SAN JOSE, Calif., September 18, 2026--Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) continues its season-long partnership with ESPN Radio's College Football Campus Tour this week in Louisville, Kentucky.

Located near the University of Louisville, Engine 16 / Truck 3 serves one of the city's busiest districts and responds to approximately 2,000 emergency calls each year.

"We're honored to support the Louisville Fire Foundation and recognize the firefighters and first responders who serve this community every day. At Bloom, we understand the importance of reliability, and we're proud to celebrate the people who keep their communities safe."

"This contribution will make a meaningful difference for our department, allowing us to provide resources to our members of the Louisville Fire Department and the community they serve. We're grateful to Bloom Energy for supporting the firefighters who work every day to keep our community safe and prepared." - Louisville Fire Foundation President, Brian Meurer
