Bloom Energy addresses the most urgent data center power bottleneck, time-to-power, by bringing new data centers online faster with on-site, behind-the-meter fuel cells; it is a top pick for 2026. Its expanded Oracle agreement covers up to 2.8GW of fuel cells for Oracle's data centers, with 1.2GW initially contracted. Per Bloom, the deal shows it can deliver the fast, load-following power AI workloads need, which traditional grids were not designed to provide. x.comÂ
