Manufacturing of the Company’s bGen™ components will be completed at Brenmiller’s gigafactory and are expected to be shipped on-site for assembly starting mid-January 2025. The Company remains on track to complete the TES system commissioning for Tempo in 2025.

“Our recent accomplishments underscore our dedication to maintaining rigorous project schedules and our ability to deliver on our promises to stakeholders,” said Avi Brenmiller, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Brenmiller Energy. “We are excited to move forward with system assembly at Tempo’s beverage processing facility and remain committed to achieving our ambitious timeline for commissioning in 2025.”

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.
