Co-CEO Bob Brilon on Bimergen Energy's (NYSE: BESS) 23-Project Energy Arbitrage Pipeline
Jun. 14, 2026
Co-CEO Bob Brilon joins RedChip to discuss Bimergen Energy's (NYSE American: BESS) strategy for building, financing, and operating utility-scale and distributed battery energy storage systems across the fastest-growing power markets in the United States.
Bimergen develops battery farms — tractor-trailer-sized battery systems deployed across 10 to 30 acres — with a typical project capacity of 100 MW at an approximate cost of $125 million each. The company owns 23+ development-stage BESS projects totaling approximately 2 GW of planned capacity across ERCOT, PJM, WECC, and MISO markets, acquired in April 2024 and providing roughly a four-year runway of deal flow. Bimergen's capital-efficient model relies on 100% project-level debt financing, meaning equity capital is preserved while the portfolio scales. Federal investment tax credits of up to 50% of project CapEx can be monetized immediately upon commercial operation, reducing the effective cost of a $125 million project by up to $60 million and accelerating debt paydown.
With 23 projects on the books, an asset base carried at $22 million but representing an estimated $150 million in joint venture value, and a NYSE American listing supporting institutional visibility, Bimergen is transitioning from development-stage developer to emerging independent power producer.
