Bloom Energy has added Yahoo to its list of California technology giants using its fuel cells.
On Thursday, Yahoo announced that it has installed a 1-megawatt fuel cell system from Bloom Energy at its Sunnyvale headquarters in the Silicon Valley, also the home of Bloom.
Yahoo joins companies such as Adobe and Apple as Bloom customers.
The company has been successful in getting companies from California to install the fuel cell systems typically powered by natural gas, thanks in part to a generous amount of state incentives. The going has been tougher out east, although the company is making inroads.
However, the company reported a big deal with Exelon providing financing for 75 Bloom installations around the country. Bloom has a manufacturing site in Newark that came after a deal to feed power from a large battery of Bloom cells into the grid.
