Advancing Cost Competitive Thermal Energy Storage by Cutting on Site Costs Through Factory Built Design
TEL AVIV, IL / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2026 / Brenmiller Energy Ltd. (Nasdaq:BNRG) (the "Company", "Brenmiller" or "Brenmiller Energy"), a leading provider of thermal energy storage ("TES") solutions for industrial and utility applications, today announced the launch of bGen ONE, a new system design that delivers on the Company's previously disclosed Technology Roadmap 2030 and advances its aim to materially reduce the cost of industrial decarbonized heat.
In April 2025, Brenmiller outlined its roadmap to achieve significant performance gains at substantially lower cost across next generation thermal energy storage platforms, including the planned introduction of bGen ONE. Today's announcement reflects continued execution against that roadmap and is intended to support broader market adoption.
"This announcement is about execution," said Avi Brenmiller, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Brenmiller Energy. "bGen ONE demonstrates that we are delivering on our roadmap by reducing installed cost and enabling TES to compete in industrial heat applications where natural gas remains the default."
A New Design Built for Cost Reduction and Manufacturing Control
bGen ONE introduces a standardized, factory built architecture based on modular containerized units that are pre-fabricated and integrated at Brenmiller's manufacturing facility. Key assembly work including module integration, piping, insulation, electrical systems and controls is shifted from the field into a controlled manufacturing environment to reduce on site cost and execution risk. This design is based on the existing bGen platform, utilizing the same proven bCube architecture, ensuring continuity with current deployments while enabling a more efficient and repeatable delivery model.

This design approach is expected to:
• Reduce on site labor and construction scope by over 50%, materially lowering installed engineering, procurement, and construction ("EPC") costs;
• Shift approximately 25% of project scope traditionally executed by EPC contractors into Brenmiller's manufacturing operations, supporting the potential for improved margins and revenue capture;
• Increase control over quality, schedule, and execution through standardized manufacturing and repeatable delivery;
• Enable more cost competitive offers for industrial customers seeking alternatives to fossil boilers;
"We believe that launch of bGen ONE represents a shift from EPC heavy project delivery to a more product based execution model," added Avi Brenmiller.
Strategic Focus on Small and Mid-Scale Industrial Heat
bGen ONE is designed for small and mid scale industrial heat users, a segment that represents a significant portion of global industrial activity and energy consumption and spans a wide range of manufacturing sectors. Decarbonization in this segment has been constrained primarily by cost competitiveness and project complexity rather than technology availability. By reducing installed cost and simplifying delivery, bGen ONE targets what the Company believes is a large, underserved market that requires standardized, product-based solutions rather than bespoke engineered projects.
Positioned for Local Manufacturing and Funding Driven Markets
bGen ONE is designed to support localized manufacturing strategies, enabling Brenmiller to participate in regional clean energy funding frameworks in markets such as the United States and the EU, where incentives increasingly favor domestically manufactured industrial decarbonization technologies.
Continuing Development of the Next bGen Generation
In line with its Technology Roadmap 2030, Brenmiller continues development of future TES generations targeting higher operating temperatures and improved efficiency, with enhanced economics resulting from these advancements, further strengthening the role of thermal energy storage as a scalable solution for global industrial decarbonization.
