Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Accounting
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Ormat Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and the condensed consolidated statements of equity for the periods presented.
The financial data and other information disclosed in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year. 
These condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. 
Dollar amounts, except per share data, in the notes to these financial statements are rounded to the closest $1,000.
Settlement Agreement and War in Israel Settlement Agreement
As previously disclosed, on August 1, 2024, the Company entered into a settlement agreement, effective April 2024, (the “Agreement”) with a third-party battery systems supplier (the “Supplier”). Under the Agreement, the Supplier paid to the Company $35.0 million as a recovery of damages, such as significant loss of potential profit due to project delays, as well as additional costs incurred by the Company, related to locating and purchasing substitute battery solutions from alternative vendors (the “Recovery of Damages”), to settle the dispute. On August 16, 2024, the Company received the Recovery of Damages payment contingent upon certain conditions which the Company expects to be met, on a pro-rata basis, during the period until March 31, 2026. The Company accounted for the Recovery of Damages amount under the guidance of ASC 450, Contingencies, and ASC 705, Cost of Sales and Services, and as a result, deemed $25.0 million as a recovery of damages, which is recognized as income once contingency conditions are met, and $10.0 million as a reduction to the cost of battery systems to be purchased under the Agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized income of $2.0 million, and $9.4 million, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized income of $6.3 million for both periods. Such income was recorded under “Other operating income” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. These amounts represent the non-refundable portion of the recovery of damages for which contingency conditions have been met.
War in Israel
Starting October 7, 2023, Israel has been engaged in a complex multifront war in the Middle East. An agreement for a ceasefire in Gaza was reached in October 2025, conditioned on the parties meeting certain ongoing requirements. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, none of the Company's facilities or infrastructure have been damaged nor have its supply chains been significantly impacted since the war broke out. Management continuously monitors the effect of the war on the Company's financial position and results of operations. For more information, see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and accounts receivable.
Cash investments:
The Company places its cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions located in the United States (“U.S.”) and in foreign countries. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had deposits totaling $39.3 million and $31.2 million, respectively, in ten U.S. financial institutions that were federally insured up to $250,000 per account. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s deposits in foreign countries amounted to $66.1 million and $73.9 million, respectively.
Account receivables:
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, account receivables related to operations in foreign countries amounted to $99.8 million, and $105.2 million, respectively. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, accounts receivable from the Company’s primary customers, which each accounted for revenues in excess of 10% of total consolidated revenues for the related period, amounted to 56% and 57% of the Company’s trade receivables, respectively. The aggregate amount of notes receivable exceeding 10% of total receivables as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is $81.3 million, and $99.7 million, respectively.
 The Company's revenues from its primary customers as a percentage of total revenues are as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
2025202420252024
Southern California Public Power Authority (“SCPPA”)15.1 %17.9 %17.9 %20.9 %
Sierra Pacific Power Company and Nevada Power Company12.1 13.5 13.7 15.0 
Kenya Power and Lighting Co. Ltd. ("KPLC")11.9 13.5 12.1 12.9 
 The Company has historically been able to collect on substantially all of its receivable balances. As of September 30, 2025, the amount overdue from KPLC in Kenya was $36.3 million of which $11.0 million was paid in October of 2025. The Company believes it will be able to collect all past due amounts from KPLC. This belief is supported by the fact that in addition to KPLC's obligations under its power purchase agreement, the Company holds a support letter from the Government of Kenya that covers certain cases of KPLC non-payment (such as non-payments that are caused by government actions and/or political events).
In Honduras, as of September 30, 2025, the total amount overdue from Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica ("ENEE") was $16.0 million, of which $1.0 million was paid in October of 2025. In addition, due to the financial situation in Honduras, the Company may experience further delays in collection. The Company believes it will be able to collect all past due amounts from ENEE.

Revenues from Contracts with Customers
Revenues from Contracts with Customers
 Contract assets related to the Company’s Product segment reflect revenue recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities related to the Company's Product segment reflect payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. The Company receives payments from customers based on the terms established in the contracts. Total contract assets and contract liabilities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows:
September 30,December 31,
20252024
(Dollars in thousands)
Contract assets (*) $23,127 $29,243 
Contract liabilities (*) $(32,681)$(23,091)
(*) Contract assets and contract liabilities are presented as “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” and “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts”, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the year was fully recognized as product revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as a result of performance obligations having been fully satisfied as of September 30, 2025, except for certain immaterial amounts. Additionally, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, long-term costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts related to the Dominica project in the amount of $66.1 million and $26.0 million, respectively, are included under “Deposits and other” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and not under the contract assets and contract liabilities above, due their long-term nature.
On September 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $208.3 million of remaining performance obligations not yet satisfied or partly satisfied related to our Product segment. The Company expects to recognize approximately 100% of this amount as Product revenues during the next 24 months.
Disaggregated revenues from contracts with customers for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 are disclosed under Note 8 - Business Segments, to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Derivative Instruments 
The Company maintains a risk management strategy that may incorporate the use of swap contracts, put options, forward exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, and cross-currency swaps to minimize significant fluctuation in cash flows and/or earnings that are caused by oil and natural gas prices, exchange rate or interest rate volatility.
Transferable Production and Investment Tax Credits
Transferable Production and Investment Tax Credits
The Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) that was signed into law in August 2022, introduced a transferability provision for certain tax credits related to the clean production of energy. The recent enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill (“OBBB” or “OBBBA”) continues to allow the transfer of certain clean energy tax credits. Under the OBBB act, a reporting entity can monetize such credits through sale to a third party. The option for transferability of credits applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022. Several of the Company’s projects, which are not currently part of a tax monetization transaction, generate eligible tax credits, such as ITCs and PTCs, that are eligible to be transferred to a third-party under the provisions of the OBBB. The Company accounts for ITCs under ASC 740 through the “Income tax (provision) benefit” line in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. PTCs are accounted similarly to refundable or direct-pay credits outside of the “Income tax (provision) benefit” line with income recognized in the “Income attributable to sale of tax benefits” line in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Income recognized related to the expected sale of such transferable PTCs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $2.7 million and $16.0 million, respectively, net of discount, and $7.1 million, and $15.1 million, respectively, net of discount, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Tax benefits recognized under Income tax (provision) benefit related to transferable ITCs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $9.6 million and $33.8 million, respectively, net of discount, and $9.6 million, and $27.3 million, respectively, net of discount, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
New accounting pronouncements effective in future periods
New Accounting Pronouncements Effective in Future Periods
Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” to address concerns about (1) the application of derivative accounting to contracts with features based on the operations or activities of one of the parties to the contract and (2) the diversity in accounting for share-based noncash consideration from a customer that is consideration for the transfer of goods or services. The amendments in this ASU expand the scope exception for application of derivative accounting for certain contracts not traded on an exchange to include contracts for which settlement is based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. The amendments in this ASU also clarify that an entity should apply the guidance in Topic 606 to a contract with share-based noncash consideration from a customer for the transfer of goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU may be applied prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements; however, it anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)” to address challenges encountered when applying the guidance in Topic 326 to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under the current accounting guidance, an entity estimates expected credit losses based on relevant information about past events, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. The amendments in this ASU introduce a practical expedient that allows all entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements, however, it anticipates that the adoption of ASU 2025-05 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03 “Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810)” to modify the Topic 805 framework for identifying the accounting acquirer in certain business combinations when the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Under current accounting guidance, when a VIE is acquired, the primary beneficiary (i.e., the entity that consolidates the VIE) is the accounting acquirer. The amendments in this ASU revise current guidance to: (1) limit situations in which entities must identify the primary beneficiary as the accounting acquirer in certain business combinations, and (2) require that when a business combination involving a VIE is primarily effected through exchanging equity interests, entities must consider the general factors in Topic 805 to determine which entity is the accounting acquirer. This ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. This ASU should be applied prospectively to any acquisition transaction that occurs after the initial application date. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements; however, it anticipates that the adoption of ASU 2025-03 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740)–Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments in this ASU require that public entities, on an annual basis, disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This ASU also requires that all entities disclose, on an annual basis, (1) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, (2) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid, (3) income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and (4) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is near completion of the evaluation of the impact of ASU 2023-09, and plans to implement these amendments in its 2025 consolidated annual financial statements.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)” to improve the disclosure about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments in this ASU require disclosure of the following items in the notes to the financial statements at each interim and annual reporting date:
1The amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contain any of the expense categories listed in (a) through (e).
2A qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively.
3The total amount of selling expenses recognized in continuing operations, and the entity’s definition of selling expenses.
The amendments of this ASU also require that an entity include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the ASU or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements.
Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04 “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)” to improve the relevance and consistency in application of induced conversion guidance. The amendments in this ASU clarify the assessment of whether a transaction should be accounted for as an induced conversion or extinguishment of convertible
debt when changes are made to conversion features as part of an offer to settle the instrument. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. This ASU can be adopted either on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements; however, it anticipates that the adoption of ASU 2024-04 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
