Bloom Energy and Brookfield have expanded their partnership to finance power projects for AI infrastructure, increasing their funding framework fivefold to $25 billion. This expansion aims to accelerate the global deployment of fuel cells, which provide cleaner energy for data centers.
Background
In October, Brookfield agreed to invest up to $5 billion in Bloom’s fuel cell technology to power data centers, as companies seek cleaner energy to meet the needs of the AI boom. Data center operators are increasingly turning to nuclear, renewables, and fuel cells to meet soaring power needs from AI and cloud computing, fueling billions in new infrastructure spending.
Bloom Energy has already deployed its fuel cell technology to data centers through partnerships with American Electric Power, Equinix, and Oracle. The expanded partnership is part of Brookfield’s dedicated AI Infrastructure Fund, which launched in November 2025 with a target to deploy $100 billion.
