What Kenon does

Singapore-based holding company managing investment stakes, chiefly in Israeli power producer OPC Energy.

Reported results are mostly those of OPC Energy, whose power plants in Israel and the US earn by selling electricity and capacity under contracts and in power markets, with Kenon's cash coming as dividends from OPC and from selling stakes. Spun out of Israel Corporation in 2014, it is controlled by Idan Ofer.
