ORA’s Segmental Performance
Electricity: Revenues in this segment amounted to $169.3 million, up 5.8% year over year. This upside was primarily due to contributions from the Blue Mountain power plant, improved generation performance at the Olkaria and Puna facilities, higher energy rates at Puna and lower curtailments in the United States. The increase was partially offset by planned maintenance activities.
Product: This segment’s revenues declined 21.6% to $46.7 million from the year-ago quarter’s level. The decrease was due to the timing of manufacturing and construction progress.
Energy Storage: Revenues in this division amounted to $42.8 million, up 195.1% from the prior-year quarter’s figure. This was driven by the high availability of its assets, which allowed it to capitalize on strong merchant pricing in the PJM market, as well as new capacity additions over the past 12 months.
