NOTE
19
— BUSINESS SEGMENTS
 
In
2018,
the Company started disclosing its energy storage and power load management business activity under the Other segment as such operations met the reportable segment criteria of ASC
280,
Segment Reporting. As such, starting in
2018
the Company has
three
reporting segments: the Electricity segment, the Product segment and the Other segment. These segments are managed and reported separately as each offers different products and serves different markets. The Electricity segment is engaged in the sale of electricity from the Company’s power plants pursuant to PPAs. The Product segment is engaged in the manufacture, including design and development, of turbines and power units for the supply of electrical energy and in the associated construction of power plants utilizing the power units manufactured by the Company to supply energy from geothermal fields and other alternative energy sources. The Other segment is engaged in management of curtailable customer loads under contracts with U.S. retail energy providers and directly with large commercial and industrial customers as well as battery storage as a service.
 
Transfer prices between the operating segments were determined on current market values or cost plus markup of the seller’s business segment.
 
Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following tables, including, as further described under Note
