80 MW SOFC project demonstrates Bloom’s ability to operate at large scale and the company’s transformative role in the worldwide energy transition

Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE), a world leader in solid oxide fuel cell generation (SOFC) and solid oxide fuel cell electrolyzer (SOEC) technologies, today announced a landmark project to deliver fuel cells to the largest single-site installation to date in history. The 80 MW project, developed in partnership with SK Eternix, will power two ecoparks in North Chungcheong Province, South Korea, providing reliable, sustainable energy for critical infrastructure and regional development. The project is expected to begin commercial operations in 2025.

As part of the financing agreement, Bloom Energy will supply its world-class SOFCs and lead equipment management and maintenance. The project finance, led by Korea Development Bank, marks the largest project financing for fuel cells in the history of South Korea.

“This groundbreaking 80 MW installation underscores the scalability and reliability of our SOFC technology for large and complex projects,” said KR Sridhar, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Bloom Energy. “Our collaboration with SK Eternix is a testament to our ability to build strong partnerships with global leaders and bring Bloom’s clean, resilient power solutions to international markets.”

“This successful financing agreement reaffirms the market’s trust and expectations for our renewable energy capabilities,” said Hae-zoong Kim, Chief Executive Officer of SK Eternix. “As a leading company in Korea’s renewable energy sector, we will continue to expand eco-friendly projects that support regional sustainability.”

SK Eternix, formally a division of SK D&D prior to its spin off as a separate public entity, is a longtime partner of Bloom Energy in South Korea and has been a distributor of Bloom’s energy solutions in South Korea since 2019. The new financing agreement builds on the success of the companies’ existing partnership and demonstrates the international market’s continued confidence in Bloom’s SOFC technology to power critical industries around the globe. Bloom Energy is a global leader in stationary fuel cell and power generation with 1.3 GW deployed worldwide.
