TEL AVIV, IL / ACCESS Newswire / May 9, 2025 / 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 customers, announced today that it is on track to meet its next four major contractual milestones and complete Stage 1 of its groundbreaking TES project for Tempo Beverages Ltd. ("Tempo") in early July 2025.
Construction of the TES base began in early April 2025, following completion of the required civil work by Tempo. Brenmiller expects to complete Stage 1 of the project in early July 2025 by meeting the following key milestones: completion of the base structure on May 12th, 2025, completion of the base insulation in the third week of May 2025 and installation of the first half of the bCubes™ in the last week of May 2025.
Stage 2 of the project, which includes the installation of the remaining bCubes™ and insulation, is expected to take place in the second half of July 2025.
Construction of the TES is expected to be completed in September 2025 with commissioning set to begin in October 2025.
"Our system assembly at Tempo's beverage processing facility is progressing well, and we are happy to stay on track to meet our ambitious timeline for commissioning in 2025," said Avi Brenmiller, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Brenmiller Energy.
Brenmiller is set to replace Tempo's fossil fuel boilers with a 32 MWh bGen™ ZERO TES system. By enabling the switch from heat derived from fossil fuels to heat derived from electricity, eliminating the use of approximately 2,000 tons of heavy fuel each year, Brenmiller's bGen™ is estimated to mitigate over 6,200 tons of carbon emissions annually and save Tempo an estimated $7.5 million over 15 years.
