Data Center Power Suppliers Post Backlog and Guidance Updates Alongside a Fuel Cell Deal

, /PRNewswire/ -- Fly on Wall Street News Commentary - Shares of five companies that supply power, power equipment and grid construction for data centers all closed higher on Wednesday, Nov. 11, led by a fuel cell maker whose stock gained 13.0% on the day. Over the past two weeks, news from the same five has included a 900-megawatt onsite power agreement, quarterly results, updated guidance and backlog figures. Active Companies from around the markets with current developments this week include: Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE: BE ) , GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV ) , Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: CEG ) , Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: TLN ) , and Quanta Services, Inc. (NYSE: PWR ) .

More broadly, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in its Short-Term Energy Outlook released Nov. 10 that it estimates total electricity generation by the U.S. electric power sector will reach a record of almost 4,390 billion kilowatthours in 2026, up 2.7% from the previous record set last year. EIA said rising electricity generation is driven by growing demand from the commercial sector and hot temperatures this past summer, and it forecasts generation will grow at a slightly slower rate of 1.2% in 2027.
