Brenmiller Advances Tempo and Wolfson TES Projects Expected to Generate Revenue from bGen Starting 2026

Brenmiller outlines key upcoming project milestones at Tempo and Wolfson

ROSH HA‘AYIN, IL / ACCESS Newswire / September 2, 2025 / Brenmiller Energy Ltd. (Nasdaq:BNRG), (the "Company", "Brenmiller" or "Brenmiller Energy") a leading global provider of Thermal Energy Storage ("TES") solutions for industrial and utility customers, today outlined key upcoming milestones for the Tempo Beverages Ltd. ("Tempo") and Wolfson Medical Center ("Wolfson") projects. In addition, the Company has numerous projects in development through joint ventures, as well as a robust global pipeline of opportunities valued in hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Tempo and Wolfson are the first in a series of revenue-generating projects that will scale our technology, our sales, and our impact," stated Avi Brenmiller, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Brenmiller Energy. "Tempo is expected to enter commercial operation and revenue generation in 2026, with Wolfson is ramping up for revenues by the end of 2026 or early 2027. This marks an important shift from project development to revenue execution and validates the Company's capital-efficient Energy as a Service (EaaS) approach."

Tempo Project Execution Timeline

Once commissioned, Brenmiller's bGen™ ZERO will replace Tempo's fossil fuel boilers and serve as the beverage processor's primary heat source at its Nethanya, Israel facility. The switch from heavy fuel oil 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. Tempo is partially owned by Heineken International B.V. and produces and distributes brands including Heineken and Pepsi. As of today, the expected project execution timeline for the Tempo project is:

  • Q4 2025 - End of construction and entering commissioning

  • H1 2026 - Full customer acceptance test completed

Wolfson Hospital Project Execution Timeline

bGen™ ZERO's power-to-heat TES will replace diesel boilers at Wolfson Hospital in Holon, Israel. The TES will be charged from grid electricity at off-peak hours to produce saturated steam and hot water around the clock 24/7/365. According to the Israeli Ministry of Finance's estimates, electric heat provided via Brenmiller's bGen™ ZERO has the potential to save Wolfson up to $1.3 million annually and reduce the hospital's local carbon footprint by 3,900 tons per year. Progress at Wolfson Hospital is on track, with early construction and component production already initiated. As of today, the expected project execution timeline for the Wolfson Hospital project is:

  • Q4 2025 - Civil works

  • Q3 2026 - Construction completion

  • Q4 2026 - Commissioning

  • H1 2027 - Full customer acceptance test completed

About bGen™

bGen™ ZERO is Brenmiller's TES system, which converts electricity into heat to power sustainable industrial processes at a price that is competitive with natural gas. The bGen™ ZERO charges by capturing low-cost electricity from renewables or the grid and stores it in crushed rocks. It then discharges steam, hot water, or hot air on demand according to customer requirements. The bGen™ ZERO also supports the development of utility-scale renewables by providing critical flexibility and grid-balancing capabilities. bGen™ ZERO was named among TIME's Best Inventions of 2023 in the Green Energy category and won Gold in the Energy Storage and Management category at the 2025 Edison Awards.
