UK energy firm Centrica is teaming up with Taiwan’s Delta Electronics to roll out solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) power systems in the European market.

Under the new partnership, Delta will provide on-site power generation systems based on solid oxide technology licensed from Ceres for data centre and industrial deployments where grid constraints are hampering delays.

Within the next year, the pair aim to establish a demonstration facility in the UK and target delivering “megawatt-scale” systems in the next three to five years.
