Sharks Ice inks deal on Bloom Energy fuel cell

Sharks Ice at San Jose wants to cut its $65,000 monthly electricity bill with a $4.6 million “energy box” from Bloom Energy Corp.

San Jose Arena Management, which manages the skating facility, recently signed a purchase contract for a fuel-cell based Energy Saver system.

The energy box is expected to be installed at the city-owned complex, located on South 10th Street at East Alma Avenue, by next January, said Don Gralnek, general counsel of the management company.

San Jose Arena Management is a related company of Silicon Valley Sports & Entertainment, which owns the San Jose Sharks.
