American Electric Power (AEP) is set to invest approximately $4 billion in a 702-megawatt fuel-cell generation project near Cheyenne, Wyoming, under a 20-year power purchase agreement with Google. This project, which utilizes solid oxide fuel cells from Bloom Energy, aims for full operations by late 2028. AEP will control about 92% of the project through Cheyenne Fuel Cell LLC, marking a significant move to serve hyperscale customers beyond its traditional utility territory. The project also aims to incorporate carbon capture technology, although specific details remain undisclosed.
