You're right, the electrochemical reaction is exothermic and does produce heat (and electrical power). Generally this is what happens in lab SOFC cells I've heard and read about.

Unless I've missed an explicit statement that GLE included in their release, it's not apparent (to me) what they're relying on for heat energy to make the cell function. If they can make it function on it's own at 650C without supplemental heat from an external source, then why the delay in an announcement? Anyway, I've seen photos of the GLE cell in test conditions and it's always been inside a fired chamber (the ominous gas oven?)so maybe that will give some food for thought.
