Fluence Energy's stock jumped more than 40% after the US energy storage company announced a collaboration with Siemens and Nvidia to design artificial intelligence data centers.

The partnership marks a significant win for Fluence as demand for AI infrastructure accelerates globally. The company will work with industrial conglomerate Siemens and chip giant Nvidia to develop standardized designs for large-scale AI data center facilities. The announcement comes as the AI data center market experiences explosive growth. STMicroelectronics nearly doubled its 2026 data center revenue forecast to $1 billion, citing surging demand for AI infrastructure. Meanwhile, Europe is pushing to build its own AI capacity. Spain plans to invest up to €800 million in a massive EU data center project, though the broader €20 billion European initiative faces delays and funding challenges that have strained partnerships. Fluence's deal positions the company to capture significant value from the infrastructure buildout required to support AI adoption. The collaboration with Siemens and Nvidia could establish the design standard for next-generation facilities.
