US based Ormat Technologies has announced the commencement of commercial operations of its Arrowleaf solar and battery energy storage project in California. Arrowleaf is Ormat’s first hybrid solar-plus-storage facility with approximately 42 MW of solar capacity and 35 MW / 140 MWh of energy storage. The project operates under a long-term tolling agreement with San Diego Community Power and delivers electricity to nearly one million customers. Ormat monetizes the project’s investment tax credits through a hybrid tax equity partnership with Morgan Stanley Renewables, resulting in about $38 million of upfront proceeds. The tax credit monetization is completed in December 2025 and contributes to more than $160 million of tax credits collected in 2025, bringing Ormat’s total operating portfolio to about 1.7 GW.
