LS Electric wins $138.5m order to supply switchgear for Bloom Energy fuel cells at a Pennsylvania data centre
What changed
LS Electric won an order reported at $138.5m to supply switchgear for Bloom Energy fuel cells at a data centre in Pennsylvania. The scope covers 38kV switchgear and distribution transformers, with deliveries expected between April and July 2027.
Why it matters Editorial analysis
On-site fuel cell power still needs medium-voltage switchgear and transformers to connect into the facility, so electrical equipment becomes part of the critical path for behind-the-meter projects. The order is also a reminder that switchgear supply chains for data centres are increasingly global.
Questions a buyer should ask
- Which project and operator is the Pennsylvania site, and is it public?
- What protection and islanding scheme links the fuel cells, switchgear and the grid?
- What delivery lead times apply to 38kV switchgear for new orders today?
