Exhibit 99.1


Kenon’s Subsidiary OPC Energy Ltd. Announces Updates in respect of its Subsidiary Gnrgy Ltd.

Singapore, May 5, 2024. Kenon Holdings Ltd.’s (NYSE: KEN, TASE: KEN) subsidiary OPC Energy Ltd. (“OPC”) announces updates regarding the separation agreement (the Separation Agreement”) between OPC Holdings Israel Ltd. (“OPC Israel”), which is 80% owned by OPC, and which owns 51% of Gnrgy Ltd. (“Gnrgy”), a company which operates in the field of charging electric vehicles and the installation of charging stations for electric vehicles in Israel and the founder (“Founder”) of Gnrgy, as described in Kenon’s report on Form 6-K furnished on January 16, 2024. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, each shareholder of Gnrgy gave each other an option to acquire their Gnrgy shares, and OPC Israel had a first right to purchase all of the Founder’s shares in Gnrgy. OPC also announced a non-binding memorandum of understanding between OPC Israel and a third party (the “Memorandum of Understanding”) regarding a potential merger of operations between Gnrgy and the third party.

OPC has now announced that the Memorandum of Understanding did not result in an agreement, and OPC Israel did not exercise its right to purchase the Founder’s Gnrgy shares within the prescribed period of time. Accordingly, the Founder will have the right to purchase OPC Israel’s Gnrgy shares within a certain period and under the conditions as set forth in the Separation Agreement. OPC estimates that its financial statements as of March 31, 2024 will reflect an additional impairment in respect of its investment in Gnrgy of approximately NIS 21 million (approximately $6 million).
