Bloom Energy Corp. is making a push to bring its fuel-cell technology typically sold to big companies into households and businesses across the U.S. Northeast, starting with New York.
Bloom has started deploying its fuel cells into communities in the region after signing contracts with developers that totaled more than 40 megawatts of electricity -- enough to power 30,000 typical homes. Its first project, a 7.5-megawatt installation on New York’s Staten Island, has already been deployed.
