(Reuters) -Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) said on Monday it will invest up to $5 billion in Bloom Energy’s fuel cell technology to power artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.
Shares of Bloom Energy (BE) were up 25% at $108.84 in premarket trading.
Brookfield has been investing heavily in Europe and earlier this year laid out plans to invest 20 billion euros ($23.15 billion) to develop AI projects in France, making it Europe’s largest AI infrastructure cluster.
The two companies said they are working on the design and delivery of AI factories globally, including a site in Europe that will be announced before the end of the year.
