Brookfield funds – Brookfield has expanded its partnership with Bloom Energy, raising a funding framework for power projects supporting AI infrastructure from $5 billion to $25 billion. The companies say the leap—five times larger than the October 2025 commitment—matches fast-gr
On a calendar that’s quickly filling with AI infrastructure plans, Brookfield and Bloom Energy just moved the money—and the pace—up a level.
In a June 30. 2026 announcement from New York and San Jose. Calif.

Brookfield’s new commitment is described as a fivefold expansion since October 2025. and Bloom said the added funding is intended to help grow the fuel cell partnership globally.
The companies tied the expansion directly to demand: hyperscalers and AI infrastructure developers. they said. are seeking fast. reliable. and community-friendly power. Their message is that the timing matters because AI buildouts are moving quickly—and power has to arrive quickly enough to keep those sites from stalling.
Bloom’s executives framed the increased funding as evidence that the market is shifting toward onsite power solutions. “When we formed this partnership. we said it was the first phase of a much larger vision. ” said Aman Joshi. Chief Commercial Officer of Bloom Energy. “Today’s commitment reflects the momentum we are seeing in the market, as evidenced by recently announced large-scale deals. Bloom is uniquely positioned to address the urgent need for clean, reliable power to support the rapid growth of AI. We are pleased with our partnership with Brookfield and look forward to deepening our collaboration on large projects.”.
Brookfield’s side emphasized what this partnership is meant to deliver at scale. “Scaling our commitment with Bloom Energy reflects both the strength of this partnership and the conviction behind our broader AI infrastructure strategy. including integrated compute. ” said Sikander Rashid. Head of AI Infrastructure at Brookfield. “Scaling this partnership further strengthens Brookfield’s position as one of the leading global AI infrastructure investors. capable of delivering end-to-end solutions. from electrons to tokens. for some of the world’s most sophisticated customers.”.
That “end-to-end” framing is carried through the companies’ description of a broader model for AI factories. Bloom and Brookfield say the collaboration brings together Brookfield’s leadership in AI infrastructure development. access to capital. and operating scale with Bloom’s rapidly deployable onsite power platform. They also say their approach integrates power, compute, data center infrastructure, and capital from the outset.
The expanded partnership sits within Brookfield’s dedicated AI Infrastructure Fund. The fund launched in November 2025 with a target to deploy $100 billion. Brookfield’s strategy. as described in the release. focuses on investing in large AI factories. power solutions. compute infrastructure. and strategic capital partnerships. The firm also said it has already invested over $100 billion in digital infrastructure and clean power assets.
The push is not limited to investor ambition—it is also presented as a practical answer to how fast AI sites are being built. and what it means for nearby communities. Bloom’s description of its fuel cell systems centers on “ultra-reliable. clean. and highly scalable onsite electricity.” The company said its systems serve Fortune 500 customers around the world. including data centers. semiconductor manufacturing. large utilities. and other commercial and industrial sectors. plus mission-critical organizations in local communities such as hospitals. college campuses. and retailers.
Bloom said it is headquartered in Silicon Valley, employs more than 2,000 people worldwide, and manufactures its systems in the United States.
Brookfield’s broader footprint is presented as the backdrop for the scale of investment. The firm describes itself as a global investment firm with more than $1 trillion in assets under management headquartered in New York. owning and operating real assets and essential service businesses. It said it invests across infrastructure. renewable power and transition. private equity. real estate. and credit. and operates in over 30 countries.
The announcement is also framed with the usual caution around future plans. Bloom’s release includes forward-looking statements tied to the expanded partnership. the ability to support fast power for AI infrastructure growth. the demand for Bloom’s islanded power solutions. and the potential to advance the model for AI factories integrating power. compute. data center infrastructure. and capital.
