Nebius and Bloom Energy have announced a long-term partnership to deploy Bloom’s fuel cell technology to support Nebius’s rapidly expanding AI cloud infrastructure footprint across the United States and EMEA. Bloom’s modular fuel cell systems will provide behind-the-meter electricity for Nebius’s AI compute facilities, helping address one of the industry’s biggest constraints: reliable and scalable power for AI workloads. The first project, expected to become operational this year, will include 328 MW of installed capacity and eliminate the need for gas turbines at the site. Bloom’s fuel cells generate electricity without combustion, offering low emissions, minimal water use, and faster deployment timelines due to reduced permitting requirements.

“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.AI workloads demand power infrastructure that matches the performance of the cloud platforms they run on,” said Aman Joshi, Chief Commercial Officer 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.”
