Bloom Energy

Solid-oxide fuel cells for fast, on-site, grid-independent datacenter power

Bloom Energy makes solid-oxide fuel cells ('Energy Servers') that generate on-site electricity from natural gas or hydrogen, bypassing grid interconnection queues and delivering power in months rather than years. That speed made Bloom a hot AI-power play in 2025: it signed a major supply deal with Oracle to power data centers and has agreements with American Electric Power and others. Fuel cells offer fast, firm, behind-the-meter power, though gas-fed units still emit CO2.
