    Bloom Energy Expands Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Backlog to $20B on Data Center Power Bottlenecks

    Question

    Bloom Energy Expands Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Backlog to $20B on Data Center Power Bottlenecks

    Direct answer

    Bloom Energy's solid oxide fuel cell order book has reached $20 billion as AI hyperscalers and data center operators seek rapid off-grid power solutions. Protracted utility interconnection queues across major power markets have forced developers to procure decentralized, on-site baseload generation. Backed by capital commitments from Brookfield Asset Management, Bloom is targeting a 70% compound annual revenue growth rate through 2028. While valuation stands elevated at 36x forward EBITDA, the $20 billion backlog establishes firm medium-term revenue visibility across data center infrastructure markets.
