Fluence Signs Master Supply Agreements with Two Hyperscale Data Centers
U.S. energy storage company Fluence has signed two master supply agreements (MSAs) with major hyperscale data center operators, marking a significant step in the company’s push into the rapidly growing data center energy market. The deals, announced during Fluence’s latest earnings call, position the firm as a qualified supplier for the two unnamed hyperscalers, with the first order expected in the third quarter of this year.
The agreements reflect a strategic focus on data centers as a critical offtaker for Fluence’s grid-scale battery storage technology. “These MSAs established Fluence as a qualified supplier, positioning us to build on expected near-term data center projects for both hyperscalers,” said Julian Jose Marquez, CEO of Fluence. The company provides an integrated stack of battery storage hardware and AI-driven software that optimizes revenue across more than 13.3 gigawatts of assets under management, with products ranging from utility-scale systems to advanced bidding software.
Fluence reported that its order pipeline from the data center market has grown 30 percent since the first quarter, now representing around 12 gigawatt-hours of contracted capacity. Marquez noted that the company expects “data center projects to make an increasing contribution to order intake during the fourth quarter of this year, building on the initial order we expect in the next few weeks.” The company has also developed a proprietary solution designed to handle extreme fluctuations in power usage that are common in large-scale data center operations.
The deals build on Fluence’s existing partnerships in the sector. In 2022, for example, Google selected Fluence to install a 2.75-megawatt battery system at its St. Ghislain, Belgium data center, replacing some diesel backup capacity. As hyperscale data centers face growing pressure to reduce emissions and manage volatile energy loads, Fluence’s technology is increasingly seen as a key enabler for integrating renewable energy and enhancing grid stability in these facilities.
