Conflict Minerals Disclosure

This Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD (this "Form SD") of Ormat Technologies, Inc. ("Ormat", the "Company" or "we") for the reporting period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 ("Rule 13p-1") promulgated under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). In accordance with Rule 13p-1 and our Conflict Minerals Policy, published at: http://www.ormat.com/socialresponsibility-and-sustainability, we have concluded, in good faith, that during the 2019 calendar year, (i) we have manufactured and contracted to manufacture products (the "Covered Products") containing Conflict Minerals,and, for which (ii) the use of these minerals is necessary to the functionality or production of such products. Based on our good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry, the Company has reason to believe that Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of the Covered Products may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the "DRC") and certain adjoining countries (collectively with the DRC, the "Covered Countries") and that such Conflict Minerals may not be entirely from recycled or scrap sources. As defined by the Rule 13p-1, and for the purposes of this Conflict Minerals Report (the "Report"), the Conflict Minerals are cassiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan), gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (collectively, the "Conflict Minerals" or "3TG").

On the basis of these conclusions, the Company proceeded to exercise due diligence on its minerals supply chain in order to determine, with a reasonable degree of certainty given the information provided by our suppliers, the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals contained in its Covered Products that were manufactured or contracted to manufacture in 2019. Therefore, and in order to present our findings, the Company submits this Report as an exhibit to this Form SD for the reporting period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. The Report describes the Conflict Minerals due diligence that the Company has designed and performed, which was designed according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (2016) and related Supplements (the "OECD Due Diligence Guidance"). The Report has not been subject to an independent private sector audit.

Based on the information obtained by the Company during the due diligence process, the Company does not have sufficient information, with respect to the Covered Products, to determine the country of origin, or likely country of origin, for each of the Conflict Minerals in each of the Covered Products. However, based on the information that has been obtained during the due diligence process, to the extent reasonably determinable by the Company with respect to the smelters or refiners identified by the Company's suppliers, the likely countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals used in Covered Products in 2019 are listed in Annex 2 to the Company's Report, attached to this Form SD as Exhibit 1.01.

Conflict Minerals Report of Ormat Technologies, Inc. For the Year Ended December 31, 2019

Introduction:

We are a Delaware corporation, whose shares of common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

We are a leading vertically integrated company, that is primarily engaged in the geothermal and recovered energybased power businesses. We are also expanding into the solar Photovoltaic and energy storage and management services business, with the objective of becoming a leading global provider of renewable energy.

This is the Conflict Minerals Report (this "Report") of Ormat Technologies, Inc. ("Ormat", the "Company" or "we") for the reporting period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, which has been prepared in accordance with Rule13p-1 ("Rule 13p-1"), promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Rule 13p-1 requires every registrant that files reports with the SEC under Sections 13(a) or 15 (d) of the Exchange Act to disclose certain information when the registrant manufactures or contracts to manufacture products and when the minerals specified in Rule 13p-1 are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals are cassiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan), gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (collectively, the "Conflict Minerals" or "3TG"), that originate, or are likely originate, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the "DRC") and certain adjoining countries (collectively with the DRC, the "Covered Countries").

As part of Ormat's sustainability approach, our Code of Conduct outlines the Company's overall principles and commitments to legal compliance, ethical conduct, human rights, anti-corruption, labor rights and environmental protection. These high expectations extend to Ormat's partners, subcontractors and suppliers. We have adopted a policy (the "Conflict Minerals Policy") with respect to our sourcing of Conflict Minerals, which was developed in accordance with the OECD guidance, and we implement a comprehensive Conflict Minerals program aimed to ensure responsible sourcing. Our Conflict Minerals Policy is available at http://www.ormat.com/socialresponsibility-and-sustainability.

Unless otherwise defined herein, defined terms used in this Report have the meaning ascribed to such terms in Rule 13p-1 and Form SD.

Supply Chain

In accordance with applicable SEC rules, we conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals used in our Product Segment. We concluded that no such examination is necessary with respect to the Electricity Segment or the Energy Storage and Management Services Segment because neither of these segments involves the sale of products by the Company.

In connection with our manufacturing activities in the Product Segment, we identified certain Conflict Minerals that are used by us and that are necessary to the functionality and production of our products with regards to the following raw materials or components: steel (low and high grade), electronic cards and electronic cables (including tin plating). These materials are purchased from our network of suppliers. As a downstream company that does not work directly with the smelters or refiners of the necessary Conflict Minerals, we work with our large network of international suppliers to obtain information on the likely source and chain of custody of those necessary Conflict Minerals and often there are multiple tiers between the gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten ("3TG") mines and our direct suppliers. Therefore, we rely on our direct Tier 1 suppliers to cooperate with us and work with their own upstream suppliers or subcontractors to provide us with information on the origin of the 3TG in the components we purchase from them that are necessary to the functionality or production of our products. In order to overcome certain challenges in receiving accurate information from a complex supply chain, Ormat has communicated its Conflict Minerals Policy to our suppliers, and has adopted the Responsible Minerals Initiative's ("RMI") reporting template for surveying suppliers, i.e. the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template ("CMRT") of at least version 5.10 or above.

2. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI)

Ormat has conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry ("RCOI") in good faith to determine whether any of the necessary Conflict Minerals originated, or likely originated, in the DRC or Covered Countries or originated entirely from "recycled or scrap sources" (as such terms are defined in Rule 13p-1). In parallel, we conduct due diligence on our mineral supply chain in order to investigate, to a reasonable degree of accuracy, the likely source and chain of custody of the necessary Conflict Minerals used in our products or product components that is sourced from our global network of suppliers.

As part of our RCOI, we employed several methods to assess whether the necessary Conflict Minerals in our products originated, or likely originated, in the DRC or the Covered Countries, including the following:

  • Internal assessment and analysis of our products manufactured or contracted to manufacture in 2019 to determine which products contain or may contain Conflict Minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products.
  • Compiled a list of applicable suppliers based on relevant product categories that Ormat purchased from during the calendar year 2019, which list was issued using the Ormat Management System ("OMS") by information technology developers and according to the criteria defined by the OMS manager and the purchasing manager. The list includes a total of 1,412 suppliers. Each supplier has a "Purchase Types" field, which contains one of the following values: Services, BOM, Office supplier, Goods and Capital Expenditure. Only the suppliers with "BOM" values in the "Purchase Types" field were applicable for the RCOI under Rule 13p-1.
  • In order to identify and assess risks in the supply chain, we undertook a risk-based approach and engaged the suppliers representing approximately 90% of our 2019 expenditures on procurement for the Product Segment. On that basis, Ormat's final direct Tier 1 suppliers list ("relevant suppliers") includes a total of 122 suppliers, from which duplicate suppliers were removed to arrive at a total of 116 relevant suppliers for the RY2019 supply chain inquiry.
  • Contracted a third-party service provider to assist us with the survey of suppliers. Through this thirdparty service provider, we sent letters to our relevant suppliers to explain Rule 13p-1 and to refer the suppliers to online training materials and instructions.
  • We solicited information from our relevant suppliers of raw materials and components of products using the standard template of the independent third-party audit body, the Responsible Minerals Initiative ("RMI"), known as the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template ("CMRT"). We requested that our suppliers provide at least version 5.10 of the CMRT. The CMRT is designed to facilitate the transfer of information through the supply chain regarding each mineral's country of origin, or likely country of origin, and the relevant smelters or refiners. The CMRT requires suppliers to make representations regarding: (i) the country of origin, or likely country of origin, for the Conflict Minerals contained in the components or products it provides to the Company; (ii) all of the smelters or refiners in the supplier's supply chain for such Conflict Minerals; (iii) whether such smelters or refiners have been validated as being in compliance with the RMI's Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (the "RMAP"); (iv) whether the supplier has its own Conflict Minerals Policy that requires its own direct suppliers to be "DRC conflict-free"; and (v) whether the supplier collects Conflict Minerals information in a standardized format, such as the CMRT, from its own suppliers. Communications from the Company to its suppliers and responses received from the suppliers are stored electronically by the Company, together with copies of internal communications that relate to the Company's due diligence, for a period of up to five years, as recommended by the relevant OECD Guidance.
  • Reviewed the responses that we received and followed up on inconsistent, incomplete, and inaccurate responses. We sent reminders to suppliers who did not respond to our requests for information or to suppliers whose responses required further clarification, as per the expectations noted above. We compared information received from our direct suppliers on their relevant smelters or refiners against the list of facilities that have been validated by RMAP, receiving a "conformant" or "active" status, as well as the documented country of origin information as provided in the declarations from the suppliers. The complete list of smelters or refiners identified in the scope of our supply chain inquiry is included as Annex 1 hereto and the complete list of counties of origin, or likely countries of origin, to the best of our knowledge, is included in Annex 2 hereto.

Currently, we do not have sufficient information from our suppliers to determine the complete list of countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals used in our products or the facilities used to process those Conflict Minerals. Therefore, we cannot exclude the possibility that some of these Conflict Minerals may have originated in the DRC or Covered Countries or are not entirely from recycled or scrap sources.

Based on these results, Ormat conducted due diligence activities and described these activities in this Report.

3. Due Diligence Framework

We designed our due diligence measures to be in conformity, in all material respects, with the internationally recognized due diligence framework as set forth in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas and the related supplements for gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten.

4. Due Diligence Measures

Our due diligence efforts for the reporting period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 included the following steps:

4.1 Establish strong Company management systems for Conflict Minerals supply chain due diligence and reporting compliance

The Company implemented the following measures:

  • Established a cross-functional Conflict Minerals steering committee comprised of representatives from procurement, legal and finance departments to direct the overall efforts of the Conflict Minerals compliance program, with the Senior Vice President of Finance as the process owner.
  • Continued to implement our Conflict Minerals Policy with respect to sourcing of minerals from the DRC and the Covered Countries. Our Conflict Minerals Policy provides further clarification to the principles of the Code of Conduct and Ormat's Human Rights Approach, as outlined in our Human Rights & Labor Policy, regarding illegal trade of natural resources and promotes the procurement of minerals from credible and conflict-free sources. Pursuant to our Conflict Minerals Policy, we strive to ensure that purchased metals originate only from smelters or refiners that have been validated as being "conformant" or "active" by the RMI's RMAP; however the Company does not seek to eliminate sourcing from the DRC or Covered Countries. In addition, we expect our suppliers to comply with the terms of our Conflict Minerals Policy and encourage them to define, implement and communicate to their sub-suppliers their own policies outlining their commitment to responsible sourcing of these materials, legal compliance and measures for implementation. The Company's Conflict Minerals Policy is available at: http://www.ormat.com/social-responsibility-and-sustainability.
  • Maintain a grievance mechanism through which concerns and violations of the Conflict Minerals Policy can be reported to Ormat:
    • online via our website www.ormat.com; or
    • by electronic mail to the following address: [email protected].
  • Strengthened its engagement with suppliers by referring suppliers to training materials that included an overview of the applicable SEC rules and instructions on how to respond to the survey.
  • Required our suppliers to provide us the information required to perform our analysis of Conflict Minerals.
  • Implemented a requirement to maintain records relating to Conflict Minerals due diligence and responsible mineral sourcing for a minimum of five years.

4.2 Identify and assess risks in the supply chain

To identify risks in our supply chain, we undertook the following measures:

  • We identified two risks in the supply chain: (i) the risk of not receiving timely and accurate information from the supplier; and (ii) the risk of not being able to replace a supplier, when aiming to move towards the goal of responsible sourcing of Conflict Minerals to ensure that the purchase and sourcing of such minerals does not benefit or fund the armed conflict and human rights abuses on-going in the DRC or Covered Countries, or in other conflict-affected areas. We have segmented our suppliers into three risk levels (high, medium and low) by referring to Conflict Minerals-related risks based on suppliers' characteristics, including the extent to which the Company is dependent upon any particular supplier or, conversely, the availability of alternative suppliers. This segmentation allowed us to focus our risk mitigation efforts according to the supplier level of risk.
  • As part of the risk assessment phase, Ormat decided to focus on the top approximately 90% of the purchasing spend in 2019. We have identified that, out of the responses received, 31% of Ormat's relevant suppliers have a policy in place that addresses the sourcing of Conflict Minerals.
  • Responses received were subject to a "red flag" review. Responses that we identified as incomplete or inconsistent based on the red flag review process were marked for follow up. We identified the smelters or refiners that are likely a part of our mineral supply chain by conducting a supply chain survey using the CMRT (at least version 5.10 or higher), requesting suppliers to identify relevant smelters or refiners and country of origin, or likely country of origin, of the Conflict Minerals in products supplied to Ormat in 2019. In addition, we compared smelters and refiners identified by the supply chain survey against the list of facilities that received RMAP's "conformant" and "active" designations. The RMAP is a program in which the RMI works with independent third-party auditors or cross-certification programs to audit the source, including mines of origin and chains of custody, of the Conflict Minerals processed by smelters and refiners that agree to undergo an audit or to take part in a cross-certification program.
    • A smelter or refiner receives an RMAP "conformant" designation from the RMI if the smelter or refiner (i) completes an independent third-party audit, (ii) adheres to the RMAP's assessment protocols by disclosing to auditors the identities and locations of the mines from which it sources Conflict Minerals, (iii) has been found by its independent third-party auditor to possess the systems and processes to support responsible sourcing of Conflict Minerals and can provide evidence to support its sourcing activities and (iv) maintains good standing in the program, through a continual validation process. The RMI's RMAP "conformant" list provides the names, locations and links to Conflict Minerals policies of all smelters and refiners deemed compliant with the RMAP's assessment protocols. Smelters and refiners with a "re-audit in progress" are still considered to be RMAP "conformant."
  • Smelters and refiners labeled as RMAP "active" by the RMI have committed to undergo an audit, which may be in progress, or are participating in one of the cross-recognized certification programs, namely, the London Bullion Market Association Responsible Gold Certification or Responsible Jewelry Program Chain-of-Custody Certification. "Active" smelters and refiners may be at various stages of the audit cycle, anywhere from completion of the necessary documents to scheduling the audit date to enacting corrective actions in the post-audit phase. They may not retain their "active" status if, among other things, they are unresponsive to requests for re-audit or corrective action past a certain time.
  • Companies that have been determined to be downstream of smelters or refiners may not take part in the RMAP. However, they may participate in the RMI's Downstream Audit Program, an independent validation of companies' sourcing practices outside of the RMAP audit process.

4.3 Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

To address the risks in our supply chain, Ormat maintains a risk mitigation plan, which includes the following:

  • Ormat expects its suppliers to define, implement and communicate to sub-suppliers their own policy, outlining their commitment to responsible sourcing of these materials, and legal compliance and measures for implementation. We also ask suppliers to work with sub-tier suppliers to ensure traceability of these materials at least to the smelter or refiner level, e.g., by using a recent version of the CMRT.
  • Ormat's senior management, including the CEO, CFO, EVP Electricity, EVP Products and Operations, EVP Business Development and Marketing, and the Legal Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer, was updated with the risk analysis and risk management actions and outcomes.
  • Suppliers who provided incomplete or inconsistent responses were sent a corrective action letter for follow up, requesting clarification.
  • Suppliers that did not respond to our initial survey request were sent follow-up letters requesting that they provide the necessary information.

Supply chain due diligence is a dynamic process that requires on-going risk monitoring. In order to ensure effective management of risks, we review the risk identification process and update the risk mitigation strategy accordingly.

4.4 Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner's due diligence practices

We do not typically have direct relationships with 3TG smelters or refiners of Conflict Minerals and therefore do not perform direct audits of these entities. As a result, our due diligence efforts relied on independent third-party audit body and cross- industry initiatives, such as those led by the RMI, to conduct smelter or refiner due diligence.

4.5 Report on supply chain due diligence

Our Conflict Minerals Policy was adopted with a view to assuring compliance with Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank Act, which requires the filing of a Form SD and this Report with the SEC and disclosure of them on its publicly available Internet website. The Company's Conflict Minerals Reports can be viewed at: http://www.ormat.com/social-responsibility-and-sustainability.

5 The Company's Due Diligence Findings and Conclusions

We conducted a supply-chain survey of the 116 relevant suppliers that we identified as potentially contributing the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in our products in 2019. The overall response rate to this survey was approximately 50%. The responses included the names and locations of smelters or refiners (see Annex 1) and possible countries of origin, according to the information provided in our suppliers' declarations (see Annex 2).

Our supply chain is complex and there are multiple tiers between the Company and the mines or facilities that process the necessary Conflict Minerals. Accordingly, we rely on our suppliers to provide information on the origin of the 3TG contained in components that are supplied to us to be included in our products.

Despite receiving responses from suppliers listing smelter or refiner names in their supply chain, the suppliers were largely unable to accurately report which specific smelters or refiners were part of the supply chain of the components that were sold to Ormat in 2019.

In light of inconclusive information, we are unable to determine and to describe the full list of facilities used to process 3TG or their countries of origin. In addition, the information gathered from our suppliers is not gathered on a continuous real-time basis.

Smelters or refiners verified as RMAP Conformant or Active:

Tantalum 43 of 51 (84.3%)
Tin 70 of 109 (64.2%)
Tungsten 40 of 58 (68.9%)
Gold 108 of 166 (65.1%)
Total 261 of 384 (67.9%)
2019
"RMAP Conformant"1 252
"RMAP Active"2 9
"Not RMAP 123
Conformant or Active"3
Total 384

Status of identified smelters or refiners:

6. Steps to be taken to mitigate risk

The Company has taken, and intends to continue to take, steps to improve its due diligence processes. Due diligence is an ongoing, proactive and reactive process, and the Company is continually working to improve its methods and processes for identifying the source or likely source of the Conflict Minerals contained in its Covered Products. The Company plans to continue to inform suppliers of their role in the Company's Conflict Minerals compliance program and to engage its suppliers to obtain current, accurate and complete information regarding their mineral supply chains. The Company intends to monitor the performance and efficiency of its due diligence efforts to ensure responsible sourcing in compliance with its Conflict Minerals Policy and increase transparency in its supply chain.

Specific steps the Company has taken and continues to take to manage risks include:

  • Continue working with our global supply chain to obtain current, accurate and complete information about the supply chain, ensure responsible sourcing, while also assuring compliance with certain international regulations.
  • Continue to strengthen communications with suppliers in order to improve the number of suppliers that respond to the company's supply chain surveys and requests for information.
  • Continue to improve due diligence efforts to ensure responsible sourcing in compliance with the Conflict Minerals Policy.

* As some SORs did not provide complete information on the Location of Mine in their CMRTs, and the Company was not able to establish with complete certainty, based on the suppliers' 3TG sourcing information, the exact location for the processing of the minerals. Therefore, we have listed in the COO the closest indication provided as to the source of Conflict Minerals, i.e. the Smelter Country as reported in our relevant suppliers' CMRT declarations, if provided.
