Bloom Energy, Quanta Computer enter partnership

The company states: “Bloom Energy announced a groundbreaking partnership with Quanta Computer Inc. , a premier Taiwanese electronics manufacturer. The partnership adds another significant proof-point in Bloom Energy’s capability to meet the ever-increasing time-to-power challenges of the burgeoning AI sector. The partnership arose from a critical challenge Quanta faced in powering its planned manufacturing expansion in Fremont, CA: the local utility company indicated it would take several years to provide the electricity required to fully power operations at the facility. With commitments to promptly deliver products to clients for expediting their AI infrastructure and services readiness, Quanta needed a clean and affordable solution to rapidly deliver reliable power. The power solution is a fully islanded microgrid, which will power Quanta Computer’s operations around the clock, 24/7 365 days a year. By leveraging Bloom Energy’s innovative and modular microgrid solution, Quanta is circumventing the lengthy delays and conditions associated with traditional utility constraints to maintain its competitive edge in the fast-paced Silicon Valley market.”
