Leadray and Bloom Energy partner for Taiwan facility power
Leadray Energy will act as the engineering, procurement and construction contractor for a new Bloom Energy fuel cell system in Taiwan.
Key points
- Leadray Energy takes on EPC and integration roles for the facility project.
- The installation utilises Bloom Energy solid oxide fuel cell technology.
- The initiative aims to enhance power reliability for Applied Optoelectronics manufacturing.
Project overview
Leadray Energy has announced its role as the engineering, procurement and construction contractor and system integrator for an upcoming power installation in Taiwan. According to Hydrogen Fuel News, the project involves setting up a solid oxide fuel cell system at the manufacturing facility of Xiangmao Optoelectronics, linked to Applied Optoelectronics.
Strengthening energy resilience
The installation relies on the modular Energy Server platform developed by Bloom Energy. The initiative is designed to improve electricity dependability and bolster energy resilience at the site. This enhanced power infrastructure supports the ongoing expansion of high-speed transceiver production for data centres.
Implementation strategy
By generating electricity directly on-site, the facility seeks to secure a continuous energy supply. Leadray Energy stated that the deployment aligns with local manufacturing capabilities to meet the operational demands of the industrial site.
