Bloom Energy and Brookfield announced on Tuesday that they have expanded their financing partnership for power projects targeting artificial intelligence infrastructure, raising the financing framework from a previously discussed level to $25 billion. The increase represents a fivefold expansion of the financing capacity to accelerate the global rollout of Bloom Energy’s fuel cell technology.
Brookfield had originally agreed in October to invest up to $5 billion in Bloom’s fuel cell solutions intended for use in data centers. That initial commitment was aimed at providing cleaner power options as data center operators seek alternatives to meet the heavy electricity needs driven by AI and cloud computing.
Industry participants have been moving toward a range of power sources - including nuclear, renewables and fuel cells - to cope with soaring energy requirements associated with large-scale AI workloads and cloud services. That shift is driving significant infrastructure spending focused on new ways to supply stable, low-emission power to compute-heavy facilities.
Bloom Energy has already installed its fuel cell systems in data center settings through partnerships with American Electric Power, Equinix and Oracle. The expanded Brookfield financing sits within Brookfield’s AI Infrastructure Fund, which the company launched in November 2025 with a stated target to deploy $100 billion, according to the announcement.
The public market response included notable moves in both companies’ stock performance. Bloom Energy was shown with a gain of 10.07% and Brookfield with a 1.07% rise in the figures provided. Additional intraday values displayed for Bloom Energy included a close at 302.70 with an increase of 27.69 (10.07%), and an after-hours price of 338.50, up 35.80 (11.83%).
The expanded financing framework is presented as a mechanism to accelerate deployment of Bloom’s fuel cells across data centers worldwide, aligning capital from Brookfield’s targeted AI infrastructure vehicle with technology that operators are increasingly considering to meet growing power demands.
Contextual note - The companies framed the expanded partnership as part of Brookfield’s wider AI infrastructure effort and cited the growing demand for power driven by AI and cloud computing as a key driver of infrastructure investment.
