Exhibit 99.1

Italian Decree Providing for a Reduction in the Feed-in-Tariff for Existing Photovoltaic Plants Converted into
Law

Tel-Aviv, Israel, August 24, 2014 – Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE MKT: ELLO; TASE: ELOM) (“Ellomay” or the “Company”) an emerging operator in the renewable energy and energy infrastructure sector, today announced the approval by the Italian parliament and the conversion into law of the Italian decree (the “Decree”) providing for a decrease the Feed-in-Tariff (“FiT”) guaranteed to existing photovoltaic plants with nominal capacity of more than 200 kW (“Law 116/2014”). Preliminary information concerning the Decree was included in the Company’s press release issued on June 25, 2014.

Law 116/2014 includes several changes compared to the Decree. Pursuant to Law 116/2014, operators of existing photovoltaic plants, such as the Company, which received a guaranteed 20-year FiT under current Italian legislation, will be required to choose between the following four alternatives:

(i) a reduction of 8% in the FiT for photovoltaic plants with nominal capacity above 900 kW, a reduction of 7% in the FiTfor photovoltaic plants with nominal capacity between 500 kW and 900 kW and a reduction of 6% in the FiT for photovoltaic plants with nominal capacity between 200 kW and 500 kW (i.e., out of the twelve Italian photovoltaic plants owned by the Company, eight will be subject to a reduction of 8% in the FiT and four will be subject to a reduction of 7% in the FiT);

(ii) extending the 20-year term of the FiT to 24 years with a reduction in the FiT in a range of 17%-25%, depending on the time remaining on the term of the FiT  for the relevant photovoltaic plant, with higher reductions applicable to photovoltaic plants that commenced operations earlier (based on the remaining years in the initial guaranteed FiT period of the Company’s existing Italian photovoltaic plants, the expected reduction in the FiT for the Company’s photovoltaic plants is approximately 19%);

(iii) a rescheduling in the FiT so that during an initial period the FiT is reduced and during the second period the FiT is increased in the same amount of the reduction (the percentages of the decrease and length of the initial period have not yet been published and will be determined by the Italian Ministry of Economic Development by October 1, 2014 but based on Law 116/2014 the goal is to provide for a scheme that will guarantee an annual saving of at least Euro 600 million by the Italian public between 2015 and 2019, assuming all photovoltaic operators opt for this alternative); or

(iv) the beneficiaries of FiT incentive schemes can sell up to 80% of the revenues deriving from the incentives generated by the photovoltaic plant to a selected buyer to be identified among the top EU banks. The selected buyer will become eligible to receive the original FiT and will not be subject to the changes set forth in alternatives (i) through (iii) above. The exact terms of this alternative will be set by the Italian Authority for Electricity and Gas by November 20, 2014.

The operators that will choose one of the alternatives set forth in (i) – (iii) above can benefit from governmentally subsidized lines of credit or guarantees, for a maximum amount equal to the difference between the incentive due as of December 31, 2014 and the rescheduled incentive under the alternative chosen. The guarantee or line of credit will be made available by Cassa depositi e prestiti, a financing institution controlled by the Italian government, according to criteria that will be determined in the future by a specific decree.

As the Company previously announced, the photovoltaic plant operators, such as the Company, are required to make this choice by November 30, 2014, with effect commencing January 1, 2015. Operators that will not make a choice will automatically be subject to the first alternative.

The Company is studying Law 116/2014 and its effects on the Company’s results and, as final details concerning the four alternatives have not been published yet, cannot at this point determine which alternative it will choose with respect to each of its Italian photovoltaic plants.
