Subsequent to the Executive Order issued on July 7, 2025, the United States Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) issued new criteria on August 15, 2025 regarding the “beginning of construction” requirements to qualify for safe harbor treatment in connection with the tax benefit eligibility of solar projects.

As previously enacted under the reconciliation bill¹, solar projects that qualify for safe harbor treatment by July 4, 2026 shall be eligible for full IRA tax benefits provided they become operational by 2030. The IRS guidelines for energy storage projects remain unchanged. The new guidelines will enter into effect on September 2, 2025, with no retroactive effect on projects that have already secured their tax benefit eligibility.

Following a preliminary analysis, the new guidelines allow the Company to implement, at the minimum, its business plan as published in the presentation titled: “Enlight and the IRA Transition”, furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 6-K furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 27, 2025, pursuant to which the Company’s total operating portfolio in the U.S. eligible for tax benefits is expected to reach 6.5-8.0 factored gigawatts (FGW), by the end of 2028. The Company expects that its total global operating portfolio will reach 11-13 FGW with an annual recurring revenue and income run rate (ARR) of approximately $2 billion by the end of 2028, almost four times larger than the Company’s revenues and income guidance for 2025.

Furthermore, a significant portion of the Company’s mature portfolio² in the U.S. already meets existing regulations. In addition to the capacity mentioned above, the Company estimates an additional significant amount of projects within its U.S. development portfolio may meet the guidelines for commencement of construction and commencement of operations, and thus qualify for full tax credits, subject to other required development milestones.

¹ H. R. 1 – commonly known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”.

² The mature portfolio includes operating projects, projects under construction, and pre-construction projects (which begin construction within 12 months).
