Exhibit 99.1
Kenon’s Subsidiary OPC Energy Ltd. Announces that CPV, a subsidiary of OPC, has
Signed a Memorandum of Understanding and Purchase and Sale Agreement to Increase
Holdings in Two Power Plants in its Energy Transition Business
Singapore, July 21, 2024. Kenon
Holdings Ltd.’s (NYSE: KEN, TASE: KEN) subsidiary OPC Energy Ltd. (“OPC”) announced on July 14, 2024 that CPV Group LP (“CPV”), a 70%-owned subsidiary of OPC, is in negotiations with two parties to acquire their ownership interests in two natural gas-fired power plants in the PJM market in which CPV
already has an interest (the “Projects”), thereby increasing CPV’s ownership interests in the Projects.
OPC has now announced that CPV has executed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with a binding exclusivity period of 90
days (“MOU”) with one party and a purchase and sale agreement (“PSA”)
with another party to purchase significant interests in CPV Shore Holdings, LLC (“Shore”) (which may result in CPV owning up to approximately 70% of
Shore, if the acquisition is completed) and in CPV Maryland, LLC (“Maryland”) (which may result in CPV owning up to approximately 75% of Maryland, if the acquisition is completed) (together, the “Transactions”).
The total amount required in connection with the Transactions, if completed, is expected by OPC to be approximately $210
million to $240 million, the main portion of which is in connection with the increase in ownership interest contemplated by the MOU.
OPC further announced that the increase in ownership contemplated by the MOU is subject to the execution of an agreement, and
the closing of the Transactions is subject to receipt of regulatory approvals, which are expected in the second half of 2024.
For further information, see Kenon’s Report on Form 6-K furnished on July 14, 2024.
