$Bloom Energy Corp(BE)$ is becoming increasingly interesting as AI data center expansion runs into a major bottleneck: physical power infrastructure. Off-grid microgrids can help bypass transmission and grid-connection constraints, giving Bloom a large addressable market as data center power demand continues to grow. That helps explain why Bloom’s backlog has surged to roughly $20B. But the bigger opportunity may be what happens after each system is deployed. Bloom attaches a service contract to 100% of its systems, with contracts typically running 10–20 years. That creates a long-duration recurring revenue stream on top of the initial equipment sale.
