Tel-Aviv, Israel, Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE American; TASE: ELLO) ("Ellomay" or the "Company"), a renewable energy and power generator and developer of renewable energy and power projects in Europe, Israel and USA, today announced that Ellomay Solar Italy Fourteen S.r.l. (an Italian project company 100% owned by the Company), was informed that it has been awarded a tariff in Italy's Transitional FER X "NZIA" national competitive tender (which provides a beneficial pricing arrangement described in more detail below) for solar plants using non-Chinese components, securing support for 80% of the capacity of its Ready-to-Build solar project "Ellomay 14", which is located in the Piemonte Region in Italy.

The Ellomay 14 project has peak capacity of 20 MWp, with an expected annual generation (P50) of approximately 32,200 MWh. The FER X "NZIA" tender awarded the Ellomay 14 project an operating fixed price of €68/MWh, to which a €10/MWh regional supplement applies, resulting in a total supported price of €78/MWh.

The FER X "NZIA" tender award entails a 20-year two-way Contract for Difference ("CfD"), providing long-term price stability for 80% of Ellomay 14's total production, while the remaining 20% will be sold under merchant pricing, preserving meaningful upside exposure to market price movements. The awarded tariff is indexed to the Italian CPI at 100% from the tender publication date in September 2025 until the project's commercial operation date ("COD") and following COD the tariff is 20% indexed to the Italian CPI, further enhancing revenue resilience and predictability over the contract period. In addition, the project will be eligible to receive Guarantees of Origin certificates ("GoOs"), which are expected to be tradeable. The Company currently expects that for the 20-year duration of the FER X "NZIA", the total revenues of Ellomay 14 will be approximately €55,000,000.

This award represents Ellomay's second successful FER X result in recent weeks, following the award granted to the Company's 79.5 MWp Ellomay 11 project in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy. Together with the long-term power purchase agreement ("PPA") executed earlier this year with Statkraft, the tender outcome further strengthens Ellomay's structured and diversified commercial presence in the Italian market.

The Company's Italian portfolio currently includes 38 MW operational projects with a 9-year power purchase agreement ("PPA") with Statkraft (51% owned), 160 MW under advanced construction processes which is expected to achieve COD in 2026 (51% owned), 210 MW that have reached Ready-to-Build status and approximately 53 MW that are expected to receive construction permits in the near term.

Ran Fridrich, CEO and Board Member of Ellomay, said: "The award secured for Ellomay 14 in the FER X "NZIA" tender for solar plants using non-Chinese components highlights the steady advancement of our activities in Italy. Together with the FER X award recently obtained for Ellomay 11 and the long-term PPA we signed with Statkraft earlier this year, this outcome reinforces the commercial framework we are establishing in the country and supports the strategy we are pursuing. Our focus remains on developing projects that offer stable, long-term value while maintaining measured exposure to market dynamics. Ellomay 14 contributes directly to this objective, and our entry into the storage sector will further enhance the flexibility and long-term potential of our Italian platform. Our development efforts will continue to progress in line with this strategy."
