Bloom Energy’s Fremont Facility to Receive $75 Million in Federal Tax Credits for Clean Energy Expansion
Biden Administration’s Clean Energy Push Supports Bloom Energy’s Fremont Manufacturing Growth
Bloom Energy, a Fremont, California-based fuel-cell producer, is expected to obtain federal tax credits totaling up to $75 million. The Biden Administration’s effort to increase domestic production of clean energy and lower greenhouse gas emissions in industrial facilities includes this investment. According to CEO KR Sridhar, these monies will help Bloom’s Fremont facility make investments in operating efficiency and increase stack capacity.
The Fremont facility, operational since 2022, boasts a significant annual output of more than 1 gigawatt, equivalent to the capacity of adding a nuclear power plant each year. Despite this positive development, Bloom Energy’s shares experienced a decline in February. The company cited a forecast of lower-than-expected revenue for 2024 and the departure of its Chief Financial Officer Greg Cameron as contributing factors to the stock drop.
