                                     BETWEEN
                          IMPERIAL IRRIGATION DISTRICT
                                       AND
                                   ORMESA, LLC

1    PARTIES

     1.1  This Energy Services Agreement is entered into this 11th day of
          February, 2003, between Irrigation District ("IID"), an irrigation
          district organized under the Water Code of the State of California,
          and ORMESA, LLC ("ORMESA"), a Delaware limited liability company.

     1.2  IID and ORMESA are sometimes referred to in This Agreement
          individually as "Party" and collectively as "Parties".

2    RECITALS

     2.1  On March 8, 1999, IID and East Mesa Geothermal, LLC, ("EMG") entered
          into an Interim Distribution Service Agreement ("Interim Agreement")
          whereby EMG selected to self serve the electrical load of certain
          geothermal electric generating facilities located east of the City of
          Holtville, (as more particularly described herein) rather than
          purchasing such service from IID, as it had previously done. In place
          at that time were plant connection and transmission service agreements
          for IID to wheel the gross output of these facilities to various
          parties.

     2.2  On April 15, 2002, the previous owners of EMG transferred their
          interest in the above-described geothermal facilities to subsidiaries
          of Ormat Nevada Inc. which renamed EMG to ORMESA, and, as a result,
          ORMESA succeeded to East Mesa's rights, duties and obligations arising
          under the Interim Agreement, as well as the plant connection and
          transmission service agreements.

     2.3  IID and ORMESA now desire to replace the Interim Agreement with this
          Energy Service Agreement in order to redefine their relationship from
          and after The Effective Date (defined in Section 4.1, below), relating
          to the availability of certain IID facilities, and the furnishing of
          IID services to ORMESA's facilities. Further, IID and ORMESA desire to
          resolve certain disputes which arose between IID and EMG ("The
          Disputes"), regarding performance of and payment for activities of
          IID, in the one hand, and ORMESA and EMG, on the other, during the
          term of the Interim Agreement and to establish and define the terms of
          the settlement of The Disputes.

     2.4  To facilitate monitoring the activities of The Parties at the
          Facilities, contemplated in This Agreement, as well as the services
          provided pursuant to the plant connection and transmission service
          agreements, The Parties have agreed that a new, simplified metering
          scheme, as described in Exhibit A which will be installed at IID's
          Highline Substation. This equipment will become the master meter for
          the subject facilities.


                                                                               1



     2.5  Nothing in This Agreement affects the rights and obligations of IID
          and ORMESA created by the existing plant connection and transmission
          service agreements.

     2.6  The Interim Distribution Service Agreement is hereby extended to
          December 31, 2002. Thereafter, except as otherwise herein provided,
          this Energy Services Agreement shall become effective.

          is made that an incorrect billing has been issued, and an overpayment
          has occurred, the amount of the overpayment shall be paid to ORMESA by
          IID. Overpayments shall bear interest at the rate of seven percent
          (7%) per annum. Interest shall be prorated, by days from the date of
          payment by ORMESA to the date the refund is mailed by IID to ORMESA.

10   LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY

     10.1 Indemnity for Agreement Activities  A given Party, its directors,
          officers, agents, and employees shall not be liable to the other
          Party, its directors, officers, agents, and employees, for claims or
          losses (including consequential losses) resulting from the given
          Party's Agreement Activities, except for those claims or losses
          (including consequential losses) attributable to the Willful Action of
          the given Party, its directors, officers, agents, or employees. The
          other Party expressly releases the given Party, its directors,
          officers, agents, and employees, from any liabilities, claims, or
          losses (including consequential losses) resulting from the given

          the other Party, its directors, officers, agents, and employees
          harmless against all liabilities to any person or entity not a Party
          to This Agreement, which liabilities arise as a result of the subject
          matter of This Agreement and which result from the sole negligence or
          Willful Action of the indemnifying Party, its directors, officers,
          agents, or employees, which liabilities involve death, bodily injury,
          or property damage, and whether such liabilities are direct, indirect,
          or consequential. The indemnity obligation described in this Section
          10.2 shall include a Party's liabilities to third parties, as set
          forth herein, as well as its reasonable costs, expenses, and

                 other Party under any provision of This Agreement, shall not
                 constitute the dedication of the Party's facilities or any
                 portion thereof to the public or to the other Party.

     13.3 Written Waiver Required  Remedies of a given Party upon the other
          Party's default or other failure to perform any obligation set forth

          failure to require strict performance of any of the provisions of This
          Agreement or to exercise any of its rights hereunder constitute a
          waiver of such provisions or rights, unless an express written waiver
          from the given Party shall have been given to the other Party.


                                                                               9



     13.4 No Partnership or Joint Venture  Created The Parties do not intend to
          create or establish, nor shall This Agreement or any performance or
          undertaking by a Party or the Parties pursuant to This Agreement be
          deemed to create or establish, a partnership, joint venture, or other
          similar relationship between them.

     13.5 No Third Party Rights  The Parties do not intend to create rights in
          or to grant remedies to any third party as a beneficiary of This
          Agreement.

     13.6 Performance Excused by Occurrence of Uncontrollable Force

          13.6.1 Neither Party shall be considered to be in default in the
          performance of any of its obligations under This Agreement when a
          failure of performance is due to an Uncontrollable Force.

          strike or labor dispute, nothing contained herein shall be construed
          to require the Party to settle any such strike or labor dispute.

     13.8 Assignments  Any assignment by ORMESA of its interest in This
          Agreement which is made without the written consent of IID, which such
          consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall not relieve ORMESA
          of its liability for performance of any of its duties and obligations
          hereunder, and in the event of any such assignment ORMESA shall
          continue to remain liable for payment of any and all money due IID
          hereunder and for the performance and observance of all other
          covenants, duties, and obligations to be performed and observed
          hereunder by ORMESA to the same extent as though no assignment has
          been made; provided, however, that ORMESA will have the right to
          assign This Agreement for security purposes, to a bank or other entity
          which provides financing or refinancing for construction, repair,
          maintenance and operation of The Facilities or any portion thereof or
          to an affiliate that has ownership or operational interests in The
          Facilities and IID shall promptly consent to such assignment in
          writing. IID shall approve an assignment to a lender or affiliate, so
          long as any such assignee(s) agrees, in writing, to be bound by the
          terms and conditions of This Agreement, and such agreement is
          furnished to IID in advance of the assignment. In the case of a
          lender, IID, in its sole discretion, may waive the application of some
          or all of the duties and obligations of This Agreement, so long as the
          lender agrees that, in the event of foreclosure, the successor shall
          be bound by the terms hereof to the same extent as ORMESA. For
          purposes of this Section 13.8, the term "affiliate" refers to an
          entity which is directly or indirectly owned or controlled by an
          entity which owns or controls fifty percent (50%) or more of the
          equity interest in ORMESA.

Ormesa, LLC - Plant Engineer

Holtville, CA 92250


Darrell:

The following is a basic description of the proposed simplified metering scheme
to interface Imperial Irrigation District and Ormesa, LLC (OG) Facilities. This
scheme will be created to simplify export metering and to capture and register
electrical services provided to OG as described in the "Energy Services
Agreement" (ESA) due to be effective January 1, 2003.

OG plans to self serve its station service load. OG will also generate to
fulfill any export or line loss schedule obligations per the ESA. As indicated
in the attached Simplified Metering Scheme, East Highline's "Master Meter" (M-1)
referenced to the 92 KV HL4-Line will be utilized to meter the net export from
0G. The existing OG-2 meter (M-2) will continue to meter the net generation from
the Ormesa Geothermal-2 facility. The net generation from OG-1 can be determined
from the difference of the meters i.e. OG-1=(M-1)-(M-2).

Further, IID will provide standby service (all components) up to 2 MW at the A2
Rate. Any additional requirements by OG will be charged at the penalty rate of
$18/KW-MO. Associated energy will be charged at the thermal heat rate of 14,000
MMBTU/KWH multiplied by the Southern California Border Gas price as published in
Platt's "Gas Daily," on a two day lag for the month during which energy was
provided.

Below is a description and components breakdown of these two schedules. Please
note that an official "Penalty Rate" does not exist. My intentions here are to
demonstrate how electric service component's costs from the A2 rate will change
if OG exceeds 2 MW. Also, for each component I have included in brackets and in
red, a description of the algorithm(s) used to appropriately capture usage.
These algorithms will be created on a display of our Advanced Control's Energy
Management System. Inputs to EMS to be provided by Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA).

Please confirm that this is generally agreeable to Ormesa, LLC.

                                    EXHIBIT B
          EXISTING PLANT CONNECTION AND TRANSMISSION SERVICE AGREEMENTS

     A. Background: On December 16, 2002 ORMESA further reorganized the Ormesa
Projects' holding structure in order to make them more efficient and streamline
the relationship with IID. All of the properties of Ormesa Geothermal, a
California General Partnership, Ormesa Geothermal II, a California General
Partnership and Gem Resources, LLC a Delaware corporation - which are entities
wholly owned by Ormesa LLC were merged into and are now held by ORMESA,
directly. For convenience we have attached the previous ownership structure
(Annex B.1) and the effect of the merger (Annex B.2).

     ORMESA, LLC will therefore require a SINGLE Plant Connection Agreement
("PCA") and a single Transmission Services Agreement ("TSA") for EACH of its
Power Purchase Agreements with Southern California Edison, to be achieved by
paragraphs B and C, as follows:

     B. Consolidation & Assignment of Agreements: The Parties to This Agreement
hereby agree that the following agreements are assigned and re-designated as
held by Ormesa LLC:

     1.  PCA for the Ormesa Geothermal Plant between IID and Ormesa Geothermal
         dated October 1, 1985.

     2.  The following two agreements should be consolidated into the PCA of
         Ormesa Geothermal:-

         i.  PCA for the Ormesa IE Geothermal Plan between IID and Geothermal
             dated October 21, 1988.

         ii. PCA for the Ormesa IH Geothermal Plant between IID and Ormesa
             Geothermal dated October 3, 1989.

     3.  PCA for the Ormesa Geothermal Plant No. 2 between IID and Ormesa
         Geothermal II dated May 26, 1987.

     4.  TSA for the Ormesa I, Ormesa IE and Ormesa IH Geothermal Power Plants
         between IID and Ormesa Geothermal dated October 3, 1989.

     5.  TSA for the Ormesa II Geothermal Power Plant between IID and Ormesa
         Geothermal II dated August 25, 1987.

     C. Termination of Agreements: The Parties to This Agreement hereby agree
to terminate the following agreements as they are no longer necessary for the
operation of the Projects:

     1.  PCA for the Geo East Mesa Limited Partnership Unit No. 2 between IID
         and Geo East Mesa Limited Partnership dated March 21, 1989.

     2.  PCA for the Geo East Mesa Limited Partnership Unit No. 3 between IID
         and Geo East Mesa Limited Partnership dated March 21, 1989.

In addition, upon consolidation of the PCAs mentioned in 2(i) and 2(ii) above
into Ormesa Geothermal, terminate the following:

     1.  PCA for the Ormesa IE Geothermal Plan between IID and Geothermal dated
         October 21, 1988.

                                                                             15


     2.  PCA for the Ormesa IH Geothermal Plant between IID and Ormesa
         Geothermal dated October 3, 1989.

     3.  TSA for the Geo East Mesa LP Unit No. 2 Plant between IID and Geo East
         Mesa Limited Partnership dated March 21, 1989.

     4.  TSA for the Geo East Mesa LP Unit No. 3 Plant between IID and Geo East
         Mesa Limited Partnership dated March 21, 1989.

                                 MUTUAL RELEASE


This Release, by and between ORMESA, LLC ("ORMESA"), a Delaware limited
liability company and Imperial Irrigation District ("IID"), is being executed
and delivered on February 11th, 2003, (the "Release Date"). ORMESA and IID are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Parties" and individually as a
"Party".

BACKGROUND

On March 8, 1999, IID and East Mesa Geothermal, LLC, ("EMG") entered into an
Interim Distribution Service Agreement ("Interim Agreement") whereby EMG elected
to self serve the electrical load of certain geothermal electric generating
facilities located East of the City of Holtville, rather than purchasing such
service from IID, as it had previously done.

On April 15, 2002, the previous owners of EMG transferred their interests in the
above-described geothermal facilities to subsidiaries of Ormat Nevada Inc., who
renamed EMG to ORMESA, and, as a result, ORMESA succeeded to EMG's rights,
duties and obligations arising under the Interim Agreement.

IID and ORMESA desire to resolve certain disputes which arose between them ("The
Disputes"), regarding performance of and payment for activities of IID, on the
one hand, and ORMESA on the other, during the term of the Interim Agreement and
to establish and define the terms of the settlement of The Disputes, pursuant to
the Energy Services Agreement between IID and ORMESA, to which this Release is
attached as Exhibit C.

IID and ORMESA represent to each other, their respective officers, directors,
successors and assigns, that their agreement to execute and be bound by the
terms of the Energy Services Agreement and this Mutual Release are based, in
part, on their warranty and representation that each has full authority to
settle The Disputes in accordance with the terms of the Energy Services
Agreement applicable to The Disputes, and that, by executing this Release, the
terms hereof will bind IID and ORMESA.

RELEASE TERMS

In consideration of the mutual benefits that they will receive as a result of
the resolution of their disputes arising under the Interim Agreement and the
terms of this Release, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree
as follows:

     1. Each Party, on behalf of itself and its affiliates and each of their
respective past, present and future officers, directors, board members,
attorneys, employees, agents, servants, consultants, advisors, shareholders,
successors and assigns (the "Releasing Party"), irrevocably and unconditionally
releases, acquits and forever discharges the other Party and its affiliates and
its past, present and future officers, directors, board members, attorneys,
employees, agents, servants, consultants, advisors, shareholders, successors and
assigns (the "Released Party") from any and all charges, complaints, claims,
actions, suits, demands, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements,
contracts, damages, costs, debts and expenses

                                       1


(including attorney fees and legal and court costs) whatsoever, whether known or
unknown, suspected or unsuspected, both at law and in equity (individually,
"Claim"; collectively, "Claims") that the Releasing Party now has, has ever had
or may hereafter have against the Released Party arising out of or in connection
with the Interim Agreement or the relationship between the Parties created
thereby. Each Party expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits
that it may have under any state or federal statute, court or administrative
decision, or common law principle that would otherwise limit the effect of this
Release to claims known or suspected prior to the Release Date, and it does so
understanding and acknowledging the significance and consequences of such
specific waiver.

     2. Except with respect to the obligations and performance required by the
terms and provisions of this Release, the Parties each acknowledge that they are
aware of the facts, and that it is their intention that execution of this
Release shall be effective as a full and final settlement of, and as a bar to,
each and every Claim. The Parties acknowledge that they are aware that if they
hereafter discover facts different from, or in addition to, the facts which they
now know or believe to be true, it is nevertheless their intention hereby to
settle finally, and fully, each and every Claim. In furtherance of such
intention, the Release herein shall become effective upon the events described
herein, and will remain in effect as releases notwithstanding the discovery of
any such different or additional facts.

     The Parties further understand and agree that the Release may extend to
matters which have not yet been discovered, and that such possibility has been
explicitly taken into account in determining the consideration to be given for
this Release and in entering into the Release herein which is intended to
include all Claims, whether known or unknown arising from the Interim Agreement.

     The Parties acknowledge that they are familiar with, and expressly waive,
all of the rights and/or privileges provided by California Civil Code section
1542 which states;

     "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT
     KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECTUING THE RELEAES,
     WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE
     DEBTOR."

     The Parties being aware of this Civil Code section 1542 hereby expressly
waive any and all rights that they might have thereunder and statutes of similar
effect throughout the world. The Parties understand and acknowledge the
significance and consequence of the specific waiver of California Civil Code
section 1542 and hereby assume full responsibility for any injuries, damages,
losses or liabilities that they may hereafter discover as possibly resulting
from the release Claims.

     3. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to refrain,
directly and indirectly, from asserting any claim or demand, or commencing,
instituting or causing to be commenced or instituted, any suit, proceeding,
arbitration or other action of any kind against any person or entity released
pursuant to the releases granted in Section 1 based upon any matter purported to
be released by this Release.

     4. Without in any way limiting any of the rights and remedies otherwise
available to the Released Party, the Releasing Party shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Released Party from and against all losses, liabilities, claims,
damages or expenses (including costs of


                                        2


investigation and attorney fees and legal and court costs), whether or not
involving third party claims, arising directly or indirectly from or in
connection with (i) the assertion by or on behalf of the Releasing Party of any
Claim or other matter purported to be released pursuant to this Release and (ii)
the assertion by any third party of any claim or demand against any Released
Party that arises directly or indirectly from, or in connection with, any
assertion by or on behalf of the Releasing Party against such third party of any
matters purported to be released pursuant to this Release.

     5. If any court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of this
Release invalid or unenforceable, the parties to this Release intend for the
other provisions of this Release to remain in full force and effect. Any
provision of this Release held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree
will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or
unenforceable.

     6. This Release may not be modified except by a writing signed by the
persons against whose interest such modification shall operate. This Release
shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California
without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned have executed and delivered this
Release as of February  , 2003.
