Shares of Bloom Energy (BE) and Nebius Group jumped on Thursday after the companies announced a long-term partnership aimed at addressing one of the biggest challenges facing artificial intelligence infrastructure expansion: access to reliable electricity.<\/p>\n

Bloom Energy shares climbed to a fresh 52-week high, rising more than 12% during the session, while Nebius Group stock gained over 15%. <\/p>\n

The rally extended gains from Wednesday after details of the agreement first emerged.<\/p>\n

Under the partnership, Bloom Energy will provide fuel-cell systems to power Nebius data centers through on-site electricity generation. <\/p>\n

The agreement could be worth up to $2.6 billion over its lifetime.<\/p>\n

Nebius, an AI cloud infrastructure provider, said Bloom\u2019s systems would help accelerate deployment of computing capacity by reducing reliance on local electrical grids and shortening timelines for powering new facilities.<\/p>\n

AI infrastructure drives demand for alternative power<\/h2>\n

Electricity availability has become one of the largest bottlenecks for AI data center expansion as companies race to deploy infrastructure capable of supporting increasingly demanding AI workloads.<\/p>\n

The agreement calls for Bloom Energy to deploy fuel-cell systems capable of delivering roughly 328 megawatts of installed capacity, with approximately 250 megawatts of guaranteed power capacity.<\/p>\n

The rollout is expected to occur in three phases, each operating under 10-year supply terms.<\/p>\n

Bloom\u2019s systems will operate \u201cbehind-the-meter,\u201d meaning the facilities will generate electricity on-site rather than relying directly on the broader electrical grid.<\/p>\n

The arrangement allows Nebius to bypass delays tied to new grid transmission construction while improving energy reliability for AI computing operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cPower remains a key constraint for AI infrastructure build-outs,\u201d said Andrey Korolenko, chief product and infrastructure officer at Nebius.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe chose Bloom because their fuel cells solve that directly: Clean power with virtually no pollutants is deployed onsite, on the timelines our customers need, with the availability AI workloads require.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nebius said it expects the systems to begin operating this year.<\/p>\n

Bloom Energy benefits from AI-driven expansion<\/h2>\n

The agreement adds to a growing list of AI-related partnerships for Bloom Energy, whose stock has surged more than 1,400% over the past year as investors increasingly focus on energy infrastructure providers tied to artificial intelligence growth.<\/p>\n

Bloom Energy\u2019s fuel-cell systems generate electricity without combustion and are increasingly being adopted by companies seeking alternatives to strained electrical grids.<\/p>\n

Since 2024, Bloom has expanded or secured agreements with AI-focused cloud infrastructure firms and energy companies, including CoreWeave, Oracle, and American Electric Power.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s improving outlook has also strengthened investor sentiment.<\/p>\n

After several years of losses, analysts expect Bloom Energy to generate net income of roughly $475 million in 2026. <\/p>\n

Wall Street forecasts earnings could exceed $1.2 billion in 2027 and rise further to more than $2.1 billion in 2028.<\/p>\n

Nebius expands AI footprint in Europe<\/h2>\n

Nebius has also continued expanding its position within the AI infrastructure market.<\/p>\n

The company recently secured a $2 billion investment from Nvidia and announced a $27 billion infrastructure agreement with Meta earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Nebius also recently unveiled plans to build what it described as Europe\u2019s largest AI data center in Finland. <\/p>\n

The facility is expected to have 310 megawatts of capacity and begin serving customers by 2027.<\/p>\n

The partnership with Bloom comes as European AI infrastructure developers face growing pressure from energy constraints, higher electricity prices, and delays in connecting new projects to power grids.<\/p>\n

Nebius said the agreement with Bloom could eventually expand globally as demand for AI compute infrastructure continues to accelerate.<\/p>\n
