AGREEMENT NO. 2 ADDRESSING RENEWABLE ENERGY PRICING ISSUES BETWEEN ORMESA LLC QFID NO. 3010 AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY 1. PARTIES. The Parties to this Agreement No. 2 Addressing Renewable Energy Pricing Issues ("Agreement") are ORMESA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, ("SELLER"), and Southern California Edison Company ("EDISON"), a California corporation. EDISON and SELLER are hereinafter sometimes referred to individually as a "Party" and jointly as the "Parties." 2. RECITALS. This Agreement is entered into between the Parties with reference to the following facts: 2.1 On July 18, 1984, ORMESA LLC's predecessor and EDISON executed a power purchase agreement (the "Contract"), which establishes, among other things, the terms and conditions pursuant to which EDISON purchases electric power from SELLER and SELLER sells electric power to EDISON. The power purchase agreement, together with all amendments is collectively referred to as the "Contract." 2.2 THIS SECTION INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK. 2.3 Among other things, the Contract provides that EDISON will pay SELLER for energy delivered by SELLER to EDISON in accordance with the short run avoided cost ("SRAC") methodology established from time to time by the California Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") for energy payments by EDISON to qualifying facilities ("QFs"). 2.4 On June 19, 2001 ORMESA LLC's predecessor and EDISON entered into an Agreement Re Renewable Pricing and Payment Issues. On November 30, 2001, ORMESA LLC's predecessor and EDISON entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement Re Renewable Pricing and Payment Issues. The Agreement Re Renewable Pricing and Payment Issues and Amendment No. 1 to Agreement Re Renewable Pricing and Payment Issues are collectively referred to as the "Renewable Fixed Price Agreement." 2.5 The Renewable Fixed Price Agreement provides, among other things, that, notwithstanding anything in the Contract to the contrary, the SRAC for energy delivered to EDISON by SELLER for a period of five (5) years commencing May 1, 2002 (the "Initial Fixed Rate Period"), shall be a "fixed" price of 5.37 cents/kWh (the "Initial Fixed Rate") adjusted by Time-of-Delivery ("TOD") factors set forth in EDISON's Time-of-Use rate schedule "TOU-8," in lieu of payments based upon the Commission-approved SRAC methodology. 1 2.6 The Parties dispute the manner in which the Commission-approved SRAC methodology should be implemented and applied, and/or whether any new fixed energy rate should be approved, for energy deliveries under the Contract after the expiration of the Initial Fixed Rate Period. These issues are currently being litigated by EDISON at the Commission in Rulemaking ("R.") 04-04-003 and R.04-04-025. 2.7 The Parties have agreed, subject to Commission Approval (as defined herein), upon New Fixed Rates (as defined herein) to be paid to SELLER for energy deliveries under the Contract during the New Fixed Rate Period (as defined herein) and upon certain other terms and conditions related to their agreement upon the New Fixed Rates and/or to be applicable during the New Fixed Rate Period. 3. AGREEMENT. In consideration of the promises, mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Parties hereby agree to the following: 3.1 EFFECTIVE DATE. Except for the provisions the effectiveness of which is expressly conditioned upon Commission Approval (as defined below), this Agreement shall become effective on the date that it has been executed by duly authorized representatives of each of the Parties. 3.2 ENERGY PRICING DURING NEW FIXED RATE PERIOD. 3.2.1 NEW FIXED RATES. Subject to Commission Approval (as defined below), notwithstanding any provision of the Contract to the contrary, commencing on May 1, 2007, and for a five (5) year period thereafter ("New Fixed Rate Period"), SELLER hereby elects, and EDISON agrees, that the price for energy delivered to EDISON by SELLER during the New Fixed Rate Period, shall be the prices ("New Fixed Rates") set forth in the table below, in lieu of the prices resulting from application of the Commission-approved SRAC methodology; provided, however, that if the Contract terminates in accordance with its own terms, or for any other lawful reason, prior to the end of the New Fixed Rate Period, then the New Fixed Rate Period shall likewise terminate; and provided further, however, that to the extent SELLER's solar thermal facility augments its energy input with natural gas or other clean burning alternative fuel, and with respect only to the deliveries from such facility that would, in the absence of this Agreement, be paid pursuant to the Commission-approved SRAC methodology, 75% of the energy price shall be set during the New Fixed Rate Period at the applicable New Fixed Rate and 25% of the energy price shall be calculated according to the Commission-approved SRAC methodology applicable at the time (the "Blended Solar Rates"). During the New Fixed Rate Period, the New Fixed Rates, or, in the case of solar thermal projects as provided above, the Blended Solar Rates, shall be adjusted by Time-of-Delivery ("TOD") factors set forth in EDISON's Time-of-Use rate schedule "TOU-8." The New Fixed Rates payable during the New Fixed Rate Period are as follows: 2 NEW FIXED RATE (CENTS/KWH) PAYABLE FOR ENERGY DELIVERIES DURING APPLICABLE ENERGY DELIVERY PERIOD ENERGY DELIVERY PERIOD ---------------------------- ---------------------------- May 1, 2007 - April 30, 2008 6.1500 May 1, 2008 - April 30, 2009 6.2115 May 1, 2009 - April 30, 2010 6.2736 May 1, 2010 - April 30, 2011 6.3364 May 1, 2011 - April 30, 2012 6.3997 Commencing on May 1, 2012, the SRAC price payable to SELLER shall, for any remaining term of the Contract, be established in accordance with the Commission-approved SRAC methodology, TOD factors and any energy loss adjustment factor then in effect. 3.2.2 ENERGY LOSS ADJUSTMENT FACTOR.

[ORMAT(R) LOGO] PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ormat Technologies Contact: Investor Relations Contact Dita Bronicki Jeff Corbin/Todd Fromer CEO and President KCSA Worldwide +1-775-356-9029 212-896-1214/212-896-1215 DBRONICKI@ORMAT.COM JCORBIN@KCSA.COM / TFROMER@KCSA.COM ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ANNOUNCES NEW FIVE-YEAR AGREEMENTS WITH SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON ADDRESS RENEWABLE ENERGY PRICING RELATING TO POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENTS RENO, NEVADA, MAY 11, 2006 -- ORMAT Technologies Inc., (NYSE: ORA) today announced that three of its indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries have entered into five-year Agreements Addressing Renewable Energy Pricing relating to Power Purchase Agreements with Southern California Edison (SCE). These agreements fix the energy rates payable by SCE for the five (5) year period beginning May 1, 2007 for Ormat's Ormesa, Heber 1, and Heber 2 geothermal projects located in Imperial County, California. Under the new Agreements, the geothermal energy produced by these projects will be sold at an average fixed energy rate of $62.74/MWh, starting with a rate of $61.50MWh for the first year, with an annual escalation of 1.0% thereafter. The new Agreements will come into effect when the current Renewable Energy Pricing Agreement terminates on April 30, 2007. The new average energy rate of $62.74/MWh will replace the existing rate of $53.70/MWh. As a result of these Agreements, Ormat's revenues from the Ormesa and Heber projects for the first year are expected to increase by approximately $7.9 million. The capacity payment and capacity bonus under the respective power purchase agreement for each of the projects remain unchanged. The Agreements also set the energy loss adjustment factor (ELAF) at 1.0, which benefits projects that are located remotely from load pockets, and assigns the environmental attributes associated with the energy to SCE. The Agreements are subject to approval by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Dita Bronicki, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company commented, "We are very pleased with the new Agreements which bring further stability and predictability to our operations in California. These Agreements eliminate the natural gas price volatility associated with SCE's SRAC which, under the current formula, is heavily dependant on the price of natural gas. Moreover, the Agreements also eliminate heat-rate calculations and any uncertainty associated with a possible change to the SRAC methodology currently under review by the CPUC in California."
