Brenmiller Energy CEO Avi Brenmiller: This  opportunity is an important breakthrough for the company

Thermal storage company Brenmiller Energy (TASE: BRNG) is expanding its collaboration with Italian energy company Enel. Brenmiller Energy will implement technology for storing 60 megawatt-hours at a natural gas-fueled power plant in Italy. The advanced storage system project was adapted to the special requirements of a combined-cycle power plant.

The project will be carried out at one of Enel's combined-cycle power plants near Florence. If successful, the installation is expected to be expanded to 350 megawatt-hours. Enel operates power plants with an aggregate capacity of over 43 gigawatts. Brenmiller estimates installation of storage systems at combined-cycle plants of this kind to be worth NIS 30-60 million.

Brenmiller Energy founder and CEO Avi Brenmiller said, "The opportunity given to us to come into a major operational power plant is an important breakthrough for the company. Proven ability to store heat to improve and make more flexible a combined-cycle plant will open up a large, unique and new market for us. We are ready to exploit the new opportunities, and are sure that our technology is the right solution for providing efficient, smart power."
