Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Enlight Renewable Energy received an A2.il issuer rating and an A2.il rating for its new debentures series 7, with the outlook raised from stable to positive. The series is expected to be issued in an amount of up to 550 million par value, mainly to refinance existing debt and fund ongoing operations.

The rating reflects growing, contract-backed cash flows from renewable projects across the US, Europe and Israel, supported by long-term PPAs and availability-based storage revenues. Adjusted EBITDA reached $284 million in 2025, up from $247 million, while Capex climbed to $1,821 million from $905 million as the company executes a large investment plan.

Leverage is high, with gross financial debt of $5,512 million and a gross debt-to-capital ratio of 68.6% as of March 31, 2026, and a debt to EBITDA ratio of 18.0 in 2025. However, Enlight held $979 million of cash and deposits at March 31, 2026 and benefits from non-recourse project financing and ample liquidity reserves. Midroog’s base case projects EBITDA of $400–450 million in 2026 and up to $750–800 million in 2028, with gradual improvement in leverage and interest coverage, while noting macro uncertainty from Operation Lion's Roar in Israel.

Positive

  • Rating outlook upgraded to positive: Midroog affirms Enlight at A2.il and shifts the outlook from stable to positive, reflecting stronger capital base, growing contracted cash flows and high liquidity reserves.
  • Strong growth in scale and EBITDA: Total assets reached $8,630M at year-end 2025 and adjusted EBITDA rose to $284M from $247M, with forecasts of $750–800M EBITDA by 2028 from new projects.

Negative

  • High leverage and weak debt metrics: Gross financial debt was $5,512M with gross debt/capital at 68.6% as of March 31, 2026 and debt/EBITDA of 18.0 in 2025, leaving limited headroom if project cash flows underperform.

Insights

Rating is solidly investment-grade locally, but leverage remains high.

Enlight Renewable Energy is rated A2.il with a positive outlook, and its new series 7 debentures share this rating. The positive outlook hinges on contracted renewable assets, growing installed capacity, and diversified cash flows across the US, Europe and Israel.

Financially, the company is in an intensive investment phase. Capex reached $1,821M in 2025 versus $905M in 2024, lifting adjusted EBITDA to $284M. This is funded largely with debt: gross financial debt was $5,512M and debt/EBITDA 18.0, placing leverage in Midroog’s Ba.il range despite the overall A2.il rating.

Liquidity is a key mitigant, with cash, equivalents and deposits of $979M as of March 31, 2026, plus undrawn facilities and mostly fixed-rate or hedged debt (about 88% not exposed to interest fluctuations). Midroog’s base case foresees EBITDA rising to $400–450M in 2026 and up to $750–800M by 2028, gradually improving leverage and coverage, though forecasts could change if Operation Lion's Roar materially affects the Israeli economy.

Series 7 debentures size up to 550 million par value Expected issuance amount rated A2.il

Debt to capital ratio 68.6% Gross financial debt/cap as of 31.03.2026
Debt to EBITDA 18.0 For 2025 in Midroog’s scorecard
Cash and deposits $979M Liquidity reserves as of 31.03.2026
Forecast EBITDA 2028 $750–800M Midroog base case for 2028
A2.il financial
"Midroog assigns an A2.il rating to debentures series 7, which is expected to be issued"
Power Purchase Agreements financial
"under long-term PPA1 agreements for the sale of electricity, mainly with giant corporations"
A power purchase agreement is a long-term contract in which a buyer agrees to purchase electricity from a specific generator at a set price and schedule, much like a multi-year subscription for energy. For investors, these contracts matter because they lock in predictable revenue and price terms, reducing exposure to volatile wholesale power markets and making project cash flows and financing risks easier to evaluate.
non-recourse debt financial
"A project finance structure based on non-recourse debt of the subsidiaries."
A non-recourse debt is a loan where the lender can seize only the specific asset pledged as security (for example, a building or equipment) if the borrower defaults, and cannot pursue the borrower’s other assets or income. Investors care because this limits how much downside the borrower’s other holdings absorb and changes who bears loss in trouble: lenders face higher recovery risk while equity holders can be wiped out more easily, affecting valuation and risk assessment.
debt to EBITDA ratio financial
"The debt to EBITDA ratio stood at 18.0 in 2025, and should improve somewhat"
interest coverage ratio financial
"the interest coverage ratio of EBIT to finance costs is expected to stand in the range of 1.4-2.0"
A measure of how easily a company can pay the interest on its debt, calculated by comparing the earnings it generates from operations to the interest it owes. It matters to investors because a higher ratio means the company can comfortably meet interest payments — like having several paychecks set aside to cover your rent — while a low ratio signals greater risk of missed payments or financial strain.
liquidity reserves financial
"Good financial flexibility and high liquidity reserves, which stood at $979 million"

Summary of Rating Rationale

 

The rating takes into account the following considerations, among others: (1) The Company operates in the sector of electricity generation from renewable energies, in Israel and around the world, which is assessed by Midroog at medium risk; (2) The Company's activity in the different countries is mostly conducted under tariff arrangements in a supportive regulatory environment and/or under long-term PPA1 agreements for the sale of electricity, mainly with giant corporations and local grid operators. In the framework of its electricity storage activity in the US, the Company provides local system operators with grid services, according to an income model based on availability payments that are not affected by demand. In our assessment, these characteristics contribute to stability of the Company's cash flow and strengthen cash flow certainty over the long term; (3) Lower entry barriers to the renewable energy power generation market than to the power generation market based on fossil fuel plants, which is characterized by high entry barriers due, among other things, to the need for significant capital investments coupled with technological and engineering complexity. At the same time, the Company has focused in recent years on the initiation and construction of high-capacity renewable energy projects, on a scale which, in our opinion, requires expertise, experience and execution capabilities not generally possessed by players in the market; (4) The growth trend characterizing the renewable energy sector in Israel and worldwide, supported by government decisions for setting renewable energy promotion targets; (5) A substantial increase in the installed capacity and geographical diversification of the income-generating projects. This trend is expected to persist in the coming years, with the entry into commercial operation of additional projects in the US, Europe and Israel; (6) Improvement in the Company's geographical diversification and revenue concentration, with further improvement expected as additional projects enter commercial operation; (7) The Company's strategy to create a broad and diversified geographical mix, which includes the sale of electricity in developed markets, alongside operations in developing countries with varying regulatory regimes; (8) The Company has a significant investment plan that includes the construction and development of several projects in the US, Europe and Israel. This plan has resulted in a substantial increase in Capex expenses in recent years, with these expenses2 amounting to $1.8 billion in 2025, compared to $0.9 billion in 2024, in a growth trend expected to persist in the coming years; (9) A project finance structure based on non-recourse debt of the subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Company's coverage ratios are relatively long and characterized by a high leverage ratio, as customary in the sector, as against assets with long-term cash flows that align with the project debt duration; (10) The revenue-generating ability of the Company is assessed to be good, given the stability, profitability and financial strength of the projects held by the Company, with EBITDA as of the end of 2025 totaling $284 million, compared to $247 million3 for the year-before period; (11) Exposure to interest rates, exchange rates and the credit risks of the various countries in which the Company operates. It should be noted that approximately 88% of the Company's existing debt (at project and Company level) is not exposed to interest-rate fluctuations; (12) The gross financial debt to capital resources (Cap) ratio stood at 71.1% at the end of 2025. The share offering held in the first quarter of 2026 bolstered the Company's financial strength; (13) The debt to EBITDA ratio stood at 18.0 in 2025, and should improve somewhat in 2026-2027, in view of substantial cash flows from new projects that are set to begin commercial operation. (14) Good financial flexibility and high liquidity reserves, which stood at $979 million as of March 31, 2026; (15) In our assessment, renewable energy power generation projects have low exposure to environmental and social risks, in light of supportive regulation and demand trends. We likewise rate the Company's exposure to governance risk as low.

 

Under Midroog's base case scenario, EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $400-450 million in 2026, and to increase significantly during 2027-2028, to a range of $550-600 million in 2027 and $750-800 million in 2028, following the entry into commercial operation of several projects, mainly in the US. The debt to EBITDA ratio is expected to stand at 16.0 in 2026, with this ratio projected to improve in 2027 to a range of 11.5-12.5. Meanwhile, the interest coverage ratio of EBIT to finance costs is expected to stand in the range of 1.4-2.0 in those years. Additionally, the gross financial debt to capital resources (Cap) ratio is expected to be in the range of 68%-72% in the years 2026-2028.

Additional Rating Considerations

 

(1) The Company’s undertaking to maintain liquidity reserves and/or available unused credit facilities in a minimum amount of approximately NIS 100 million, at the very least, in excess of bond repayment needs for the following 9 months; (2) Structural and cash flow subordination of the Company to senior and subordinated debts of the projects owned by it, moderated by high-quality projects with wide geographical diversification; (3) Ownership without a control core, allowing for an appropriate balance between debtholders and shareholders and significant capital raises, as necessary, with no dividend distribution expected in periods of significant investments.

 

Rating Outlook

 

The positive rating outlook is supported by the strengthening of the Company’s capital base and the expected commercial operation of material projects in the U.S. in the short-to-medium term, alongside the Company’s strong business position, high cash flow certainty, and financial flexibility.

 

Operation Lion's Roar, which began on February 26, 2026, has led to a series of repercussions and restrictions, including, among others, the partial or full closure of businesses, suspension of civilian flights, restrictions on gatherings at workplaces and educational institutions, as well as the call-up of reserves. These measures have resulted in a reduction in economic activity and other negative effects on the Israeli economy. In Midroog's assessment, this period is characterized by a high degree of uncertainty as to how the war will unfold and as to its economic ramifications. Accordingly, Midroog may update the base case scenario for the rating in light of future developments.

 

Factors that could lead to a rating upgrade

 

·Substantial improvement in leverage ratios, cash flow and coverage ratios, and demonstration of stability over time.

 

·Significant improvement in the Company's overall capacity, revenues, and cash flow diversification.

FAQ

What credit rating did Midroog assign to Enlight Renewable Energy (ENLT)?

Midroog rates Enlight Renewable Energy A2.il with a positive outlook. This rating applies to the issuer and to its series 7 debentures, alongside existing series 3-4 and 6-8. A2.il reflects relatively high local creditworthiness, supported by contracted renewable assets and diversified operations.

How large is Enlight Renewable Energy’s new debenture issuance?

Midroog expects Enlight to issue up to 550 million par value in series 7 debentures. The proceeds are expected to refinance existing debt and support ongoing operations, aligning long-term funding with its expanding portfolio of renewable projects in the US, Europe and Israel.

How leveraged is Enlight Renewable Energy (ENLT) according to the rating report?

Enlight shows high leverage with gross financial debt of $5,512M. As of March 31, 2026, gross debt to capital was 68.6%, while the 2025 debt to EBITDA ratio stood at 18.0, a level Midroog classifies in the Ba.il range within its scorecard.

What were Enlight Renewable Energy’s key 2025 financial figures?

In 2025, Enlight reported adjusted EBITDA of $284M and total assets of $8,630M. Capex was heavy at $1,821M as the company advanced multiple projects. These figures illustrate rapid balance-sheet growth driven by investments in renewable generation and storage capacity.

What EBITDA growth does Midroog forecast for Enlight Renewable Energy?

Midroog’s base case projects strong EBITDA growth for Enlight. It expects EBITDA of $400–450M in 2026, rising to $550–600M in 2027 and $750–800M in 2028 as additional renewable projects, mainly in the US, reach commercial operation and contribute cash flow.

How strong is Enlight Renewable Energy’s liquidity position?
