Bloom Energy publishes investor deck highlighting onsite solid oxide fuel cell power for data centers
BE•Investor deck outlines modular onsite power strategy
Bloom Energy outlined its strategy to scale modular onsite power for large-load customers, led by data centers facing grid interconnection bottlenecks.
- Standard 26 MW “power blocks” form larger plants; 3.25 MW units are targeted for installation and commissioning every 1-2 days.
- Survey data in the deck showed 61% of data center developers would deploy onsite generation as the primary response to grid constraints.
- Utility survey results cited expectations that onsite power could reach 34% of large-load demand by 2030, rising to 41% by 2035.
Solid oxide fuel cells positioned as lower-emission onsite generation
The company positioned its solid oxide fuel cells as non-combustion natural gas generation with low local pollutants, limited water use, and compatibility with carbon capture.
