Energy Vault Inks 1.25 GW AI Data Center Power Deal, Its Largest Contract Ever
NRGV has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $1.18 on light trading volume (0.3× avg).
Summary
Energy Vault signed a strategic agreement to deploy 1.25 GW of integrated power infrastructure for hyperscaler AI data centers, its largest single contract to date. The deal combines battery storage, grid-forming inverters, AI control software, and Caterpillar gensets via a leading EPC partner into a repeatable off-grid platform. Initial deployments are slated for the next 4–12 months, bypassing utility interconnection delays, with the initial 1.25 GW backed by a hyperscaler customer contract for deployment in Texas. The company sees a revenue impact of $500M-$600M in the second half of 2026 and 2027. This follows the July 27 start of construction on the Snyder AI campus and the July 1 expansion of the convertible debenture facility to $150 million, signaling accelerating commercial traction in the AI infrastructure space. The agreement transforms Energy Vault from a storage technology provider into an integrated energy infrastructure platform, potentially opening a large, recurring revenue stream from hyperscaler demand.
