Bloom Energy signed a new contract for 21MW of SOFC power

In July 2014 Bloom Energy (BE) signed a new contract for delivery of 21MW of SOFC energy to 75 generating places. Contract was signed with an Exelon Corporation. When considering BE ES-5700 Energy Saver unit, it gives more than 100 Energy Savers! This is a huge amount of stacks and cells. Together with the entry to the Japananese market (in collaboration with Softbank) the position of BE is becoming stronger and stronger. This announcement quite clearly indicates that SOFCs are becoming a fully commercial technology. Scale of BE activities is orders of magnitude higher then its European competitors. Maybe Japan (MHI and Kyocera) will be able to compete on the scale basis.
