Bloom Energy has reached a power capacity agreement with Intel Corporation that will result in Silicon Valley’s largest fuel cell-powered computing data center, according to a news release.
The agreement calls for the installation of additional megawatts of Bloom’s fuel cell-based Energy Server at Intel’s existing data center in Santa Clara, California. The additional capacity expands an existing Bloom fuel cell installation already deployed at the location since 2014.
“The resulting installation will be the single largest fuel cell-powered high-performance computing data center in Silicon Valley,” the release states. “Bloom’s offerings can be deployed as Grid Parallel in conjunction with utility power to meet dual source energy needs of a Data Center or as Grid Independent by completely avoiding transmission infrastructure.”
