Energy Vault Holdings, Inc., a global leader in sustainable energy infrastructure, will supply battery energy storage systems (BESS), grid-forming power conversion systems and AI infrastructure controlsoftware.
This will support an initial deployment totaling 1.25 gigawatts of integrated power infrastructure for hyperscaler AI data centers. It establishes a repeatable AI power infrastructure platform that combines dispatchable power generation, intelligent battery energy storage, grid-forming inverter systems, advanced AI infrastructure controls software and turnkey EPC and plant integration into a single integrated solution designed specifically for hyperscaler AI data centers and high-performance computing campuses.
The companies will jointly deploy fully integrated, off-grid power systems capable of bringing AI compute capacity online significantly faster than traditional utility interconnection schedules while providing the reliability, resiliency and operational flexibility required by next-generation AI workloads.
As hyperscaler AI infrastructure continues to expand globally, developers increasingly require complete power infrastructure platforms rather than individual technologies.
AI computing loads can change rapidly as GPU clusters ramp up and down, creating demanding transient, voltage, frequency and power-quality requirements that generation assets alone may not efficiently manage.
Energy Vault’s AI-Powered Infrastructure
Robert Piconi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Energy Vault, says artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing how critical power infrastructure is designed, deployed and operated.
“Customers are no longer procuring individual technologies – they require integrated power infrastructure capable of delivering reliable, always-on electricity at unprecedented speed and scale.
“With this agreement we have created a highly differentiated platform that combines industry-leading power generation, intelligent energy storage and advanced power plant software into a single integrated solution purpose-built for AI infrastructure.”
Piconi added that this milestone agreement is another important step in Energy Vault’s strategic evolution from an energy storage technology pioneer into an integrated energy infrastructure provider.
“More importantly, it establishes a repeatable commercial platform that we believe can support substantial future expansion as hyperscaler AI infrastructure investments continue to accelerate globally.”
Moreover, Energy Vault’s BESS, grid-forming technology and software platform are central to this solution. By integrating those systems into our modular plant design, the company can bring large blocks of dependable power online quickly while maintaining the performance, scalability and flexibility that hyperscale campuses require.
Energy Vault’s AI infrastructure controls software functions as a mission-critical operating system for the site’s power infrastructure, dynamically balancing power flows, maintaining voltage and frequency stability, minimizing generator cycling, improving fuel efficiency and ensuring the rapid response required by highly dynamic AI compute environments.
