What happened

Bloom Energy's shares were higher before the opening bell after it unveiled a partnership with Europe's Nebius, an AI cloud provider seeking to overcome power constraints in the AI infrastructure buildout.

Why it matters

Nebius said Wednesday that it would deploy Bloom's fuel-cell technology to generate electricity faster and more quickly at its data centers in Europe.

Common ground

Nebius will pay Bloom up to $2.6 billion in service fees during the life of the agreement, subject to conditions, the company said in a SEC filing.
