Ormat Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:ORA), a leading renewable energy company, announces Hawai'i Public Utilities Commission's (HPUC) approval of two final amendments to the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) between its subsidiary, Puna Geothermal Venture (PGV), and Hawaiian Electric. This landmark decision enables PGV to contribute up to an additional 8 megawatts (MW) of clean, dispatchable renewable power to Hawai'i Island, elevating the contract maximum capacity to 46 MW, with a minimum contracted capacity set at 30 MW. The approval follows PGV's completion and submission of its final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for operations in Puna, Hawai'i. The EIS was a condition set by the HPUC for approval of an amended and restated PPA that was submitted to the HPUC in December 2019.
