Bloom Energy makes solid oxide fuel cell systems that generate electricity on site, typically from natural gas, for data centers, factories, utilities and other large users.
Onsite fuel cells let AI data centers get power without waiting years for a grid connection; Bloom says AI data centers drove significant growth in 2025 and it has announced large deployments with Oracle and utility AEP.
Customers and utilities pay for fuel cell systems, installation and ongoing service, sometimes through financed power arrangements.
