San Jose, CALIFORNIA - The new manufacturing plant is expected to produce gigawatts of clean power and green hydrogen.

Bloom Energy has announced the grand opening of its multi-gigawatt Fremont, California manufacturing plant.

According to Bloom Energy, the newly operational, 164,000 square-foot facility, representing a $200 million investment, follows the recent expansion of the company's global headquarters in San Jose as well as the opening of new research and technical center and a global hydrogen development facility in Fremont. Bloom's expanded footprint, now more than 524,000 square feet, is expected to create more than 400 clean energy jobs by year-end, bringing Bloom's California headcount to nearly 2,000.

California Governor Gavin Newsom and Fremont Mayor Lily Mei, along with several other state and local officials, attended the grand opening to celebrate the vital role that clean-energy companies play in supporting local communities with the impacts of climate change. 

 "The spirit of the Valley is to manifest the future, and your company is right at the front end of this revolution," said Governor Newsom.

"Thank you to Bloom Energy for building its advanced manufacturing facility right here in Fremont, creating hundreds of new jobs and career opportunities that can help support families in our high-cost region. Creating smart high-paying jobs is exactly what our state needs right now," said Fremont Mayor Lily Mei.
