss, cash flows from operating activities or other terms of operational performance or liquidity prescribed under IFRS.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not intended to represent monies that are available for distribution of dividends or other uses, since such monies may be used for servicing debt, capital expenditures, working capital and other liabilities. EBITDA is characterized by limitations that impair its use as an indicator of the Company's profitability, since it does not take into account certain costs and expenses deriving from the Company's business, which could materially affect its income, such as financing expenses, taxes on income and depreciation.
The Company believes that the adjusted EBITDA data provides transparent information that is useful to investors in examining the Company's operating performances and in comparing them against the operating performance of other companies in the same sector or in other sectors (industries) with different capital structures, debt levels and/or income tax rates. This data item is also used by Company management when examining the Company's performance. The Company believes that these indices, which are not in accordance with IFRS, provide useful information to investors since they improve the comparability of the financial results between periods and provide greater transparency of the main indices used for evaluating the Company's performance.

17 After elimination of management fees between the CPV Group and the Company, in the amounts of about NIS 15 million and about NIS 11 million in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
16 Rotem's adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 includes the amount of about NIS 4 million relating to the results of the virtual supply activities belonging to Rotem.
Set forth below is an analysis of the change in adjusted EBITDA in Israel and the Group's headquarters for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 compared with the corresponding period last year (in NIS millions):


In March 2022, the activities of the Rotem Power Plant were shut down for a period of 12 days for purposes of performance of unplanned maintenance work to repair a malfunction, which was repaired; and further to that stated in Section 7.11.1 to Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021 and in the First Quarter Report, the activities of the power plant were shut down in April 2022 for purposes of performance of planned maintenance work which lasted 26 days, after which the power plant returned to regular activities. The next planned maintenance at the Rotem Power Plant is expected to take place in the spring of 2024.
As stated in the report for the first quarter, at the end of April 2022, the steam turbine of the Hadera Power Plant was shut down for maintenance purposes, where in the course of the work, repair work was also performed in the gas turbines As stated in the report for the second quarter, repair of the gas turbines was completed, where the shutdown due to repair of the steam turbine was extended beyond that stated in the report for the second quarter owing to additional required repairs and as at the approval date of the report the steam turbine is expected to return to service by the end of 2022. During the period of time wherein the maintenance work is being performed in the steam turbine, the Hadera Power Plant is being operated on a partial basis. As stated above, shutdown of the Hadera Power Plant's activities for purposes of performance of the maintenance work, as stated, had an unfavorable impact on Hadera's results in the period of the report and is expected to adversely impact Hadera's results in the fourth quarter of 202218 .
During the above-mentioned maintenance, sale of the electricity to the Company's customers continued, where the Company purchased electricity from a third party in order to supply the full scope of the demand in the shutdown period.
18 That stated in this Section above, including with reference to the expected completion of the maintenance work, the impact of the work on Hadera's results, the duration of the period of the said work and/or the completion thereof, includes "forward-looking" information, as it is defined in the Securities Law. The information regarding performance of the renovation work and the impact thereof may not be realized, or may be realized in a different manner, including as a result of reasons that are not under Hadera's control, such as constraints the source of which is the contractor or equipment supplier, the manner of performance of the maintenance work, technical breakdowns or delays in arrival of the equipment or teams to the site and/or other delays, which could impact the performance of the power plant duration of the shutdown. It is noted that partial operation or shutdown of the Hadera Power Plant during extended periods could impact Hadera's ability to comply with the power plant's availability provisions (regarding this matter – see also Section 7.11.1 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021) and have a negative impact on the results of Hadera's activities. For details regarding an arbitration proceeding with the construction contractor of the Hadera Power Plant – see Note 7C(3) to the Interim Statements.
Set forth below is an analysis of the change in the adjusted EBITDA in the U.S. for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 compared with the corresponding period last year (in millions of NIS):

Period prior to the initial consolidation – adjusted EBITDA in respect of the CPV Group from January 1, 2021 and up to January 25, 2021 (the acquisition date).
One-time events and hedges – in addition to the regularly existing hedging program at the CPV Group, in the corresponding period last year the CPV Group enjoyed receipts in respect of hedging agreements, which are not current and are not expected to recur, in the amount of about NIS 28 million, due to income from an RPO hedging agreement in the Valley power plant, along with income for a hedging agreement of the HRCO type in the Shore power plant.

The efficiency of the power plants of the CPV Group and the high natural gas prices contributed to an increase in the electricity margins. The total available electricity margin for the active power plants of the CPV Group, for the relative share of the CPV Group, and on the assumption of full capacity, increased in the period of the report by about NIS 352 million, compared with the corresponding quarter last year. The capacity payments in the period of the report decreased by about NIS 2 million compared with the corresponding period last year.
As at the approval date of the report, most of the energy hedging agreements of the CPV Group are for periods of up to one year. As at the approval date of the report, the estimate of the CPV Group is that about 87% and 43% of the gross margin, which includes the electricity margin and capacity of the power plants of the CPV Group using conventional technology, will be hedged for the balance of 2022 and on average for 2023, respectively20 (about 82% and 33% of the electricity margin with no capacity for the rest of 2022 and 2023, respectively).
It is noted that the change in the future energy prices triggered a demand for provision of collaterals (that are not lien-based) in order to secure liabilities to the parties to the hedging agreements, in the Valley, Maryland and Towantic. The scope of the collaterals, as stated (for 100% of the above-mentioned power plants) was about \$73 million as at September 30, 2022 (of which about \$24 million reflects the share of the CPV Group in the collaterals). In addition, in August 2022, the CPV Group deposited monies, in the amount of \$20 million, to secure a hedge in the Valley power plant, where the partner in the project provided the same amount.
19 As part of the risk management policy, the CPV Group enters into, on an ongoing basis, agreements for hedging part of the electricity margins with the goal of reducing the volatility that characterizes the commodities market, in general, and the energy and natural gas prices, in particular, and also to lock in income that it believes constitutes high income, both from an historical standpoint and based on an analysis of the current (SPOT) and future market(s). The hedging agreements are signed with respect to the gas and electricity prices (that is, the electricity margin), in accordance with the relevant characteristics for each power plant for which the hedge is executed, and they are generally for short periods, mostly up to 12 months forward. In the period of the report, there are hedging agreements for the Fairview, Shore, Maryland and Towantic power plants, and commencing with the third quarter of 2022 for the Valley power plant as well. In addition to the current hedging plans, as stated, the CPV Group has Revenue Put Option (RPO) agreements, which were signed for some of the power plants with the goal of assuring a minimum cash flow to service the debt and they are not expected to continue or be renewed beyond their original expiration dates.
20 That stated regarding the estimates of the hedging rates and the hedging policy constitutes "forward-looking" information as it is defined in the Securities Law, which is based on the estimates and forecasts of the CPV Group as at the approval date of the report and regarding which there is no certainty it will be realized and/or it is subject to changes based on business discretion of the CPV Group. That stated could change as a result of, among other things, changes in the market conditions, availability constraints, changes in the estimates that are the basis of the estimates, as stated.

The CPV Group is developing two natural gas projects that are based on a strategy of reduced emissions, which are expected to include use of advanced technologies that include integration of interment of carbon. The projects are expected to include carbon capture on the sites in the estimated scope of up to at least about 95% of the emissions, and the gas turbines are capable of integrating hydrogenium. In the estimation of the CPV Group, the projects are located in areas where interment of carbon is expected to be possible from a geological and economically standpoint.
In this framework, on September 16, 2022, the CPV Group gave notice of advancement of development of a power plant with reduced emissions powered by natural gas with an estimated scope of about 2 gigawatts, which integrates carbon capture and storage technologies, located in West Virginia in the United States. In the assessment of the CPV Group, the cost of construction of a project of this scope and type is estimated at about \$3 billion to \$4 billion. The project, if ultimately executed, is expected to enjoy the tax benefits provided by law. Construction of the project is subject to, among other things, completion of various development processes (environmental, technological, land development, etc.), licensing and financing processes, and receipt of the relevant required approvals, as well as approval of the competent organs of the Company and of the CPV Group for the project.
In the estimation of the CPV Group, completion of the development process for a project of this size, is expected, assuming it is ultimately completed, to reach the construction stage in the upcoming years.
48 That stated in this Section above regarding the development projects that are based on a strategy of reduced emissions or carbon capture, the capacity of the projects, the scope of the reduced emissions, integration of advanced technologies and conformance of the geological and economic conditions, as well as with reference to the project's technological characteristics in West Virginia (capacity, carbon capture capacity and storage), estimated construction costs, entitlement to benefits, expected construction and/or operation dates, includes "forward-looking" information, as it is defined in the Securities Law, which is based solely on estimates and plans of the CPV Group as at the approval date of the report and regarding which there is no certainty it will be realized or the manner of its realization. As at the approval date of the report, the projects are in the development stages, and their actual advancement and the rate of the said advancement are subject to the existence of various conditions (such as, receipt of approvals, licensing processes, completion of the project development and technological capabilities, assurance of financing, formulation of final costs, etc.), including those that are not under the control of the CPV Group and that had not been fulfilled as at the approval date of this report. In addition, advancement of the projects and their approval are subject to the discretion of the competent organs of the CPV Group and of the Company, and the non-realization of one or more of the risk factors to which the Company and/or the CPV Group are exposed. As stated in Section 8.20 of the Company's Periodic Report for 2021. Therefore, as at the approval date of this report, there is no certainty regarding the actual execution of the projects (in whole or in part).

In addition, as at the approval date of the report the amount of the consideration of the costs involved with the transaction are not final and could change due to, among other things, the above-mentioned adjustments and/or conditions of a financing agreement and/or the scope of provision of collaterals in connection with the closing of the transaction.

In addition, on November 3, 2022, the Company and Veridis agreed to extend the time period for completion of the rest of the preconditions for execution of the transaction up to December 4, 2022, including and further to the Company's Immediate Report dated September 8, 2022 (Reference No.: 2022-01-093396), completion by Israel 3 Infrastructures Fund Limited Partnership ("Israel Infrastructures") of formulation and execution of the designated transactions so that capacity and/or rights that are attributed to Israel Infrastructures will not be attributed to the Company, which to the best of the Company's knowledge holds, indirectly, about 11% of the share capital of Veridis. Based on the information provided to the Company, Israel Infrastructures is taking action to advance that stated and is holding talks with the Electricity Authority in connection with the actions required for this purpose. For additional details regarding the transaction, the conditions for its completion and the terms of the shareholders' agreement – see Section 2.4.3 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021, Immediate Reports of the Company dated May 9, 2022, August 24, 2022 and November 6, 2022 (Reference Nos.: 2022-01-045294, 2022-01-107986 and 2022-01-133168, respectively) and Note 7B(1) to the Interim Statements.

C. Energean agreements – further to that stated in Note 28G to the consolidated reports for 2021, Section 7.14.6 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021, Section 3D of the Report of the Board of Directors attached to report for the second quarter, and Note 7B(3) to the Interim Statements, on October 26, 2022, Energean published that it commenced flowing the first gas from the Karish reservoir, and that the commercial operation of the Karish Tanin reservoir is expected during a period of six months from the date of the report. In addition, Energean notified the Company that the test run period of the reservoir has started, during which the Company is acquiring an insignificant quantity of natural gas from Energean. On November 6, 2022, Rotem and Hadera delivered a notification to Energean of exercise of the option to acquire an additional, insignificant quantity, as stated in the amendment to the Energean agreement (for details – see Note 7B(3) to the Interim Statements).
It is noted that in the past months, based on publications, a security (defense) threat has been heard with respect to the Karish Tanin facilities and natural gas facilities in Israel by anti-Israel entities. In this connection it is noted that, based on publications, in October a marine border agreement was signed by the State of Israel and Lebanon, which based on publications is intended to, among other things, address arrangement of the rights in the bordering areas. It ins noted that security tension or a harmful attack on the facilities relating to production of the natural gas could impact the start date of supply of the gas from the Karish Tanin reservoir or the proper supply of natural gas in Israel. For details regarding a risk factor regarding the political and security situation in Israel – see Section 18.1.3 of the Description of the Company's Business in the Periodic Report for 2021. In the Company's estimation, upon commencement of flow of the gas from the Karish reservoir, an annual monetary savings is expected estimated at about NIS 60 million, based on the average projected gas consumption of Rotem and Hadera.
That stated above, including regarding dates (also with reference to the commercial operation date of the Karish Tanin reservoir), the final gas quantities under each of the gas agreements and/or the defense exposures relating to operation of the reservoir, and/or regarding estimate of the expected monetary savings, includes "forward-looking" information, as it is defined in the Securities Law, regarding which there is no certainty it will be realized or the manner of its realization, which is dependent on, among other things, factors that are not under the Company's control, operating factors, third parties, changes in the actual gas consumption, currency rate of exchange, etc. A delay in the commercial operation of the Karish Tanin reservoir (particularly a significant delay beyond the period of the Reduction Notification) could have a negative impact, even a significant one, on the activities and results of Rotem and Hadera and, accordingly, on the results of the Company's activities.
D. Maintenance activities in the Tamar reservoir – further to that stated in the Report of the Board of Directors for the second quarter, in October 2022 maintenance activities were performed in the Tamar reservoir, which lasted for 8 days, during which time no natural gas was supplied from the reservoir. During the maintenance period, the Group companies acquired natural gas from other sources at prices higher than the price stipulated in the Tamar agreements, in the aggregate amount of about NIS 4 million. In addition, the maintenance work had a negative impact that is not significant to the Company on the efficiency of the Rotem and Hadera power plants, which operated at a partial load and were required to purchase energy from a third party for customers. As at the approval date of the report, the Tamar reservoir had returned to full activities. Regarding the impact of a deficiency in the supply of fuels and fuel costs – see Section 18.2.2 to Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021.

E. Tender for sale of Eshkol as part of the reform of Israel Electric Company55 – in July 2022, a notification was received from the Electric Company that the Company has passed the early classification stage in the tender56. For additional details regarding the reform in the Electric Company – see Section 7.2.11 of the Description of the Company's Business in the Periodic Report for 2021.
For details regarding a petition to the Supreme Court sitting as the High Court of Justice filed against the Business Concentration Committee and the Company by Shikun & Binui Ltd. in connection with the possibility of the Company participating in the tender for acquisition of the Eshkol power plant, and the summary rejection thereof by the High Court of Justice – see the Company's Immediate Reports dated September 18, 2022 and September 19, 2022 (Reference Nos.: 2022-01-118237 and 2022-01-096165, respectively).
F. Open matters with the Electric Company and Noga Management of the Electricty System Ltd. ("the System Operator") and supplementary arrangements regarding Rotem's matters – further to that stated in Section 7.15.5.1 and of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021 and Note 28(C) to the consolidated financial statements for 2021, in March 2022 a compromise agreement was signed between Rotem and the Electric Company for purposes of arranging certain open matters between the parties in connection with Rotem's PPA agreement with the Electric Company. As part of the compromise agreement, Rotem paid the Electric Company the amount of about NIS 5.5 million in respect of a prior dispute regarding collection differences as a result of non-transfer of meter data in the years 2013 through 2015, and in respect of prior settlements regarding the acquisition cost of energy for Rotem's customers in cases of load reductions of the System Operator, as defined in the agreement. The said compromise agreement is consistent with the Company's estimates and the provisions recorded. It is noted that the compromise agreement does not constitute a settlement or waiver of claims of the parties and/or the System Operator regarding other existing or future open matters (including with respect to existing open matters with the System Operator that are in dispute as at the publication date of this report). In this regard, it is noted that in the period of the report, the System Operator contacted Rotem with a contention in connection with transmission of surplus energy not in coordination with him (Rotem disputes the contention), further to open matters, as stated in Section 7.15.5.1 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021, which to the best of Rotem's understanding are expected to be impacted by supplemental arrangements that the Electricity Authority is expected to determine with respect to its matters, as stated in the Periodic Report. As stated, as at the approval date of the report the disputes between Rotem and the System Operator had not yet been resolved and could have a negative impact on the scope of the operation of Rotem and its results and/or initiation of proceedings.
To the best of the Company's knowledge, as at the approval date of the report the Electricity Authority is expected to advance application of supplemental arrangements to Rotem, as stated in Section 7.13.2 of the Periodic Report for 202157. For additional details regarding the arrangements applicable to Rotem and the potential impacts of supplemental arrangements being considered, to the best of Rotem's knowledge – see Sections 7.3.13.7(E), 7.13.2, 7.13.4 and 18.3.6 of the Periodic Report for 2021. As at the approval date of the report, a hearing for the matter has not yet been announced and, accordingly, there is no certainty regarding the conditions of the said arrangements should they ultimately ripen into a decision.
G. Sorek Center – the Company entered into the preliminary classification stage in a tender with respect to a PPP-type project, for financing, planning, construction, operation, maintenance, and transfer to the State of a two-fuel conventional power plant that is designated to be constructed in Sorek, with a capacity of 600–900 megawatts, with an option for future expansion, as will be determined by the Electricity Authority58 .
55 For additional details – Section 7.2.11.2 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021.
56 It is clarified that there is no certainty that the Company will submit a purchase offer (bid) as part of the tender. Submission of a bid, as stated, is subject to, among other things, the discretion of the Company's competent authorities.
57 That stated above, including with respect to the supplemental arrangements, the impacts thereof on Rotem and/or advancement by the Electricity Authority constitutes "forward-looking" information as it is defined in the Securities Law, which is based on the information known to the Company as at the approval date of the report, and regarding which there is no certainty it will materialize – this being due to factors not under the Company's control. Ultimately, the conditions of the supplemental arrangements, should they actually be determined, could be different than those noted in the Periodic Report for 2021. In addition, there is no certainty regarding the advancement and/or application of the decision on the matter.
58 It is clarified that there is no certainty that the Company will pass the preliminary classification stage and/or will submit a purchase offer as part of the tender. Submission of an offer, as stated, is subject to, among other things, the discretion of the Company competent organs.

H. Market model for generation and storage facilities connected to or integrated into the distribution network – in September 2022, a decision of the Electricity Authority was published that governs the activities of the generation and storage facilities in the distribution network and provides the possibility for them to sell electricity directly to the suppliers, commencing from January 2024. In addition, as part of the decision the formula for acquisition of electricity through a virtual supplier was revised. As a practical matter, the decision permits opening of the supply sector to competition while removing the quotas previously provided for this matter. In the Company's estimation, the decision reduces the viability of the virtual supplier activities compared with the conditions that existed prior to the decision.
For additional details regarding significant events – see this report below and Notes 8 and 9 to the Interim Statements.
As of the approval date of this report, as the Company was informed, the Projects sell their entire electricity and green energy certificates (RECs), under separate power purchase agreements (PPAs), for the next 13 to 19 years, with the majority of the capacity to be sold in the next 15 years. To the extent the Potential Transaction is completed, the Company is expected to double its current EBITDA deriving from renewable energy in the United States60 .
The consideration in the Potential Transaction is estimated at USD 172 million, subject to the adjustments and the terms and conditions to be finalized in the acquisition agreement, if signed.
As of the approval date of this report, the parties signed an exclusivity agreement, and are in advanced negotiation toward entering into a binding agreement. The exclusivity agreement stipulates that the CPV Group will exclusively negotiate the acquisition of the Projects and form a binding agreement by January 7, 2023 (with extension option under certain conditions). The Potential Transaction, if signed, will be subject to conditions precedent to be set in the binding agreement, including the receipt of regulatory approvals in the United States, which are expected to be obtained within 2 to 5 months of the signing date of a binding agreement (if ultimately signed)61 .
59 That stated constitutes "forward-looking" information as it is defined in the Securities Law, which is based solely on the estimates of the CPV Group. Ultimately, that stated may not materialize or may materialize in a different manner – this being due to factors relating to the market conditions as they will be and/or factors not under the Group's control. 60 For details regarding the results of the renewable energy activities in the U.S. – see Section 4B and Section 5B, above.
61 It is clarified that that stated in this Section above, including regarding the possibility of entering into the Potential Transaction and/or its conditions, the characteristics of the Project, the expectation of doubling the present EBITDA, estimate of the consideration in the Potential Transaction, the anticipated dates of the acquisition and/or the completion of the Potential Transaction, constitutes "forward-looking" information as it is defined in the Securities Law, which is based solely on the estimates of the CPV Group as at the approval date of the report There is no certainty regarding the realization or the manner of the realization of the said information, and this includes that, as at the approval date of the report, there is no certainty regarding the Project's results (which are subject to risk factors relating to a project of this type) and/or completion of the Potential Transaction, which is currently being negotiated and its execution, if executed, is subject to the fulfillment of various conditions (including the negotiations and formulation of a binding agreement, receipt of approvals, etc.), including those that are not under the Company's control and that had not been fulfilled as at the approval date of the report.
For additional details regarding significant events – see this report below and Notes 6,7 and 9 to the Interim Statements.
In the period of the report, there were no significant changes in the details of the existing (outstanding) series of debentures issued by the Company and that were offered to the public pursuant to a prospectus, the details of the trustees for the debentures, the conditions for calling of the debentures for immediate repayment, the Company's compliance and the said conditions and the collaterals for the debentures, as detailed in Section 10 of the Report of the Board of Directors in the Periodic Report for 2021 and in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for 2021. For additional details regarding reconfirmation of the issuer's rating – see Note 6A(1) to the Interim Statements. On March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, payments of principal were made with respect to the Company's debentures (Series B). For details – see the Immediate Reports dated March 31, 2022 and October 2, 2022 (Reference Nos.: 2022-01-122797 and 2022-01-041281
The Company is in compliance with all the conditions of the Company's debentures (Series B and Series C) and the trust certificates. The Company was not required to take any action in accordance with the request of the trustees for the said debentures.
A. The Coronavirus and the broad global impacts on raw-material prices and supply chains – in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus to be a worldwide pandemic. Despite taking preventative measures in order to reduce the risk of spread of the virus, the virus has continued to spread, including different variants that developed, and it has caused significant business and economic uncertainty. In the period of the report, the restrictions on movement (travel) and carrying on of business and trade in the Company's areas of activity were lifted. In light of the dynamic nature of the virus (development of additional variants) and the consequences of ongoing events that are related to the virus (such as an increase in the prices of raw materials and transport costs), there remains uncertainty regarding the broad-sweeping impacts of the Coronavirus crisis, on the markets and factors relating the Company's activities.
In the period of the report and thereafter, due to high global demand for raw materials and transport and dispatch, the significant increase in the costs of the raw materials continued, and delays in the generation and supply chain are visible. Accordingly, global delays have been caused in the equipment supply dates along with an increase in the prices of raw materials and equipment used for construction and maintenance of the Group's generation facilities and power plants. This trend impacts the construction and/or maintenance costs of the Group's projects in its activity markets and the timetables for their completion, as noted in Section 2 above. In addition, the impact of this trend is particularly visible in connection with development projects (including energy generation facilities) and with respect to availability and prices of solar panels for solar projects in the development stage or under construction of the CPV Group. As at the approval date of the report, there is no certainty with respect to the continuation or scope of the trend and, therefore, the Group is not able to estimate with any degree of certainty the impact thereof on the Group's activities.
For additional details regarding the Coronavirus crisis and its impacts on the Group's activities – see Sections 7.3.8, 7.11.1, 7.15.1 and 18.1.6 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021 and Note 28D to the consolidated financial statements for 2021.
B. Significant changes in the macro-economic environment – as detailed in Section 18 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021, the macro-economic environment, which is characterized by high rates of inflation and interest-rate hikes, could impact the Group's activities in a number of ways including, the interest and linkage in respect of the loans taken out and the debentures sold by the Group companies, which is variable interest (as detailed in this Section below), will increase and, in turn, also the Company's financing expenses, and the increases in commodity prices and raw materials will increase the expenses of the Group's projects, along with an increase in salary expenses, maintenance and equipment costs. Furthermore, the increase in the interest rate could have an impact on the value in use of the Group's power plants on the balance of the goodwill and on the fair value of the liability in respect of the profit-sharing plan in the CPV Group. It is pointed out that pursuant to the examination made by the Company, the increase in the interest rate in the period of the report did not cause a decline in the value of the Group's assets. It is noted that changes in the currency exchange rates also impact the Company. For additional details – see Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements for 2021.
Set forth below is a brief summary of the impact of the macro-economic changes, as stated, on the Company based on its estimates as at the period of the report, while taking into account the uncertainty that characterizes the factors described above as at the publication date of the report, the Company is unable to estimate the extent of their impact on its future results:
The following table details the Company's debt as at September 30, 2022 (in millions of NIS) in accordance with the linkage bases and the Company's exposure to the interest risks:
| Debt (including interest payable) |
|
|---|---|
| Shekel linked to the CPI | 1,445 |
| Shekel at prime interest | 789 |
| Shekel at fixed interest | 1,068 |
| Dollar at LIBOR interest | 318 |
| Total | 3,620 |
In the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized financing expenses in the area of activities in Israel, in the amounts of about NIS 43 million and about NIS 15 million, respectively, in light of the increase in the CPI.
62 It is clarified that that stated above with reference to the Company's estimates in connection with the impact of inflation and the increase in the interest rates on the Company's business constitutes "forward-looking" information as it is defined in the Securities Law, and is based on the information in the Company's possession and on the Company's estimates as at this date, and taking into account the scope of its activities and the mix of its investments as at the approval date of the report. The information and the estimates, as stated, might not be realized and/or might be realized in a different manner, due to, among other things, factors that are not known to the Company as at this date or that are not under its control, including, realization of the risk factors that characterize the Company's activities, as stated, and the manner of their realization.

The Company has a policy for making contributions that places emphasis on activities in the periphery and non-profit organizations that operate in the field of education.

We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of OPC Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – the "Company") and its subsidiaries, including the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as at September 30, 2022, and the condensed consolidated interim statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month and threemonth period then ended. The Board of Directors and management are responsible for preparing and presenting financial information for these interim periods in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and are also responsible for preparing financial information for this interim period under Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion regarding the financial information for this interim period based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard (Israel) 2410 - "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. A review of financial information for interim periods consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially smaller in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might have been identifiable in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the aforementioned financial information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS 34).
In addition to that mentioned in the previous paragraph, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the aforementioned financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with the disclosure requirements of Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

OPC Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – "the Company") was incorporated in Israel on February 2, 2010. The Company's registered address is 121 Menachem Begin Road, Tel Aviv, Israel. The Company's controlling shareholder is Kenon Holdings Ltd. (hereinafter - the "Parent Company"), a company incorporated in Singapore, the shares of which are dual-listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. (hereinafter - the "TASE").
The Company is a publicly-traded company whose securities are traded on the TASE.
As at the date of the report, the Company and its investees (hereinafter - the "Group") are engaged in two reportable segments:
(1) Electricity and energy generation and supply in Israel (mostly through a wholly-owned subsidiary - OPC Power Plants Ltd.) - under this operating segment, the Group is engaged in the generation and supply of energy (as at the reporting date, electricity, steam and charging services for electric vehicles), mainly to private customers, and to Noga - Israel Independent System Operator Ltd. (hereinafter - the "System Operator") and to the System Operator, and in the development, construction and operation in Israel of power plants and energy generation facilities powered using natural gas and renewable energy;
(2) Generation and supply of electricity and Energy Generation and Supply in the US (through the CPV Group)1 - In this operating segment, the Group is engaged in the development, construction and management of renewable energy and conventional (natural gas-powered) power plants in the United States and in the holding of rights in operational and underconstruction renewable energy and conventional power plants. Furthermore, the Group engages in providing asset and energy management services for power plants in the US that are owned by the Group and by third parties.
For further details, see Note 25D1 to the Financial Statements as at December 31, 2021 (hereinafter – the "Annual Financial Statements").
The Group's activity is subject to seasonal effects as a result of changes in the energy demand management rate (hereinafter – the "TAOZ"), which is regulated and published by the Israeli Electricity Authority. As at the date of the report, the year is broken down into three seasons, as follows: summer (July and August), winter (December, January and February) and "transitional" (March through June and September through November), with a different tariff set for each season. The Company's results are based on the generation component, which is part of the TAOZ, resulting in a seasonal effect. It should be noted that as from the revision of the TAOZ for 2023, revisions are expected, including an increase in the number of months during which peak time (which may change) applies in the summer to 4 months instead of two months and change in hour clusters each day.
The revenues of the CPV Group from electricity generation are seasonal and impacted by variable demand, gas prices and electricity prices, as well as the weather. In general, with respect to gas-fired power plants, there is higher profitability in seasons where temperatures are at their highest or lowest - usually during summer and winter. Similarly, the profitability of renewable energy production is subject to production volume, which varies based on wind and solar constructions, as well as its electricity price, which tends to be higher in winter, unless there is a fixed contractual price for the project.
Further to what is stated in Note 1B to the Annual Financial Statements regarding global effects and the impact of the spread of the Covid-19 virus, during the Reporting Period, there were no material changes in the effect of the pandemic on the Group's results.
During the Reporting Period, macroeconomic trends, both globally and in Israel, led to a sharp increase in prices, due to, among other things, geopolitical events, specifically the war in Ukraine, the global energy crisis, which triggered a sharp increase in energy and electricity prices, continued disruption to the supply chain and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Among other things, these events led to a significant increase in inflation rates in the USA and Israel, and to a corresponding increase in interest rates.
1 CPV Group LP and the entities held by it. The CPV Group is indirectly held by the Company, at 70%.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (hereinafter – "IAS 34") - "Interim Financial Reporting" and do not include all of the information required in complete Annual Financial Statements.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved for publication by the Company's Board of Directors on November 23, 2022.
The New Israeli Shekel (NIS) is the currency that represents the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. Accordingly, the NIS is the Company's functional currency. The NIS also serves as the presentation currency in these financial statements. Currencies other than the NIS constitute foreign currency.
In preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the IFRS, the Company's management is required to use judgment when making estimates, assessments and assumptions that affect implementation of the policies and the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. It is clarified that the actual results may differ from these estimates.

Excluding as detailed below, the Group's accounting policies in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as the policies applied to the 2021 Annual Financial Statements. Following is a description of the main change in the accounting policies in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements and its effect.
The amendment, which came into effect on January 1 2022, revoked the requirement whereby in calculating costs that are directly attributable to property, plant and equipment, the net proceeds from the sale of any items produced in the process (such as samples produced at the time of testing the equipment) should be deducted from the costs of testing the proper functioning of the asset. Instead, such proceeds will be recognized in profit and loss according to the measurement requirements of IAS 2, Inventories.
The Company applied the amendment retrospectively, including revision of the comparative amounts, but only for items of property, plant and equipment that were brought to the location and status required for them to be able to function in the manner contemplated by management after the earliest reporting period presented on first-time application of the amendment, i.e., as from January 1 2020. For information about the effect of first-time application see Note 2D.

As at the report date, there was no change in the Group's operating segments and the manner in which the segments' performance is measured relative to Note 27 to the Annual Financial Statements.
It should be clarified that data of associates and joint ventures in this note are included by way of proportionate consolidation according to the CPV Group's holding rate.

In November 2019, commercial operation of the Gat Power Plant started, upon the award of generation and supply licenses to the Gat Power Plant by the Israeli Electricity Authority.
Under the conditions of the Acquisition Agreement, the Buyer will purchase the sold rights in consideration for NIS 535 million (hereinafter - the "Consideration") - which is subject to adjustments - in accordance with the provisions of the Acquisition Agreement, to the cash balances and working capital. Furthermore, in connection with the senior debt extended to the Gat Power Plant (hereinafter - the "Senior Debt to the Gat Power Plant"), the said Consideration shall be adjusted as follows: (a) the total Consideration will increase in the event of early repayment of the Senior Debt to the Gat Power Plant provided prior to the Transaction's completion date, by an amount based on the outstanding debt amount and additional adjustments in respect of the early repayment, or (b) if the Senior Debt to the Gat Power Plant is not repaid, prior to the Transaction's completion date, the said Consideration may decrease by an amount agreed upon by the parties in connection with the conversion date under the senior debt agreement to the Gat Power Plant.

As of the approval date of the financial statements, all the conditions precedent have yet to be met.
In September 2022, the Company - through OPC Natural Gas LP - entered into agreements to sell natural gas to a corporation from the Dor Alon Group, including a binding agreement for the sale of natural gas, in the quantities of up to 0.1 BCM per year, and under the terms and conditions agreed upon (which include, inter alia, a TOP mechanism), for a period of five years from the commercial operation date of the Karish Reservoir. The agreement may be terminated or terminated early under certain specified circumstances between the parties.
Further to what is stated in Note 28G to the annual financial statements, Rotem and Hadera have natural gas purchase agreements with the Tamar Group (hereinafter - the "Tamar Agreements"). In accordance with the Tamar Agreements, Rotem and Hadera may give the Tamar Group notice by December 31 2022 regarding the reduction of part of the contractual minimum quantity of gas to be purchased, in accordance with the formulae set in the Tamar Agreements (hereinafter - the "Reduction Notice"); such reduction will come into force at the end of the period set in Rotem and Hadera's agreements with Tamar Group (12 and 8 months, respectively) (hereinafter - the "Actual Reduction Date"). In accordance with the Energean Agreements, Rotem and Hadera shall issue the Reduction Notice by the date on which piping of gas from the Karish Reservoir will commence after the end of the running in period (hereinafter - the "Commercial Operation Date"). As part of the amendment, it was decided that Rotem and Hadera will issue their respective Reduction Notices under the Tamar Agreements within 30 days from the amendment date. It was further determined in the amendment that as from the Commercial Operation Date and through the Actual Reduction Date, Rotem and Hadera will have a Take or Pay undertaking regarding a certain quantity of natural gas, and at the same time account settling arrangements were put in place in connection with the bringing forward of the Reduction Notice, and in connection with Rotem and Hadera's purchase of gas from alternative sources if the Commercial Operation Date does not take place by the Actual Reduction Date. In addition, the amendment includes an option that may be exercised until the end of 2022 to purchase further immaterial quantities of natural gas from Energean under the terms of the agreement between Energean and Rotem. The amendment sets up further provisions, including, among other things, regarding waiver of assertions and claims in relation to the period prior to the amendment; the amendment also revises the circumstances and defers the dates on which the parties may terminate the Energean Agreements early due to a deferral of the Commercial Operation Date.
In May and June 2022, Rotem and Hadera delivered their Reduction Notices, respectively. As of the approval date of the financial statements, the final scope of reduction by Hadera has not yet been determined and is being discussed with the Tamar Group.
Further to filing the reduction notices, in August 2022, Rotem and Hadera informed Energean regarding the increase of the contractual gas quantity under the original terms and conditions of the Energean agreements (the increase does not constitute exercise of the above option, which is exercisable by the end of 2022). It is clarified that increasing the contractual amount increases the Take or Pay commitment under the agreements.
In October 2022, Energean announced that the piping of first gas from the Karish Reservoir has started, and that the commercial activation of the Karish Reservoir is expected to take place during a 6-month period from the reporting date. Furthermore, Energean has informed the Company that the running in period of the reservoir has started; during that period, the Company acquires immaterial quantities of gas from Energean. In November 2022, Rotem and Hadera served Energean with a notice of the exercise of the option to acquire an additional immaterial quantity, as set out in the amendment to the Energean agreement.
In addition, as stated in Note 28G to the Annual Financial Statements regarding Hadera's additional gas supply agreement with the Tamar Group on an interruptible basis for a period of 15 years starting in January 2019, or until the end of the consumption of the contractual quantity, the earlier of the two (hereinafter - the "Tamar B Agreement"), Hadera has a right to exercise early termination of the Tamar B Agreement, under the circumstances set out in the agreement. Accordingly, in June 2022, Hadera informed Tamar Group of such early termination, which will come into force after 12 months.
