OPC announces Electricity Authority's decision to grant a generation license and a supply license to OPC-Hadera

Singapore, July 1, 2020. Kenon Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:KEN, TASE:KEN) ("Kenon") is announcing that its subsidiary OPC Energy Ltd. ("OPC") announced that the Electricity Authority published a resolution to grant OPC-Hadera Ltd. ("OPC-Hadera"), a wholly owned subsidiary of OPC, a generation license and a supply license to the Hadera power plant with a capacity of 144MW. The licenses will become valid after the approval of the Minister of Energy (which has yet to be provided) and deposit of relevant guarantees, and will expire after 20 years. Following the grant of the licenses, OPC-Hadera will commence commercial operations.

During the upcoming year, the Hadera power plant's EPC contractor is expected to replace or refurbish certain components of the Hadera power plant's gas turbines, over a cumulative period of approximately one month. During this period, the power plant is expected to operate on a partial basis.
