The flagship product, the Bloom Energy Server, is a modular unit capable of delivering 100 kilowatts (kW) of power, designed to be scalable by stacking multiple units to meet larger energy demands, such as powering 100 average U.S. homes (source: bloomenergy.com).

Notable projects include installations at eBay Inc. headquarters, which were unveiled in 2010 with prominent figures such as California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and General Colin Powell in attendance (source: bloomenergy.com). The company has secured significant contracts, including a partnership with AEP Ohio for up to 1 gigawatt (GW) of SOFCs for data centers, starting with an initial order of 100 megawatts (MW) and plans for expansion by 2025 (source: cbinsights.com).

Pinkus in 2024, and Jim Hagemann Snabe in 2025, enhancing governance and strategic oversight (source: investing.com).
