Energy Vault Breaks Ground on 8MW AI Data Center Campus in Texas, Targets Q1 2027 Operation
NRGV has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $1.02.
Summary
Energy Vault has started construction on its Snyder AI campus in Texas, marking tangible progress on its AI infrastructure pivot. The initial phase delivers 8MW of powered shell capacity for Crusoe Cloud, with expansion potential to 25MW. The company is purchasing ten Crusoe Spark modular data centers and leasing them back, creating a recurring revenue stream. Commercial operation is targeted for Q1 2027. This follows the commercial agreement with Crusoe announced earlier this year and the recent CFO appointment from BlackRock, signaling execution on the new strategy. The project addresses critical AI deployment bottlenecks—land, power, and speed—and could establish a repeatable model. With a market cap around $522M and a history of cash burn, successful execution here is crucial for the company's transition to an IPP model.
