Neocloud Nebius has signed a deal with US fuel cell company Bloom Energy to deploy its Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology to help power its AI infrastructure buildout in the US.

As part of the agreement, Bloom’s SOFCs will provide Nebius with behind-the-meter electricity for its full-stack AI cloud platform. The first project in the agreement will see Bloom deploy 328MW of capacity to an undisclosed site. The deployment is expected to be operational sometime this year.
“Power remains a key constraint for AI infrastructure build-outs,” said Andrey Korolenko, chief product and infrastructure officer at Nebius. “We 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. We expect to put this technology to work alongside our infrastructure as we continue to scale our capacity.”
“AI workloads demand power infrastructure that matches the performance of the cloud platforms they run on,” added Aman Joshi, CCO at Bloom. “Our partnership with AI cloud leader Nebius brings together Bloom’s clean fuel cell technology and AI-native infrastructure, and helps deliver a community-friendly, high-performance solution at scale.”
