Will be delivered within 90 days
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure plans to deploy Bloom Energy fuel cells at several data centers in the US.
Bloom said that it will deliver onsite power "for an entire data center within 90 days."
Oracle Cloud EVP Mahesh Thiagarajan said: “We continue to see strong global demand for OCI services across our entire data center portfolio including our large gigawatt AI data centers.
“Customers expect to run their AI workloads and new AI applications at peak performance. Bloom's fuel cell technology will join OCI’s extensive energy portfolio, further supporting our cutting-edge AI infrastructure with reliable, clean power that can be quickly deployed and easily scaled.”
Bloom said that it has deployed over 400MW to power data centers worldwide, but did not disclose how much it would deploy for Oracle.
“This significant collaboration provides Oracle with ultra-reliable, clean, and cost-efficient power that supports its growth strategy with the speed and certainty it needs," Bloom's chief commercial officer, Aman Joshi, said.
The company has signed deals with Equinix, American Electric Power (AEP), CoreWeave, and Quanta Computing, but in 2024, it lost a contract with Amazon Web Services.
Oracle plans to build a number of large data centers in the US to support its growing cloud portfolio, including a $30bn-a-year deal with OpenAI.
