Entry into a Power Purchase Agreement
Enlight Renewable Energy Ltd. (“Enlight” or the “Company”),
through an indirect subsidiary of Clenera Holdings LLC (“Clenera”), has entered into a Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) with Arizona Public Service (“APS”), dated November 5, 2024, for the sale of solar power and energy storage availability from the Snowflake A project (the “Project”).
The Project, located in Holbrook, Arizona, U.S.A., is a solar and energy storage project, which is expected to have approximately 600 MWdc
(475MWac) of solar generation capacity and 1,900 MWh of energy storage capacity. The Project is in the final stages of pre-construction permitting. Assuming all necessary permits are obtained, it is expected to reach ready to build (RTB) status
during the 3rd quarter of 2025 and commence commercial operations (COD) during mid 2027.
The PPA is a twenty year busbar fixed price agreement for the entire solar and storage capacity of the Project. The PPA provides that if a
certain required permit is not obtained by March 1, 2025, Clenera is entitled to terminate the PPA without any material termination costs.
There can be no assurances that Clenera will be able to obtain all the necessary permits and approvals and on what terms. There can also be
no assurances that the construction of the Project will commence or be completed, or that construction delays will not occur.
Incorporation by Reference
Other than as indicated below, the information in this Form 6-K (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act. This Form 6-K (including Exhibit 99.1) is hereby incorporated by reference into the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-271297).
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This Form 6-K presents EBITDA, a financial metric, which is not calculated in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). Enlight is unable to provide a reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because items that impact this
non-IFRS financial measure are not within the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. These items may include, but are not limited to, forward-looking depreciation and amortization, finance income, finance expenses, share of losses
of equity accounted investees and taxes on income. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on Enlight’s future financial results. Non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not
be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented under IFRS. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-IFRS financial measures versus comparable financial measures determined under IFRS. These
limitations could reduce the usefulness of our non-IFRS financial measures as analytical tools.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report on Form 6-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We intend such
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements as contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All

required for the construction of our projects, as well as cost overruns and delays related to disputes with contractors; disruptions in trade caused by political, social or economic instability in regions where our components and materials are
made; our suppliers’ ability and willingness to perform both existing and future obligations; competition from traditional and renewable energy companies in developing renewable energy projects; potential slowed demand for renewable energy projects
and our ability to enter into new offtake contracts on acceptable terms and prices as current offtake contracts expire; offtakers’ ability to terminate contracts or seek other remedies resulting from failure of our projects to meet development,
operational or performance benchmarks; exposure to market prices in some of our offtake contracts; various technical and operational challenges leading to unplanned outages, reduced output, interconnection or termination issues; the dependence of
our production and revenue on suitable meteorological and environmental conditions, and our ability to accurately predict such conditions; our ability to enforce warranties provided by our counterparties in the event that our projects do not
perform as expected; government curtailment, energy price caps and other government actions that restrict or reduce the profitability of renewable energy production; electricity price volatility, unusual weather conditions (including the effects of
climate change, could adversely affect wind and solar conditions), catastrophic weather-related or other damage to facilities, unscheduled generation outages, maintenance or repairs, unanticipated changes to availability due to higher demand,
shortages, transportation problems or other developments, environmental incidents, or electric transmission system constraints and the possibility that we may not have adequate insurance to cover losses as a result of such hazards; our dependence
on certain operational projects for a substantial portion of our cash flows; our ability to continue to grow our portfolio of projects through successful acquisitions; changes and advances in technology that impair or eliminate the competitive
advantage of our projects or upsets the expectations underlying investments in our technologies; our ability to effectively anticipate and manage cost inflation, interest rate risk, currency exchange fluctuations and other macroeconomic conditions
that impact our business; our ability to retain and attract key personnel; our ability to manage legal and regulatory compliance and litigation risk across our global corporate structure; our ability to protect our business from, and manage the
impact of, cyber-attacks, disruptions and security incidents, as well as acts of terrorism or war; changes to existing renewable energy industry policies and regulations that present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to renewable energy
projects; the reduction, elimination or expiration of government incentives for, or regulations mandating the use of, renewable energy; our ability to effectively manage the global expansion of the scale of our business operations; our ability to
perform to expectations in our new line of business involving the construction of PV systems for municipalities in Israel; our ability to effectively manage our supply chain and comply with applicable regulations with respect to international trade
relations, tariffs, sanctions, export controls and anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws; our ability to effectively comply with Environmental Health and Safety and other laws and regulations and receive and maintain all necessary licenses, permits
and authorizations; our performance of various obligations under the terms of our indebtedness (and the indebtedness of our subsidiaries that we guarantee) and our ability to continue to secure project financing on attractive terms for our
projects; limitations on our management rights and operational flexibility due to our use of tax equity arrangements; potential claims and disagreements with partners, investors and other counterparties that could reduce our right to cash flows
generated by our projects; our ability to comply with increasingly complex tax laws of various jurisdictions in which we currently operate as well as the tax laws in jurisdictions in which we intend to operate in the future; the unknown effect of
the dual listing of our ordinary shares on the price of our ordinary shares; various risks related to our incorporation and location in Israel, including the ongoing war in Israel, where our headquarters and some of our wind energy and solar energy
projects are located; the costs and requirements of being a public company, including the diversion of management’s attention with respect to such requirements; certain provisions in our Articles of Association and certain applicable regulations
that may delay or prevent a change of control; and other risk factors set forth in the section titled “Risk factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”), as may be updated in our other documents filed with or furnished to the SEC.
