The Fort Worth Press - Brenmiller Energy Marks Construction Milestone for Wolfson Medical Center Clean Heat Project

The project, developed by Brenmiller Energy in collaboration with Baran Energy, a subsidiary of the Baran Group Ltd. ("Baran"), represents a major step toward reducing emissions from hospital operations while lowering long term energy costs. Total investment in the project is approximately $4 million.

The TES system will replace existing fossil fuel powered steam boilers with an electricity-based TES system, supplying the hospital with clean steam for its ongoing medical and operational needs. The initiative is anticipated to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 3,900 tons per year, equivalent to the annual emissions of roughly 1,000 passenger vehicles, while generating annual energy cost savings of approximately $1.5 million.

Construction of the TES system is anticipated to be completed during 2026, with commercial operations anticipated in early 2027. The project was endorsed by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Energy.

"The project is anticipated to significantly reduce, and over time potentially eliminate, fuel consumption at Wolfson hospital, lowering emissions while delivering meaningful energy savings," said Gadi Davidovich, Chief Engineer of Wolfson Medical Center.

"We are providing Wolfson with a clean and reliable thermal energy source at a lower cost than existing systems, demonstrating that TES can operate at meaningful scale and deliver measurable value," said Avi Brenmiller, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Brenmiller Energy.

The ceremony was attended by hospital leadership, representatives of the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Finance, the Israel Innovation Authority, Brenmiller Energy, Baran Energy, and additional invited guests.

About the Wolfson Medical Center Thermal Energy Storage Project

The project consists of a 12 MWh bGen^™ TES system integrated into Wolfson's existing steam infrastructure, charging from the electric grid during off peak hours and delivers process heat and steam on demand, 24/7. The system is expected to generate approximately $1.5 million in annual energy cost savings and reduce carbon emissions by around 3,900 tons of CO₂ equivalent per year, reflecting a reduction of over 90% in local GHG emissions.

The project is delivered under an Energy-as-a-Service (ESCO) model.
