What Nofar Energy does
Nofar Energy Ltd. (O.Y. Nofar Energy Ltd., TASE: NOFR) is an Israeli renewable energy developer that initiates, finances, constructs, and operates utility-scale solar PV, floating solar, commercial and industrial rooftop solar, and battery energy storage systems (BESS) across approximately 10 countries in Europe, North America, and the Middle East. As of June 2026 the company reports 1,271 MW of connected and ready-to-connect PV projects, 1,157 MW under construction and pre-construction, and 2,127 MWh of energy storage projects in its pipeline, supported by wholly-owned regional platforms including Nofar Romania, Nofar Spain, Atlantic Green and Noventum Power (UK), Sunprime Holdings (Italy), BlueSky Utility and Pine Gate (USA), Nofar Poland, and Nofar Serbia.
The company's core technology stack is solar PV combined with co-located battery storage, exemplified by the 160 MW/340 MWh and 120 MW/520 MWh BESS at the Iepuresti and Ghimpati solar parks in Romania, the 630 MWh Cellarhead standalone BESS in the UK, and the 350 MW BESS at the Sophocles C&I rooftop project in Italy. Nofar pioneered floating solar in Israel (100+ MW connected since 2018) and operates more than 2,000 C&I rooftop installations generating over 481 MW of renewable energy in Italy, Israel, and the USA.
Nofar's business model combines long-term recurring revenue from electricity sales via power purchase agreements and grid tariffs with project development and asset rotation, selling completed assets to infrastructure funds or operating them under PPAs. Project-level capital is sourced primarily from development finance institutions and project finance banks (EBRD, EIB/BEI, Raiffeisen, Natixis CIB, EB-SIM), with roughly €895 million of disclosed project debt closed between 2024 and 2026. The company has pursued an aggressive acquisition strategy, including the 2025 purchase of bankrupt US developer Pine Gate for $285 million and the 2026 acquisition of a 45.9% controlling stake in Ellomay Capital for approximately NIS 1 billion ($310.4 million).
