Brenmiller Energy Unveils bGen™ TES System for Nuclear SMRs

Brenmiller Energy is set to launch a new version of its bGen™ Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system specifically designed for Nuclear Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). The bGen™ system, already operational with Enel in Italy, is poised to fill the flexibility gap of SMRs, which produce up to 300 MW(e) but lack dynamic grid adaptability. Its architecture supports passive heat absorption and load following, enhancing safety and efficiency.

Global interest in nuclear power as a clean energy source is rising, driven by U.S. government initiatives and international policy shifts. Brenmiller’s bGen™ aims to support this resurgence, with plans for rapid deployment due to its compatibility with nuclear systems.
