ROSH HA’AYIN,
Dear Shareholders,
I would like to begin by thanking you for your confidence in our Company over the years. I am very happy to report that Brenmiller Energy has reached a point where our vision, for a world where renewable energy is plentiful and heat has no carbon footprint, is becoming a reality.
As a result of our team’s focused commitment, industry-leading research and development activities, and collaborations across several countries, we have deployed and are developing a combined 73 MWh of our pioneering bGen™ TES systems worldwide. In our view, Brenmiller has made significant contributions to the advancement of the TES industry. After more than a decade in the space, we are amazed to see the market expand so rapidly, creating demand for our technology and growing our project pipeline in tune. Last month, we announced a robust potential 49 project pipeline in 13 countries, valued at approximately
I am especially thrilled to share that we have crystalized a new and innovative Heat as a Service (“HaaS”) business model that, we believe, will help mature our vision for TES technology and accelerate access to zero-emission heat for industrial power users. Through this approach, we will also have the ability to design, build, deploy, own, and operate our bGen™ thermal batteries at customer sites with the aim of taking advantage of local power market incentives to deliver customers the lowest possible cost for heat and generate multiple, high-margin recurring revenue streams for ourselves and our customers over the lifetime of a project. By maintaining ownership of our customer-sited technology, we are able to help mitigate considerable CapEx costs and risk for customers—which regularly deter operationally conservative industrial manufacturers from making the energy transition. We believe our HaaS solution is a win-win for our customers, facilitating access to reliable renewable energy at a fixed discounted rate for many years to come. We are already seeing increased demand for our TES technology through our HaaS offering and are now looking ahead and planning to meet our current and future customers’ growing needs for clean, reliable, and around-the-clock heat.
To meet the heightened demand for our bGen™ systems, we are joining forces with environmentally savvy companies in each of the jurisdictions in which we are active. To date, we have established several strategic relationships in
As previously reported, we are paying special attention to our flagship project at Tempo Beverages Ltd.’s (“Tempo”) beverage production facility in Netanya,
The Tempo bGen™ is one of our most significant projects at this time. Our project with Tempo is proof that the tides are changing. We are seeing more and more interest from some of the world’s largest corporations because our solutions are competitive with natural gas and less volatile than oil. We are proud to be leading innovation in the nascent TES industry, which at this point has merely a handful of commercial implementations—several of which are ours—to demonstrate the tremendous potential of this technology to mitigate hundreds of millions of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions per year.
Our gigafactory manufacturing capabilities, increased interest in our HaaS offering and global relationships will help us grow our footprint of installed TES systems worldwide. Toward this end, over the last two months, we have raised approximately
I will leave you with our recently updated investor deck, which can be found on our website here.
Now more than ever, I am confident in our ability to deliver for our shareholders, our customers, and the planet.
Sincerely,
Avi Brenmiller, CEO
