- Deployment at scale will help meet data center customers’
sharply increasing AI loads
- Bloom’s clean and reliable fuel cell solution will be
co-located at customer sites to rapidly enable AEP to meet the
energy and economic development goals of its customers and
stakeholders
Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE), the world leader in stationary fuel cell
power generation, announced that it has signed a supply agreement
with American Electric Power (AEP) for up to 1 gigawatt (GW) of its
products, the largest commercial procurement of fuel cells in the
world to date. As part of this agreement, AEP has placed an order
for 100 megawatts (MW) of fuel cells with further expansion orders
expected in 2025.
The agreement expands Bloom’s previous work with AEP to deploy
solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) in commercial and industrial
settings. Bloom Energy’s fuel cell solutions can be rapidly
deployed and offer very high availability – a combination of
attributes that are not offered by any other commercial solution.
Bloom fuel cell deployments have very high-power density, 100 MW
per acre. The initial installation of Bloom’s fuel cells will help
meet the immediate power of AI data centers.
“I am delighted that there is strong market recognition that the
Bloom Energy platform is the ideal choice for powering AI data
centers. We are thrilled to be working with AEP as they lead the
charge to bring innovative solutions to the transforming
electricity market,” said KR Sridhar, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of
Bloom Energy. “With our proven track record of more than 1.3 GW
deployed, and a fully functional factory that can deliver GWs of
products per year, we are ready and able to meet this rapid
electricity demand growth.”
The solution will provide power with 34% lower CO2 emissions
than today’s displaced marginal generation resources in PJM
Interconnection. When running on natural gas, the solution also
virtually eliminates SOx and NOx emissions. Bloom’s fuel cells can
run on 100% hydrogen or any blend thereof with natural gas,
providing flexibility to continue lowering its carbon footprint in
the future.
