As part of our ongoing coverage of the thermal energy storage (TES) sector, we again turn our focus to Brenmiller Energy (NASDAQ: BNRG). Not because we’re repeating ourselves—but because the market still hasn’t caught up to the reality.
In a space dominated by concept-stage ventures and flashy presentations, Brenmiller stands alone as the only pure-play publicly traded TES provider delivering results now. Not projections. Not prototypes. Fully-deployed, sovereign-backed commercial systems already reshaping how industrial energy is stored, distributed, and decarbonized.
And if you think no one’s watching TES—think again.
Speculative capital has flooded into private companies like Rondo Energy, currently valued at over $500 million, despite having only a handful of commercial deployments. While they report further tests underway, returns for deep-pocketed backers remain a question mark.
Following Brenmillers Lead
That’s not a knock on Rondo. Their tech might prove useful. However, there is little public validation to point to yet. Even Brenmiller acknowledges it will take a consortium of TES players to meet what could become a trillion-dollar market over the next decade. Everyone should be rooting for success across the board.
But let’s not ignore the obvious. Brenmiller Energy is the brand delivering TES today.
What makes this especially compelling is that Brenmiller has real traction. Its upcoming Tempo Beverage milestone (expected this July), a €7 million commitment from the European Hydrogen Bank as part of the €25 million SolWinHy Cádiz project, and over $40 million in deployed infrastructure all point to a company firing on multiple operational cylinders.
Yet its market cap hovers around just $5 million. Shares are trading at roughly $0.50.
That valuation gap isn’t just striking—it’s absurd.
Why does it exist? Likely because institutional capital can’t build a meaningful stake in Brenmiller without taking control. With only around 12 million shares outstanding, there’s simply not enough float to create the kind of returns they need at scale. That leaves the opportunity wide open for retail investors. Based on the price-to-projects-to-pipeline ratio, Brenmiller stock may be one of the most glaring disconnects on the NASDAQ.
Earning The Spotlight
Getting attention hasn’t been easy. Rondo is the poster child for buzz—with bold vision major names like Bill Gates and other big hitters behind it. While Rondo's future may pan out, the present still belongs to Brenmiller.
Consider this: Brenmiller’s bGen™ system has already been validated across Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. It stores industrial-scale heat using crushed rocks and discharges it on demand—24/7/365—for steam, hot air, or process heat. Current clients include Tempo Beverage, ENEL, Entelio, Green Enesys, and Viridi. Plenty more are lined up.
In other words, this isn’t a “build it and they will come” story. Brenmiller built it. And customers came.
Their latest validation? The European Hydrogen Bank’s €25 million award to the SolWinHy Cádiz green methanol project in Spain. Of that, €7 million is earmarked specifically for Brenmiller’s bGen™ units. The project will run fully off-grid, powered by solar, wind, green hydrogen, and stabilized by Brenmiller’s storage.
From Pipeline to Inflection
Beyond Spain, Brenmiller has reported a commercial pipeline exceeding $500 million, roughly $200 million of that in Europe. These aren’t abstract conversations—they’re real deals, many in engineering phases. The Tempo Beverage deployment in Israel is a key near-term milestone. It's another high-profile proof point of TES delivering cost savings, emission reductions, and reliability in real-world industry. Most importantly, from an investor's perspective— a near-term value driver.
Now zoom out.
As reported by CNBC on May 27, Europe is reversing its resistance to nuclear energy. Countries like Germany, Denmark, and Spain are re-integrating nuclear into their energy mix. The U.S. is following suit. New executive orders from the Trump administration have fast-tracked small modular reactors (SMRs) and cleared red tape for nuclear infrastructure.
But nuclear has a known flaw—it doesn’t scale output with demand. These plants are built for baseload generation. That’s where TES becomes indispensable.
Brenmiller’s bGen™ fills this gap. It allows nuclear facilities to operate at full capacity, storing surplus energy as heat and then releasing it to meet peak demand or support industrial users. It’s the critical link between baseload generation and variable grid needs.
Even better—Brenmiller already has nuclear-adjacent experience through its partnership with Enel, Europe’s largest utility by customer count and a global renewables pioneer. That gives Brenmiller a first-mover advantage as the next wave of nuclear infrastructure takes off.
The Market’s Backwards Logic
So here we are. Rondo Energy—minimal revenues, few deployments, and a speculative roadmap—gets a $500 million+ valuation. Meanwhile, Brenmiller, with sovereign-funded projects, multi-continent operations, and verified industrial customers, is worth just $5 million?
Markets aren’t always rational in the short term. That’s why prices swing. However, in the long term, execution and fundamentals prevail. And when they do, it’s the early believers—not the latecomers—who benefit most.
Still Hiding in Plain Sight
This isn’t our first write-up on Brenmiller. And it won’t be our last. Because in a sector drowning in hype, one company is already delivering.
It works. We are simply working to level the playing field. Yes, retail investors can capitalize on TES and potentially reap a substantial return on their investment. Perhaps not the billions in return like Gates, et al., but still plenty to change a portfolio.
The infrastructure is real. Revenues are materializing. The pipeline is growing. And the catalysts—like Tempo and SolWinHy—are within sight. Most importantly, Brenmiller’s core tech solves one of the most urgent global energy challenges: storing and dispatching heat sustainably.
Yes, Brenmiller Energy is still flying under the radar. But that’s changing. Markets are waking up to the true value of a company that isn’t theorizing change—it’s driving it. If speculative favorites stumble or fail to meet expectations, Brenmiller could become the TES sector’s re-rated frontrunner overnight.
And right now, it’s still hiding in plain sight. Based on headlines, it won't much longer.
