Rhea-AI Summary

Brenmiller Energy (Nasdaq: BNRG) announced on November 3, 2025 that its bGen ZERO thermal energy storage (TES) deployed at SUNY Purchase won the POWER 2025 Commercial & Industrial Generation Award. The SUNY Purchase installation, developed with the New York Power Authority, replaced an aging district heating loop and captures turbine exhaust heat stored in crushed rock for immediate or later use.

The system meets nearly 100% of the Physical Education building's heating needs and about 50% of its electricity, while providing on‑demand heat dispatch and internal electric-to-heat capability to meet peak demand.

Positive

• Meets nearly 100% of building heating demand
• Provides about 50% of the building's electricity
• Project developed in collaboration with New York Power Authority

Negative

• None.

This latest recognition adds to recent honors for bGen ZERO following winning Gold earlier this year in the Energy Storage and Management category from the Edison Awards and being named one of TIME magazine's Best Inventions of 2023 in the Green Energy Category

bGen at SUNY Purchase

The SUNY Purchase project, developed in collaboration with the New York Power Authority (NYPA), replaced an aging district heating loop with Brenmiller's bGen TES system. According to an article published in POWER titled "Energy Storage Project Boosts Efficiency, Provides Savings, Reduces Emissions": the bGen ZERO effectively addresses the building's varied energy demands throughout the day, by capturing exhaust heat from the turbine when operating and storing it in crushed rocks for immediate or later use. The TES also uses internal heaters to convert electricity into heat to meet peak demand, and provides on-demand heat dispatch.
