**Management Commentary**

"Our business made significant progress in 2022. bGen installations around the globe are proof of concept that thermal energy storage can deliver affordable and reliable electric heat around the clock. In 2022, we have proven ourselves as a global leader in providing net-zero heat solutions for industrial and utility markets. With a robust pipeline and accelerating commercial momentum, we are optimistic about the year ahead," stated Avi Brenmiller, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Brenmiller Energy. "We believe our company's current market valuation does not reflect the true value of our assets in addressing what we estimate to be a $60 billion total addressable market.<sup>1</sup> While we are subjected to current challenging financial market conditions, we continue to build, perform, and deliver for our customers."

1 TAM is estimated by Brenmiller based on Grand View Research report Industrial Boilers Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report and McKinsey & Company Net Zero Heat report, November 2022: Long Duration Energy Storage

"As a leader in thermal energy storage, we are very proud of our 2022 achievements, including an industry first. For Enel, one of the largest energy companies in the world, we built and inaugurated the first-of-its-kind TES system at an active power plant. It is expected to finish the commissioning stage by the end of the first half of 2023. Through a signed agreement to purchase a 31.5 MWh bGen system, Philip Morris became our first major commercial sale, making Brenmiller one of only a few TES companies already fulfilling industrial-scale orders. We have delivered and responded to numerous requests for proposals, the majority of them in Europe due to high regional energy costs and critical need for energy security and independence. Additionally, we are working to create collaborations with other major companies focused on renewable energy which, once materialized, are expected to encompass revenue-driving projects, as well as possible investments and the build-out of clean energy production plants. We anticipate further expansion of our pipeline. As we expect commercial orders to increase in 2023, we plan to maintain our stable cost structure."

**Project Updates and Summary of Current Operations**

● **Enel:** Together with Enel, Brenmiller designed, manufactured, and installed a 24 MWh TES system at a combined cycle power plant in Italy. Enel has the option to add additional storage capacity at the site. This is the first thermal storage of its kind in the world to be integrated at an active power plant. Enel integrated the system at the power plant and validated its performance in the field, in challenging operating conditions, and on a large scale. Brenmiller's bGen unit for Enel is expected to be fully commissioned by the end of H1 2023. The system offers reduced power plant start-up times and greater speed in load variations. It can store excess heat, including energy produced from renewable sources in the form of heat, offering decarbonization services to Enel's industrial utility customers.

● **Philip Morris:** The Company signed a $9.2 million agreement with Philip Morris Romania for the purchase of a bGen TES system. The system will have a capacity of 31.5 MWh, with an option to expand the system to 52.5 MWh, and includes a biomass system and auxiliary equipment. Payments are made based on defined milestones in the agreement. Basic engineering of the system is complete and is moving to the detailed design phase. The next major milestone for this project is the receipt of a building permit, which is expected by the end of Q2 2023.

● **SUNY Purchase:** Brenmiller completed the installation of a 0.5 MWh thermal storage-based co-generation station with the New York Power Authority (NYPA) at SUNY Purchase College in New York. The system includes hybrid charging with both exhaust gas and electricity. The project is currently in the commissioning phase and final delivery is expected by the end of Q2 2023.

● **Fortlev:** Brenmiller designed, manufactured, and delivered a 1 MWh TES with Fortlev in Brazil. The system uses biomass instead of natural gas, allowing Fortlev to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

● **Green Enesys and Viridi RE:** Brenmiller signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Green Enesys Deutschland GmbH ("Green Enesys") and Viridi Energias Renovables Espana, S.L. ("Viridi RE"), two European based developers of green energy projects, to perform engineering studies for incorporating bGen TES for Green Enesys' and Viridi RE's proposed green hydrogen production facilities throughout Spain. Green Enesys and Viridi RE are currently developing three green hydrogen projects in Spain, with the goal of decarbonizing the European Union's industrial, power generation, and transportation sectors. The projects will have a combined capacity to produce over 100,000 tonnes of green methanol annually.

**Dimona Israel Production Facility**

Brenmiller's production facility in Dimona, Israel, currently under construction, will have the capacity to produce up to 4,000 MWh of bGen thermal storage modules annually. The facility, which is expected to reach full production capacity by the end of 2023, is financed through a non-dilutive €7.5 million credit facility with the European Investment Bank ("EIB"). The Company made its first draw down on the first of two tranches of the credit facility for €4.0 million in July 2022.

**Research, Development and Engineering Expenses, Net**

Research, development, and engineering expenses, net of government grants, were $4.62 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $3.70 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $282,000 in raw materials used in our research and development projects and a decrease of $991,000 in government grants received in the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase was offset by a decrease of $557,000 in consultants and subcontractors, for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.

![](ex99-1_001.jpg)

The Company expects research, development, and engineering expenses will materially increase as it continues to develop its storage units and bGen™ technology.

**About Brenmiller Energy Ltd.**

Brenmiller Energy delivers scalable thermal energy storage solutions and services that allow customers to cost-effectively decarbonize their operations. Its patented bGen thermal storage technology enables the use of renewable energy resources, as well as waste heat, to heat crushed rocks to very high temperatures. They can then store this heat for minutes, hours, or even days before using it for industrial and power generation processes. With bGen, organizations have a way to use electricity, biomass and waste heat to generate the clean steam, hot water and hot air they need to mold plastic, process food and beverages, produce paper, manufacture chemicals and pharmaceuticals or drive steam turbines without burning fossil fuels.
