    正如我們上季度所討論的,我們產品組合的變化正在影響我們使用某些指標來管理業務的方式。

  • Specifically, we're reevaluating our use of key operating metrics including measures on a per kilowatt basis as our offerings evolve and expand the cost of our core energy server as a percentage of total product cost can vary significantly depending on the solution offered.

    具體來說,隨著我們的產品的發展和核心能源伺服器成本的擴大,我們正在重新評估關鍵營運指標的使用,包括以每千瓦為基礎的衡量標準,因為根據所提供的解決方案,佔產品總成本的百分比可能會大不相同。

  • For example, we package our energy servers on skids to accelerate installation time essential in a world where time to power is critical to many customers.

    例如,我們將能源伺服器包裝在滑軌上,以加快安裝時間,這對許多客戶來說供電時間至關重要。

  • This adds value to our solutions that is not accurately reflected in a per kilowatt measure.

    這為我們的解決方案增加了價值,而這一價值並未準確反映在每千瓦的衡量標準中。

  • Similarly engineering solutions to increase our power density such as stackable energy servers combined heat and power solutions, carbon capture solutions and our increasingly popular microgrid solutions all increase both value and cost in a way that is not necessarily correlated to the kilowatts or megawatts of a particular project.

    Similarly engineering solutions to increase our power density such as stackable energy servers combined heat and power solutions, carbon capture solutions and our increasingly popular microgrid solutions all increase both value and cost in a way that is not necessarily correlated to the kilowatts or megawatts of a particular專案.

  • Hey guys, thanks for taking the question and congrats on some strong commercial progress with those announcements tonight.

    大家好,感謝您提出問題,並祝賀今晚這些公告取得了一些強勁的商業進展。

  • I guess I want to, you know, maybe take a look at or ask a question about how you're thinking about the roll forward to 2025.

    我想,你知道,也許我想看看或問一個問題,看看你是如何看待推遲到 2025 年的。

  • I know you're not giving specific guidance on that, but just with the ITC schedule to phase down with the election.

    我知道您並沒有就此提供具體指導,而只是根據 ITC 時間表逐步減少選舉。

  • Now behind us, can you just give us any directional comment about how you're thinking about the setup for 2025.

    現在,您可以就您對 2025 年設定的看法向我們提供任何方向性的評論嗎?

  • Obviously, we're sitting in November now.

    顯然,我們現在正處於十一月。

  • So I assume you have some view of where your backlog stands.

    所以我假設您對積壓的情況有一定的了解。

  • So anything directionally that you can help us in terms of where we should be expecting revenue and maybe margins to trend as we look forward into 2025.

    因此,在我們展望 2025 年時,您可以在我們預期收入和利潤趨勢方面提供任何方向性的幫助。

  • And then my follow up question would just be around the data center opportunity, apologies if I missed this in the prepared remarks.

    然後我的後續問題將圍繞資料中心機會,如果我在準備好的評論中錯過了這一點,我深表歉意。

  • But can you give us an update in terms of where you stand?

    但您能為我們介紹一下您的最新立場嗎?

  • Obviously, you're making some good progress outside of data centers with your traditional commercial and industrial customer base as it relates to data centers?

    顯然,您在資料中心以外的傳統商業和工業客戶群中取得了一些與資料中心相關的良好進展?

  • I think entering the year you were talking about maybe announcing some rather large data centers by year end of 2024.

    我認為進入您所說的這一年,可能會在 2024 年底之前宣布一些相當大的資料中心。

  • What's your latest thinking there in terms of timeline and maybe what's some key milestones that we should be keeping a look for.

    您在時間表方面的最新想法是什麼,也許我們應該專注於一些關鍵的里程碑。

    安德魯?

  • Hello, you know, thank you so much for those two questions.

    您好,您知道,非常感謝您提出這兩個問題。

  • So on the first part, in terms of where we are seeing the commercial pipeline, what we're seeing, let me break that Up into two parts, right?

    因此,在第一部分中,就我們在哪裡看到商業管道而言,我們所看到的,讓我將其分為兩部分,對吧?

  • The first is our traditional business as you have seen. Over. The. Last 3 to 4 years. What we are seeing is a significant.Uptake in the US commercial and industrial market.Our courier volumes.Are.Stable.And. Strong but the growth we are clearly seeing in the UC. Which we think is really good because it's across sectors, it's across regions here in the US and certain new states are opening up for.Us.

    第一個是我們的傳統業務,正如您所看到的。超過。這。最近3到4年。我們看到的是美國商業和工業市場的顯著成長。強勁,但我們在加州大學看到了明顯的成長。我們認為這真的很好,因為它跨行業、跨美國地區,而且某些新州正在向美國開放。

  • All this put together, we believe that that.Core.Business.As we have called it over the.Years in the US is very strong, that will.Continue that.Way.

    所有這些加在一起,我們相信,核心業務,正如我們多年來所說的那樣,在美國非常強大,將會繼續下去。

  • As I see it in 20.25.We think that data centers.And the opportunity specifically with large A I data centers.Is going to.Happen.

    正如我在 20.25 所看到的。

  • We are in active negotiations with multiple partners.

    我們正在與多個合作夥伴進行積極談判。

  • We are happy with the progress. Would I be, would I want more urgency on the speed?

    我們對進展感到高興。我會,我會想要更迫切的速度嗎?

  • You bet you, you know, you bet you, I would.Want to see that.But these are complex deals.

    你打賭你,你知道,你打賭你,我會。

  • But they're all.Moving in the right direction.

    但他們都在朝著正確的方向前進。

  • So can I handicap.It for.A.Particular date.

    那麼我可以在特定日期限制它嗎?

  • On the calendar?

    日曆上?

  • No, but can I tell you, we expect to have some good news in that area soon based on where.Everything is trending?The answer is absolutely yes.Next question please.

    不,但我可以告訴你,我們預計很快就會在該領域收到一些好消息。

    一個問題,我真正喜歡這篇新聞稿的一點是,你在三個不同的市場收到了三個訂單。

  • And that's, I mean, there's a lot of focus on data centers but diversity also matters and going ahead.

    我的意思是,人們非常關注資料中心,但多樣性也很重要並繼續前進。

  • Should we think about the diversity as like these three areas where you'll be providing to utilities?

    我們是否應該像您將向公用事業提供服務的這三個領域一樣考慮多元化?

  • In the US maybe power internationally and then the data center.

    在美國,可能會為國際供電,然後是資料中心。

  • So should we expect that the three diverse markets you showed us in this press release, that trend will continue.

    因此,我們是否應該期望您在本新聞稿中向我們展示的三個不同的市場,這種趨勢將會持續下去。

  • It is the orders you have, but also the quality of the order book and diversity of orders, both in terms of sectors and.

    這是您擁有的訂單,也是訂單簿的品質和訂單的多樣性,無論是在行業還是在方面。

  • Geography is a huge deal as you think about building a company, not just for the next quarter, but for a decade to come and you.Know.Many decades to come.

    當你考慮建立一家公司時,地理位置是一件大事,不僅僅是為了下個季度,而是為了未來十年,你知道,未來幾十年。

  • I'm.Particularly.Thrilled about these three orders and where they are.So I think you broke it down nicely.

    我對這三個訂單及其所在位置感到特別興奮,所以我認為你很好地分解了它。

  • The shortage of power that we are all seeing.Not just.

    我們都看到了電力短缺。

  • In the US.But we start seeing that in other geographies too.

    在美國。

  • We have already started seeing them in places like.Dublin.And Ireland and Frankfurt and Germany and Singapore.You know, like places like that. Now, it's not just about generation.It's.About transmission.

    我們已經開始在都柏林、愛爾蘭、法蘭克福、德國和新加坡等地看到它們。現在,這不僅僅是關於一代,而是關於傳播。

  • Transmission in the US is going to be a bottleneck for a very long time to come.

    美國的傳輸將在未來很長一段時間內成為瓶頸。

  • So our asset becomes both a transmission asset and the end user as well. So to help the utility mitigate the long cycles, it's going to take them.To get transmission to where they need to supply the power.To their customer. A short circuit.To that would.Be to use our box in front of the.Meter.Not have to do transmission.Upgrades and.Supply large blocks of.Power to a customer. You are seeing examples of that with.SVP.And now with the latest announcement that we made in southern California.Expect to see.More of that. The quanta.On the other hand, is in places where the utility because of its regulation or becauseOf other priorities does not want to do that with us.

    因此,我們的資產既成為傳輸資產,也成為最終用戶。因此,為了幫助公用事業公司緩解長週期,他們需要將電力傳輸到他們需要供電的地方。短路。您正在看到高級副總裁的例子。另一方面,量子是在公用事業公司由於其監管或其他優先事項而不想與我們合作的地方。

  • The.Customer has the choice of coming to us and asking us to.Be behind the meter.And it's the same solution.

    客戶可以選擇來找我們並要求我們在儀表後面。

  • It's just who is going to deliver the power to whom, right, whether it's the.Utility providing the clean, reliable, always on power.To the.Customer.Using.Our boxes.Or the customer directly getting it from us.

    這只是誰要向誰提供電力,對吧,無論是向使用我們的盒子的客戶提供清潔、可靠、始終通電的公用事業,還是直接從我們這裡獲得電力的客戶。

  • Without the, we think they both will play in different places for different reasons.

    如果沒有,我們認為他們都會因為不同的原因在不同的地方踢球。

  • On top of that, I think you asked, you know, if you, so there you have those deals.

    最重要的是,我想你問過,你知道,如果你,那麼你就有了這些交易。

  • The third part is we think international for us going forward in the next few years is not.Just going to be Korea, we are making good strides in other parts, Europe is a good.

    第三部分是我們認為國際化對我們未來幾年的發展來說不是。

  • Example, other parts of Asia, we think Taiwan is a phenomenal opportunity going forward.

    例如,在亞洲其他地區,我們認為台灣是一個巨大的未來機會。

  • And so we think that these markets are going to open up.

    因此我們認為這些市場將會開放。

  • So what you're going to see.Is diversity in geography, diversity.In.Customers, you know.Like diversity in sectors, giving us a business that can be less and less.Prone to.Cycles in the market.

    所以你會看到的是地理上的多樣性,客戶的多樣性,你知道。

    因此,我們擴大了弗里蒙特的產能,明年我們的燃料電池產能將達到千兆瓦。

  • And the answer is very simple.

    答案很簡單。

  • We are not going to build capacity expecting they come.

    我們不會期望他們來就建立能力。

  • We.Think that this market is growing.Rapidly and.This is.Something we will do.

    我們認為這個市場正在快速成長,這是我們要做的事情。

  • In fact.Let me tell you that we have enough space there and in six.To nine month time frames, we can add an additional gigawatt to that gigawatt.As needed.

    事實上,讓我告訴你,我們在那裡有足夠的空間,在六到九個月的時間框架內,我們可以根據需要在該千兆瓦的基礎上再增加一千兆瓦。

  • And so not only are we do we have a.Time toPower play.

    因此,我們不僅有一個「Time to Power」遊戲。

  • We have a time to expansion play so we can expand more rapidly than most people can andBe able.To meet this voracious demand that's going to be out there in the marketplace.So we not only selected.The factory and the.Size but also how we scale to be able to scale extremely quickly as we see the demand go up and.

  • So to reiterate what Kr said, we will expand as we see demand, we believe that we are able to expand our capacity rapidly enough to meet demand.

    因此,重申一下 Kr 所說的,我們將根據需求進行擴張,我們相信我們能夠足夠快地擴大產能以滿足需求。

  • We'll spend our wisely.

  • You will note that as I said in my prepared remarks, our inventories went up this quarter and that's because we expect demand and we're doing that, we're making the right investments as we see the demand as we see the commercial activity increasing for, for and beyond.

    您會注意到,正如我在準備好的發言中所說,我們的庫存本季有所增加,這是因為我們預計會有需求,而且我們正在這樣做,我們正在做出正確的投資,因為我們看到需求,因為我們看到商業活動增加為了、為了、超越。

  • So look how we, how we recognize revenue.Depends on the contract.And you know, there are multiple contracts in some place in some cases and they are fairly small, it would be we can recognize revenue when we turn the power off. In other cases, it is when we should irrespective of what it is.

    那麼看看我們如何,我們如何確認收入。在其他情況下,無論是什麼情況,我們都應該這樣做。

  • Ultimately, it is in our interest.Because we are serving a customer.To turn their power on as quickly as possible.

    最終,這符合我們的利益。

  • So now let meExplain that process, independent.Of us having received direct.Revenue recognition.It's important for us.That we serve.Our customer right by turning that power on as.Quickly as possible.

    現在讓我解釋一下這個過程,獨立的。

  • So in most cases, by the time our servers free gas is already facilitated.The electrical interconnection is already.Facilitated.

    因此,在大多數情況下,當我們的伺服器自由氣體已經實現時。

  • Those permissions are there, the site is already.Prepared.

  • Good afternoon.

    午安.

  • I also want to ask a question on the 80 megawatt award something you mentioned in the press release about the project financing there.

    我還想問一個關於 80 兆瓦獎勵的問題,您在有關專案融資的新聞稿中提到過這一點。

  • And I was just kind of curious, is this something new that lenders are willing to, they're comfortable enough with the bloom technology to offer project financing on projects using the bloom servers or is it something new?

    我只是有點好奇,這是貸方願意的新事物嗎?

  • And how important do you think this is?

    您認為這有多重要?

  • K. R. Sridhar - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Founder

    K. R. Sridhar - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Founder

  • So that's a great question.

    這是一個很好的問題。

  • So let me answer it in the following way, Martin until rules changed and everything happened, the only process through which these fuel cells were getting deployed was an auction process. The.Auction.Process typically happened with the large electric companies that are owned by the Korean government.So it was very different.Now that.Auction processNow requires developers to come.And develop projects.On their own. And so.Financing becomes very.Important. But we had stated earlier that.The auctionProcess is just one mechanism through which we can sell.

    因此,讓我用以下方式回答這個問題,馬丁,直到規則改變並且一切都發生了,部署這些燃料電池的唯一過程是拍賣過程。拍賣過程通常發生在韓國政府擁有的大型電力公司中。所以,融資就變得非常、非常重要。但我們之前已經說過,拍賣過程只是我們出售的機制。

  • Our.Partners are.Capable.Of developing processes or opportunities outside the auction process.And not only to be able to develop this process outside but find a financier.Of the.Caliber.Of Korea Development.Bank because.This is your blue chip financier.

    我們的合作夥伴有能力在拍賣流程之外開發流程或機會。

  • So your question.Is very appropriate and the answer is yes, it is because of theperformance of bloom for a little over seven years that we have.Been there.

    所以你的問題是非常恰當的,答案是肯定的,正是因為七年多一點的綻放的表現,我們才一直在那裡。

  • And how comfortable they are getting.With our technology that a financier like that is coming and willing to.Backstop.A long term contract.It's a very goodSign.For us going.Forward.

    他們感到多麼舒適。

  • I see the F PM order is expected to be delivered by year end but any color on timing from the upsized quantum capacity in the 80 megawatt order with SK Enix, like should we think about those deliveries to be in 2025?

    我看到 F PM 訂單預計將在年底前交付,但與 SK Enix 簽訂的 80 兆瓦訂單中的量子容量擴大的時間表有什麼不同嗎?

  • So what is going on right now is not.Discussing whether we.Should do something or not do something or figuring out.The technology qualified, there's nobody in the data center market that will say that Bloom energy technology.Cannot properly support the data center.

  • That's a very good question. So the way to think about what we bring to the table is not just product.Generations, it is really about the attributes.Of the product.But the key attribute being.If we reduce the cost.We increase the affordability and we increase our competitiveness in.Markets.Where we are just sitting onThe edge of being competitive with the grid, right?

    這是一個非常好的問題。因此,思考我們帶來什麼的方式不僅僅是產品。與電網競爭的邊緣,對嗎?

  • So for both those.Reasons, affordability and expansion of market.As well as expansion of margin cost reduction.Is super important.It's been in our DNA.

    因此,出於這兩個原因,可承受性和市場擴張,以及利潤成本降低的擴張。

  • We do that every single year and you know, last year we had a double digit.This year, we will have a double digit cost reduction.And I absolutely expect nothing less than a double digit cost election next year and this will.Continue. So we look for the best.Ways to bring that.Cost reduction while we are adding.

    我們每年都會這樣做,你知道,去年我們的成本達到了兩位數。因此,我們尋找最好的方法來實現這一目標,同時在增加的同時降低成本。

  • Features.To our product. So exactly where we bring that cost production today.

    特點。這正是我們今天的成本生產的所在。

  • If you think about it, the islanded microgrid.Making our products suitable.For islanding. Let me explain this to.You because that's not a common word.

    如果您考慮一下,孤島微電網。讓我跟你解釋一下,因為這不是常用詞。

  • Everybody understands right.

    大家都理解的沒錯。

  • An islanded solution of ours means that.It is.Absolutely not connected to the grid and the unit supports the power in the building.

    我們的孤島解決方案意味著,它絕對不會連接到電網,並且該裝置支援建築物內的電力。

  • Then what do you need to do?

    那你需要做什麼?

  • The load in the.Building goes.Up.And down, it can be turned on, it can be turned off and in the morning tonight.Peak times.Load changes. People are not familiar with a.Solid oxide fuel.Cell being able to load follow.And we never.Sold load following before.

    大樓裡的負載有上有下,可以開,可以關,今晚早上尖峰時段,負載變化。人們不熟悉固態氧化物燃料。

  • Our new products allow us to be able to follow the load for a customer.And not depend on the grid as a flywheel to go up and down to take care of the.You know, net metering.Is not going.To work when the grid is not able to take care of its own needs properly.So bloom.Solution is so much superior than it can island.And not rely onThe grid.

    我們的新產品讓我們能夠跟隨客戶的負載。解決方案比它可以孤島優越得多。

  • It takes away the congestion from the grid, it takes.Away the dependence on the grid.So these are the places now we are more.Focused on.Making advancements and bringing.Costs down.Rather than just thinking about what is the next release.

    它消除了電網的擁堵,它消除了對電網的依賴。

  • Our next releases now are a combination of better fuel.Cells with better features.But I want you to understand we're doing all this.And still continuing to bring the cost down.More features lower cost.

    我們的下一個版本現在是更好的燃料、電池和更好的功能的組合。
