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, 2018 to December 31, 2018 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 2018 calendar year, (i) we have manufactured and contracted to manufacture products (the "Covered Products") containing conflict minerals and that (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").

On the basis of these conclusions, the Company proceeded to exercise due diligence with respect to the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals contained in its Covered Products and has submitted its Report as an exhibit to this Form SD for the reporting period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018. The Report describes the conflict minerals due diligence that the Company has designed and performed. 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 of all of the Conflict Minerals in all of the Covered Products. However, based on the information that has been obtained, to the extent reasonably determinable by the Company, with respect to the smelters and refiners identified by the Company, the possible countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals used in Covered Products are listed in Annex 2 to the Company's Report, attached to this Form SD as Exhibit 1.01.

Copies of this Form SD and the Report are also published on a publicly available Internet site at http://www.ormat.com/social-responsibility-and-sustainability.

EX-1.01 (Exhibit 1.01)

Conflict Minerals Report of Ormat Technologies, Inc. For the Year Ended December 31, 2018

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, currently engaged primarily in the geothermal and recovered energy power 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, 2018 to December 31, 2018, 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 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"), that originated 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 commitment towards legal compliance, ethical conduct, human rights, anti-corruption work 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.

1. Overview

Company Overview

Ormat and its subsidiaries currently conduct business activities in the following three business segments:

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 Other Segment because neither of these segments involves the sale of products by the Company.

In connection to our manufacturing activities in the Product Segment, we identified certain Conflict Minerals that are used by us and 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). All such raw materials are purchased from various suppliers. We work with a large number of international suppliers and often there are multiple tiers between the gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten ("3TG") mines and our direct suppliers. Therefore, we rely on our Tier 1 suppliers to cooperate with us and work with their own upstream suppliers or subcontractors to provide us with accurate information on the origin of the 3TG in the components we purchase from them that are included in our products. In order to overcome the difficulties of receiving accurate information from a complex supply chain, Ormat has communicated its Conflict Minerals Policy and activities to its 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 5.01 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 Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries or are from "recycled or scrap sources" (as such terms are defined in Rule 13p-1). In parallel, we conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of those Conflict Minerals with a large number of suppliers we identified as those from whom we source materials or components that may contain 3TG.

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

  • Internal assessment and analysis of our products to determine which products contain or may contain Conflict Minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of such products.
  • Compiled a list of suppliers based on the applicable suppliers list that Ormat purchased from during the calendar year 2018, which 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 1,489 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 2018 expenditures on procurement for the Product Segment. On that basis, Ormat's final Tier 1 suppliers list ("relevant suppliers") includes a total of 127 suppliers.
  • Contracted a third party service provider to assist us with the survey of suppliers. Through this third party 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 Responsible Business Alliance (formerly, the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition) (the "RBA") known as the CMRT. The RBA oversees the RMI. The CMRT is designed to facilitate the transfer of information through the supply chain regarding each mineral's country of origin and the smelters and refiners being utilized for the mineral. The CMRT requires suppliers to make representations regarding: (i) the country of origin for the Conflict Minerals contained in the components or products it provides to the Company; (ii) all of the smelters in the supplier's supply chain for such Conflict Minerals; (iii) whether such smelters 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 uses CMRT with its own suppliers to gather similar information. 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.
  • Reviewed the responses that we received and followed up on inconsistent, incomplete, and inaccurate responses, and sent reminders to suppliers who did not respond to our requests for information or whose responses required further clarification. Compared smelters or refiners that were identified by our suppliers against the list of facilities that have been validated by RMAP, receiving a "conformant" or "active" status, as well as documented country of origin information as provided in the declarations from the suppliers. The complete list of identified suppliers is included as Annex 1 hereto and the complete list of counties 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 Covered Countries and 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, 2018 to December 31, 2018 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 VP finance and accounting as the process owner.

  • Continued to implement our Conflict Minerals Policy with respect to sourcing of minerals from the DRC and its adjoining countries. Our Conflict Minerals Policy provides further clarification to the principles of the Code of Conduct and Ormat's Human Rights Approach 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 validated as being "conformant" or "active" by the RMI's RMAP; however the Company does not seek to eliminate sourcing from the 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 subsuppliers 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.
  • Incorporated a conflict minerals clause in our master purchasing agreements for all new contracts, requiring our suppliers to cooperate with us and 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, while trying to move towards the goal of being a conflict-free company. 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 2018. We have identified that out of the responses received, 38% of Ormat's relevant suppliers have a policy in place that addresses conflict minerals sourcing.
  • 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 and refiners in the supply chain by conducting a supply chain survey using the CMRT (at least version 5.01 or higher), requesting suppliers to identify smelters and refiners and country of origin of the Conflict Minerals in products supplied to Ormat. 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 level, e.g. by using 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 and refiners and therefore do not perform direct audits of these entities. As a result, our due diligence efforts relied on cross- industry initiatives, such as those led by the RMI, to conduct smelter and refiner due diligence.

4.5 Report on supply chain due diligence

Our Conflict Minerals Policy states that we will comply with Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank Act that includes filing a Form SD and this Report with the SEC and publishing it so that it may be publicly available on the Internet. The Company's Conflict Minerals Reports can also be viewed at: http://www.ormat.com/socialresponsibility-and-sustainability.

5 The Company's Due Diligence Findings and Conclusions

We conducted a supply-chain survey of the 127 relevant suppliers that we identified as potentially contributing necessary Conflict Minerals to our products. The overall response rate to this survey was approximately 43.31%. The responses included the names and locations of smelters and refiners (see Annex 1) and possible countries of origin, according to the information provided in our suppliers' declarations that process Conflict Minerals (see Annex 2).

Our supply chain is complex and there are multiple tiers between the Company and the mines 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 were part of the supply chain of the components that were sold to Ormat in 2018.

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.

Tantalum 40 of 42 (95.2%)
Tin 72 of 83 (86.7%)
Tungsten 40 of 46 (87.0%)
Gold 104 of 151 (68.9%)
Total 256 of 322 (79.5%)

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 the process to identify Conflict Minerals in its Covered Products. The Company plans to continue to inform suppliers about their role in the Company's conflict minerals compliance program and to engage with its suppliers to obtain current, accurate and complete information about the supply chain. 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 and ensure responsible sourcing and assure compliance with 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.
  • Continue to improve due diligence efforts to ensure responsible sourcing in compliance with the Conflict Minerals Policy.
