WENDELL, NC and DANBURY, CT, July 9, 2026 – Siemens will design and supply electrical balance of plant systems (EBOP) for FuelCell Energy fuel cell installations, supporting 100+ MW commercial energy projects for data centers, industrial facilities, utilities and other distributed generation customers.
The companies said that the collaboration aligns Siemens’ electrical design and supply work with FuelCell Energy’s fuel cell power generation technology. FuelCell Energy designs, manufactures, operates and services fuel cell power plants for mission-critical applications globally. The work spans engineering, integration and delivery of distributed energy systems that incorporate fuel cells, battery energy storage, microgrid controls and medium-voltage electrical equipment.
“The rapid growth of electrification and distributed energy is redefining how power must be delivered at scale,” said Kevin Brown, Head of Sustainability Solutions, electrification and automation, Siemens Smart Infrastructure USA. “By combining FuelCell Energy’s fuel cell technology with Siemens’ electrical infrastructure, service, and integration expertise, we can deliver scalable, on-site power solutions for energy-intensive applications – helping customers deploy power faster, scale with confidence, and advance their transition to lower-emission, more resilient energy systems.”
FuelCell Energy’s chief product and technology officer, Shankar Achanta, said, “This collaboration with Siemens enables us to deliver what the market has been asking for – bringing generation and electrical infrastructure together into a single, scalable solution. For customers, that means reliable, on-site power that is faster to deploy and built to scale, beginning with the data centers driving today’s demand.”
The agreement also covers pilot projects and development work for fuel cell systems and electrical infrastructure. The companies will assess medium-voltage DC power delivery and modular electrical systems. Siemens and FuelCell Energy said successful pilot results could move into full-scale commercial deployments, including the identification of target markets and deployments.
