Bloom Energy Offers An Affordable, Onsite Primary Power Generation System
by Piyasa Mukhopadhyay Blog 21 November 2025
Across industries, energy reliability and sustainability are no longer just nice-to-haves—they’re business imperatives. Power outages, rising utility rates, and growing carbon reduction demands are forcing companies to rethink their relationship with the grid. For many, the solution is simple, but transformative: move power generation onsite.
That’s exactly what Bloom Energy makes possible. Its solid oxide fuel cell technology delivers clean, efficient electricity directly to where it’s needed—without combustion, compromise, and the unpredictability of the grid.
Power That’s Always On—and Always Efficient
Bloom Energy Servers convert fuel like natural gas, biogas, and hydrogen into electricity through an electrochemical reaction rather than combustion. That means no burning, no smoke, and no smog-forming pollutants. In fact, Bloom’s technology cuts NOx and SOx emissions by over 99% compared to the grid and has already reduced 941,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide globally.
Because Bloom systems operate at the highest electrical efficiency available for industrial power, businesses can produce more electricity using less fuel. And since the process is undertaken without combustion, there’s no need for water to operate it—helping to conserve billions of gallons annually.
A Proven Solution for Primary Power
Bloom’s Energy Servers aren’t just backup generators—they’re robust, primary power systems. Bloom’s platforms deliver consistent baseload energy, running 24/7 with zero maintenance downtime thanks to modular, fault-tolerant architecture.
The technology has already proven itself in some of the world’s most demanding environments. At Perenco’s Wytch Farm site in Dorset, England—the largest onshore oil field in Western Europe—Bloom recently commissioned a 600-kilowatt fuel cell system to support the site’s baseload power as part of the first phase. Despite the stringent environmental and safety regulations of a Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) designated site, Bloom delivered the project from signing to commissioning in under a year.
The success of Wytch Farm is more than an engineering milestone. It’s proof that cleaner, more efficient onsite power can meet industrial-scale demands safely and reliably.
Predictable Costs in An Unpredictable Energy Market
Electricity rates are volatile, often fluctuating with infrastructure costs and utility rate hikes. By generating power onsite, Bloom customers can protect themselves from price uncertainty.
Bloom’s primary power solutions allow for fixed, predictable payment schedules with the ability to secure long-term fuel pricing. Businesses can lock in their energy costs and enjoy savings over the life of their project—all while improving their sustainability profile.
For example, when a New York manufacturer faced voltage fluctuations that disrupted sensitive equipment, Bloom Servers stabilized their power quality and eliminated downtime. The success was so significant that their engineers are now demanding Bloom systems for all future facilities.
Energy Security You Can Count On
In today’s climate, resilience matters as much as cost and carbon reduction. Extreme weather events are increasingly threatening grid stability, and every minute of downtime can mean lost revenue and compromised operations.
Bloom’s AlwaysON™ microgrid platform provides a layer of energy security that utilities can’t match. With more than 160 microgrids deployed worldwide, Bloom’s systems have kept businesses running through hurricanes, earthquakes, winter storms, and typhoons—avoiding millions of dollars in outage-related losses.
Bloom Energy’s systems are powered by a proven natural gas network that remains online even during natural disasters, ensuring uninterrupted power when it matters most.
Powering the Path to Net Zero
Bloom Energy is driving the energy transition forward. Its adaptable platform not only delivers the most efficient use of today’s fuels, but it is also ready for tomorrow’s zero-carbon hydrogen.
For organizations committed to sustainability, reliability, and cost control, the path is clear: it’s time to quit the grid and power your operations with Bloom Energy: clean, predictable, and always on. That’s the Bloom difference.
