Two energy companies are in focus as the race to power artificial intelligence intensifies. According to MarketWatch, Bloom Energy and Solaris Energy are positioned to benefit from a growing urgency among AI developers to secure reliable power for their data centres.

The argument is straightforward: AI development needs enormous amounts of electricity, and developers cannot afford to wait years for grid connections. Companies that can deliver power faster, or help data centres secure it sooner, stand to gain as the buildout accelerates.
Bloom Energy and Solaris Energy AI power crunch thesis
Bloom Energy is known for its on-site fuel cells, which are increasingly serving data centres that want power without waiting on traditional grid timelines. Solaris Energy, meanwhile, operates in energy infrastructure serving the same power-hungry customers. Both, MarketWatch argues, sit directly in the path of AI’s power demand.
That demand story has already made energy one of the most closely watched corners of the AI trade. Data centres need power that is available, scalable and reliable, and any bottleneck in supply becomes a bottleneck for AI growth itself. Investors tracking the sector are therefore watching which suppliers can actually deliver capacity, not just promise it.
As always with sector theses like this one, the outlook depends on how fast AI power demand keeps growing and whether grid and infrastructure constraints persist. MarketWatch’s case is that the urgency is real now, and that Bloom Energy and Solaris Energy are among the names best placed if that urgency continues.
