Bloom Energy Expands Fremont Production Capacity; Targets Ameren Missouri
What happened
Bloom Energy purchased a 158,000-square-foot building in Fremont to expand its production capacity. This expansion aims to double the company's yearly production capacity at the Fremont plant from 1 GW to 2 GW by the end of 2026. Separately, Ameren Missouri released a 20-year energy plan that calls for 500 MW of natural-gas fuel cells by 2030.
