“During our Investor Day, we highlighted the approximately $2 trillion in combined, cumulative total addressable market opportunities through 2030, which we believe may be served by our commercially available solutions and solutions that are actively under development by the company,” said FuelCell Energy CEO Jason Few in a statement. “We also shared our aspiration to have a substantial impact on addressing climate change and deliver revenue of over $300 million by the end of fiscal year 2025 and revenue of over $1 billion by the end of fiscal year 2030. In order to reach these goals, we are, among other things, investing in commercializing our technologies and adding to our capabilities, both in terms of manufacturing capacity and talent.”
