Pew Research reports that in the US between now and 2030, 1,500 new data centers will come online.  Firm utility interconnection power is now the number one barrier to bringing this capacity online. Energy Storage as a Service is Energy Vault's answer: a utility-scale battery system installed behind the meter at the data center, fully financed and operated by Energy Vault with zero upfront capital.  Orchestrating it all: VaultOS, our hardware-agnostic energy management system. The data center pays a simple monthly tolling fee based on system availability.  In exchange, they get a faster path to power and a firm, optimized load profile the utility can actually plan around. It is a power plant, not a project. Built to run for the next 15 years.

There are currently more than 1,500 new data center facilities coming online in the US by 2030. Every one of them faces the same challenge: securing reliable, scalable power without a multi-year wait for grid capacity. Energy Storage as a Service gives data center operators access to power infrastructure that accelerates Interconnection timing, without the upfront capital or operational complexity. #DataCenter #AIInfrastructure #EnergyStorage #ESaaS #TimeToPower #EnergyVault
