On December 9, 2004 ORMAT Technologies, Inc. received a purchase order (the

on the Sakhalin Island in the Russian Federation. As the Registrant announced on
December 9, 2004, the order remained subject to final approval by the customer.


On January 28, 2005 the customer rendered final approval and the Purchase Order
became a definitive agreement.

Delivery of the units is expected to take place between August 2005 and March
2006, with revenue expected to be realized during this time.

any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act,
except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.
