Together, these geothermal leases secured 1,270 acres at the heart
of the KGRA. In addition, Ormat has opened discussions with other
land owners and plans to secure additional leases in the North
Brawley KGRA. Ormat expects to begin drilling activity to explore
the resource upon receipt of the necessary drilling permits, which
the Company expects will be granted in the first half of 2007.
Commenting on the Company's recent news, Dita Bronicki, President
and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "As discussed on our recent
quarterly results conference call, we expect to continue greenfield
development of geothermal projects which, when combined with our
other construction programs, will add during the three years
2006-2008 approximately 250 megawatts that we expect to complete by
the end of 2008." Mrs. Bronicki concluded, "Development of the
North Brawley geothermal project is expected to be completed in
50-MW clusters over a three to five years period, with the first 50
MW coming online by the end of 2008 at the earliest. We intend to
sell the project's entire output to one or more of the offtakers
that have already published requests for proposals for renewable
energy, and to which Ormat is currently short-listed." About Ormat
