Bloom Energy announced that the Wyoming Industrial Siting Council granted approval for a 1.8‑GW artificial‑intelligence data‑center campus in Cheyenne, Wyoming, on January 12, 2026. The approval allows the company to deploy 900 MW of its solid‑oxide fuel‑cell systems under a long‑term offtake agreement with BFC Power LLC, a subsidiary of Tallgrass Energy.
The Cheyenne AI Factory will house the largest single AI‑center in the United States, and the 900 MW of Bloom Energy power units will provide the majority of the site’s electricity, bypassing the need for a new grid connection. The project’s total value is estimated at roughly $3 billion, of which $2.65 billion is expected to flow directly to Bloom Energy as revenue from the fuel‑cell supply.
This win expands Bloom Energy’s service backlog, which stood at $9 billion at the end of 2024, and adds a high‑margin, long‑term contract that reinforces the company’s position as a preferred on‑site power provider for AI data‑center developers. The revenue from the project is expected to be recognized over the life of the agreement, providing a stable cash‑flow stream that supports the company’s growth plans.
The approval is strategically significant because it demonstrates Bloom Energy’s ability to deliver large‑scale, grid‑independent power solutions to the fastest‑growing segment of the data‑center market. AI workloads demand high‑density, reliable power, and the Wyoming project showcases the company’s technology as a viable alternative to traditional grid connections, which can be slow and costly to secure.
CEO K.R. Sridhar highlighted the project as a “once‑in‑a‑generation opportunity” that underscores Bloom Energy’s role in redefining power delivery for AI infrastructure. He noted that the company’s rapid deployment capability—illustrated by a recent 55‑day installation for Oracle—positions it to capture further AI‑center contracts.
Industry analysts have welcomed the approval, citing the project’s scale and the long‑term offtake agreement as evidence of Bloom Energy’s growing traction in the AI‑data‑center market. The win also signals confidence in the company’s fuel‑cell technology and its ability to scale to meet the sector’s power demands.
Bloom Energy’s approval of the 1.8‑GW Wyoming data‑center project marks a pivotal milestone in the company’s expansion strategy, reinforcing its leadership in on‑site power solutions for AI data centers and setting the stage for additional large‑scale deployments across the United States.
