Bloom's 2026 Data Center Power Report sees one-third of data centers running fully on-site power by 2030

Bloom Energy published its 2026 Data Center Power Report on January 20, 2026, based on a survey of 152 data center decision-makers taken in November 2025. The report expects roughly one-third of data centers to use 100% onsite power by 2030 and 45% of respondents to adopt direct-current distribution in new data centers by 2028. Bloom sells onsite fuel cell power, so its findings should be read with that in mind.

• 152 decision-makers surveyed in November 2025
• About one-third of data centers expected to use 100% onsite power by 2030
• 45% expect direct-current distribution in new data centers by 2028
• Over 50% of new campuses predicted to exceed 500 MW by 2035
