Oracle Expands Bloom Energy Deal to Up to 2.8 GW for AI Data Centers

The deal secures fast on-site power for AI data centers facing grid delays.

Overview

  • An expanded power agreement announced Monday between Oracle and Bloom Energy sets a path to 2.8 gigawatts of fuel‑cell capacity, with 1.2 GW already contracted and deployments underway across U.S. sites through 2027.
  • Bloom disclosed it issued Oracle a warrant on Thursday to buy up to 3.53 million Bloom shares at $113.28, a position now showing about a $316 million paper gain that expires October 9, 2026.
  • Investors reacted with sharp moves as Bloom shares jumped roughly 15% to more than 20% and Oracle rallied nearly 13% Monday before adding about 5% Tuesday in a two‑day surge that reset AI‑infrastructure sentiment.
  • Bloom’s solid‑oxide fuel cells generate power on site without waiting for a grid interconnection, and the company says it delivered a prior Oracle system in 55 days versus a 90‑day target.
  • Analysts highlighted improved revenue visibility but flagged execution risk, with Jefferies lifting its view as focus shifts to converting the 1.2 GW into shipments while Oracle funds its AI buildout with over $100 billion in debt.
