On May 18, 2023, the company's BOD decided to continue the conversion project of units 1-2 in Rotenberg
site only, and to suspend the conversion of units 5-6 in Orot Rabin site.
On June 2023, the company's BOD decided to continue the procurement process for converting units 3-4 in
Rotenberg site.
On August 9, 2023, a gas fire was ignited in Unit 1 in Rotenberg site as part of the system operation tests,
prior to the completion of the conversion process.
The Company is in ongoing discussions with the Ministry of Energy and the Electricity Authority to fully
complete the project.
The Company Management's estimate is that after exhausting the discussions with all the authorized State
Authorities, the chances of executing the conversion in full (i.e. to all the 6 coal-fired units in the project)
outweigh the chances that the conversion will not be executed in full, and the chances of recognizing the
full cost of the project outweigh the chances that these will not be recognized.
