SAN JOSE, Calif., August 7 — Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE), a global leader in power solutions, and MiTAC Computing Technology Corp., a global leader in high-performance, energy-efficient server solutions and a subsidiary of MiTAC Holdings Corporation (TWSE:3706), today announced an expanded partnership, underscoring the growing role of onsite power in enabling the builders of AI infrastructure. As part of the expanded relationship, Bloom will deploy fuel cell systems for an islanded microgrid at MiTAC’s AI server manufacturing campus in Fremont, California. The project builds on an existing installation at MiTAC’s San Jose manufacturing facility, significantly increasing the company’s overall contracted onsite power capacity.
Commercial and industrial companies are beginning to face many of the same power shortage issues as AI data centers – particularly the advanced manufacturers and those in the broader AI supply chain. These organizations are turning to onsite power to bring new capacity online at AI speed because waiting for the grid is not an option. At MiTAC’s Fremont campus, the Bloom fuel cell microgrid will provide power needed to support current operations while providing flexibility to expand production as demand for AI infrastructure continues to grow.
“As the buildout of AI infrastructure accelerates, demand for power is growing at every layer of the ecosystem,” said Aman Joshi, Chief Commercial Officer at Bloom Energy. “We’re seeing that demand translate into rapid customer adoption. Today, Bloom serves nearly two dozen AI infrastructure customers with approximately 250 MW of capacity, from a running start of nearly zero in this segment just two years ago. Projects like MiTAC demonstrate that Bloom is the standard for onsite power, helping customers – from data centers to advanced manufacturers – move faster and build the infrastructure powering the AI economy.”
Bloom’s fuel cell technology provides clean, reliable onsite power that can be deployed quickly. Because fuel cells generate electricity through an electrochemical process rather than combustion, they are well suited for locations where permitting timelines, water availability and noise considerations can limit traditional power options.
Bloom Energy has already deployed hundreds of megawatts of its fuel cell technology to data centers, enabling some of the world’s most critical digital infrastructure such as our announced partnerships with American Electric Power (AEP), Brookfield, Equinix, Nebius, and Oracle.
