Enlight Announces the Achievement of Development Milestones at the CO Bar Complex

Enlight Renewable Energy Ltd. (“Enlight” or the “Company”), announces the achievement of development milestones at the CO Bar complex (the “Complex”), including entry into a 1GW AC Large Generator Interconnection Agreement (“LGIA”) for the entire Complex, the full mobilization of CO Bar 1 and 2, and the signature of 20-year busbar Energy Storage Agreements (“ESA”)1 with Salt River Project (“SRP”), dated December 30, 2025, for CO Bar 4 and 5.
 
The achievement of the milestones follows the prior completion of other development milestones for the CO Bar Complex, including securing of site control and permitting, signing a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and ESA for CO Bar 1-3. All major agreements required for the Complex have now been obtained.
 
The Complex, located in Arizona, U.S.A., is composed of 5 solar power and energy storage projects totaling approximately 1.2 GW of solar power generation capacity and 4.0 GWh of energy storage capacity. The total Complex investment is expected to range between $2,860 and $3,010 million, the net Complex investment2 is expected to range between $1,550 and $1,630 million, and the Complex is expected to generate revenue of $264-$278 million from the sale of electricity in its first full year of operation3.

All 5 projects were safe harbored in 2025. The construction of CO Bar 1 and 2 has mobilized to the next phase and CO Bar 3-5 are expected to fully mobilize additional construction in the next 12 months. CODs for the projects within the Complex are expected to occur in the second half of 2027 and the first half of 2028.
