Bloom Installation
1.6 MW – Fort Meade, MD
Objective
Department of Defense has a stated
mission to reduce energy costs, decrease
reliance on foreign oil, ensure energy
security, and achieve sustainability goals.
Headquarters
Washington, D.C.
Department of Defense
The DOD has deployed a 1.6 megawatt Bloom Energy installation at
the NSA Campus, located on Fort Meade, Maryland. Since 2013, The
Department of Defense has been gaining real world experience in
understanding how fuel cells can play an important role in the DOD
energy security strategy. The goal is to ensure access to reliable
supplies of energy and to deliver sufficient energy to meet mission
critical requirements. The fuel cells are designed to generate power
on-site, eliminating the need for critical electrical transmission from
the grid. It provides reliable power, eliminates the need for costly
backup infrastructure, and reduces carbon emissions at the facility.

Objective
Walmart seeks an energy solution that will
help them achieve their renewable
energy targets while contributing to lower
costs and providing the potential to supply
continuous power to stores, even during
critical grid outages.
"At Walmart, our goal is to be supplied by 100
percent renewable energy. To do this, we are
considering a number of emerging technologies,
including Bloom Energy, to ensure they work for our
business, help lower costs for our customers, and
reduce our impact on the environment. We hope to
use our scale to help bring these technologies to
market in a fast and cost effective way."
