Brenmiller Energy Ltd. ("Brenmiller", "Brenmiller Energy” or the
“Company”) (Nasdaq: BNRG), a leading global provider of thermal
energy storage (“TES”) solutions for industrial and utility
markets, announced today that its contractor has started assembling
its 32 MWh bGen™ ZERO TES system for Tempo Beverages (“Tempo”)
on-site at the client’s factory in Netanya, Israel. Tempo,
partially owned by Heineken International B.V., is one of Israel’s
largest producers and distributors of beverages for brands
including Heineken and Pepsi.
“We are proud to report that on-site assembly of our bGen for
Tempo is running according to schedule and project commissioning is
on track for end of 2025,” said Avi Brenmiller, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Brenmiller Energy. “It’s exciting to see our
flagship project come to life, as well as its momentum reflected in
our pipeline with each additional milestone we achieve. We’re
confident that this project will create even greater demand for TES
solutions globally, as we demonstrate that cleaner solutions are
better economic solutions.”
The contractor is responsible for ensuring that the construction
and installation of Tempo’s bGen™ system complies with all safety
standards and follows the strictest supervision, reporting and
coordination standards with Brenmiller and the customer, while
remaining on schedule to completion.
As a global leader in deployed TES systems with 103 MWh in
operation and construction, Brenmiller’s bGen™ will replace Tempo’s
heavy fuel oil boilers to serve as the beverage processor’s primary
heat source. The switch from fossil fuels to electricity is
estimated to mitigate over 6,200 tons of carbon emissions annually
and save Tempo an estimated $7.5 million over 15 years.
