Funding To Advance Large-scale Clean Energy Data Center Projects With Zero Upfront Payment
The world leader in stationary fuel cell power generation, Bloom Energy, has announced a new project funding partnership with infrastructure capital leaders HPS Investment Partners (HPS) and Industrial Development Funding (IDF). This strategic collaboration will support over $125 million in initial funding to deploy 19 MW of Bloom Energy Servers®, including advanced on-site microgrid solutions.
These alternative energy systems, offered through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), provide mission-critical businesses and beyond with clean, reliable power without upfront costs. The funding will enable customers in the data centers and industrial manufacturing sectors to access Bloom’s solid oxide fuel cell technology to meet growing energy demands.
