WENDELL, N.C. and DANBURY, Conn., July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Siemens and FuelCell Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: FCEL) have announced a collaboration to accelerate the growth of fuel cell-based power generation. The agreement aligns electrical design and supply with fuel cell technologies to support deployment of distributed energy systems.
As part of the collaboration, formalized in a memorandum of understanding, Siemens will design and supply electrical balance of plant (EBOP) systems for fuel cell installations, supporting the rapid deployment of 100+ MW commercial projects.
Siemens' expertise in EBOP design and integration supports its position as a premier provider of electrical infrastructure for fuel cell-based power solutions. A leading turnkey fuel cell power producer, FuelCell Energy designs, manufactures, operates, and services fuel cell power plants for a range of mission-critical applications globally, including data centers, industrial facilities, utilities, and other distributed generation customers.
The work includes joint project development spanning engineering, integration, and delivery of distributed energy systems incorporating fuel cells, battery energy storage, microgrid controls, and medium-voltage electrical equipment. The companies will evaluate opportunities to scale and deploy solutions that improve timelines, reduce costs, and increase deployments.
"The rapid growth of electrification and distributed energy is redefining how power must be delivered at scale," said Kevin Brown, Head of Sustainability Solutions, Electrification and Automation, at Siemens Smart Infrastructure USA. "By combining FuelCell Energy's fuel cell technology with Siemens' electrical infrastructure, service, and integration expertise, we can deliver scalable, on-site power solutions for energy-intensive applications - helping customers deploy power faster, scale with confidence, and advance their transition to lower-emission, more resilient energy systems."
FuelCell Energy's Chief Product and Technology Officer, Shankar Achanta, said, "This collaboration with Siemens enables us to deliver what the market has been asking for-bringing generation and electrical infrastructure together into a single, scalable solution. For customers, that means reliable, on-site power that is faster to deploy and built to scale, beginning with the data centers driving today's demand."
Additional efforts include pilot projects and solution development initiatives to assess new applications for fuel cell systems and electrical infrastructure, including medium-voltage DC power delivery and modular electrical systems. The agreement defines a path to transition successful pilot outcomes into full-scale commercial deployments, including the identification of target markets and deployment approaches.
