Enlight to Supply Vishay with $105m of Clean Power Over 12 Years

Enlight continues to drive the transition of the Israeli economy to renewable energy April 22, 2025 09:00 ET | Source: Enlight Renewable Energy Ltd. TEL AVIV, Israel, April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enlight Renewable Energy (“Enlight”, "the Company”, NASDAQ: ENLT, TASE: ENLT.TA), a leading renewable energy platform, announced that it has signed an agreement with Vishay Israel Ltd. for the supply of electricity valued at approximately $105m for a period of 12 years, and includes an option to significantly increase consumption volumes over the life of the contract. Vishay joins other leading entities in Israel that have signed clean electricity supply agreements with Enlight in recent months, including the Weizmann Institute of Science, NTA Metropolitan Mass Transit, Amdocs, Big Shopping Centers, SodaStream, and Applied Materials. Enlight, which owns the largest portfolio of renewable energy assets in Israel, is leading the transition of the country’s economy to clean power following the electricity market’s deregulation, which allows large consumers to enter into direct supply agreements with power producers. The agreement with Enlight will help Vishay, one of the world's largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components, to significantly reduce its electricity costs Israel. In addition, the related reduction in emissions will be equivalent to planting approximately 740,000 new trees per year or removing about 17,000 fuel-powered vehicles from the road each year. Gilad Peled, CEO of Enlight MENA, commented, “Enlight congratulates Vishay, one of the largest electronic component manufacturers in the world, on its decision to switch its plants in Israel to clean and environmentally friendly energy. This deal follows a series of agreements we have reached with some of the highest-quality companies in Israel. These firms have chosen to lead on environmental responsibility, and are an example to the entire economy. In addition to its environmental benefits, the agreement with Enlight will allow Vishay's plants in Israel to save millions of dollars on their electricity bills, and serves as another example of how renewable energy increases competition and reduces power costs in Israel.” Boaz Bazak, Director of IEHS, Vishay Israel, commented, “The agreement marks a significant step in our ongoing commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. This partnership will provide our manufacturing facilities with clean, reliable energy at lower rates, enhancing our operational efficiency and reducing our environmental impact. It aligns perfectly with our mission to promote sustainability and reduce our carbon footprint. By securing renewable electricity at a discounted price, we can continue to grow while supporting global efforts to combat climate change.” About Enlight Renewable Energy Founded in 2008, Enlight develops, finances, constructs, owns, and operates utility-scale renewable energy projects.
