“This new facility provides Energy Vault with the working capital resources to continue scaling our business and delivering on our growth projects without constraint,” said Michael Beer, Chief Financial Officer, Energy Vault. “Importantly, this cash is in addition to the preferred equity we previously announced in support of owning and operating energy assets, ensuring incremental liquidity for Energy Vault Holdings as we expand our third-party project pipeline.”

This funding agreement is separate from and in addition to the recently announced $300 million preferred equity investment with a leading infrastructure investor, which is pending final closure as previously announced. Upon final closing, Asset Vault will be formed as a fully consolidated subsidiary to house Energy Vault’s storage assets that it will own and operate. These assets will be supported by long-term offtake agreements that ensure project monetization and underpin Energy Vault's independent power producer (IPP) strategy, creating recurring revenue streams and high margin, contracted cash flows.

This growing portfolio of owned and operated energy storage projects include operational facilities in Texas and California, the recently acquired 1 GWh Stoney Creek project in Australia, and a robust pipeline of approximately 3GW of battery energy storage systems across the U.S., Europe, and Australia.
