Bloom Energy Secures 20MW Utility Deal for Clean Power in Los Angeles
Key Ideas
- Secured a significant 20 MW utility-scale agreement in California with FPM Development.
- Implementation aims for rapid deployment by end of 2024, enhancing grid resilience in Southern California.
- Technology's CARB Distributed Generation certification and compatibility with natural gas, biogas, and hydrogen ensure operational flexibility.
Bloom Energy, in partnership with FPM Development, has secured a 20-megawatt agreement for solid oxide fuel cells in Los Angeles. By the end of 2024, the deployment of Bloom's Energy Server installations at repurposed commercial sites will address urgent power needs in Southern California. This strategic move aims to rapidly deploy power generation capacity and support growing electrical demand by strategically placing the installations. The technology offers rapid deployment, flexibility, reliability, and clean power generation with minimal emissions and operates on various fuels including natural gas, biogas, and hydrogen. This significant 20 MW utility-scale agreement marks a strategic expansion for Bloom Energy in California. The rapid deployment capability, multiple fuel compatibility, and CARB Distributed Generation certification position Bloom Energy strongly in utility-scale projects. This deal not only demonstrates the growing acceptance of fuel cell technology for grid stabilization but also sets a precedent for similar deployments in other capacity-constrained markets.
