A $5 billion strategic AI infrastructure partnership
Bloom Energy and Brookfield announced a $5 billion strategic partnership to implement AI infrastructure to meet the growing demands of energy across America. Brookfield Asset Management is a leading global alternative asset manager while Bloom Energy produces a fuel cell system with onsite electricity generation for 1,200 installations globally. This partnership is expected to redefine how AI factories operate through clean energy using Bloom Energy’s advanced fuel cell technology. At the end of the year in Europe, the first product of the partnership in AI infrastructure will be revealed.
According to researchers at Deloitte, the power demand from AI data centers in the United States is only going to expand in the near future. It this need will surpass 100 gigawatts by 2035. The fuel cell technology spearheaded by Bloom Energy is a possible solution to the growing pressure. Bloom Energy already has partnerships with American Electric Power (AEP), Equinix, and Oracle.
“AI infrastructure must be built like a factory—with purpose, speed, and scale,” said KR Sridhar, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Bloom Energy. “Unlike traditional factories, AI factories demand massive power, rapid deployment and real-time load responsiveness that legacy grids cannot support. The lean AI factory is achieved with power, infrastructure, and compute designed in sync from day one. That principle guides our collaboration with Brookfield to reimagine the data center of the future. Together, we are creating a new blueprint for powering AI at scale.”
