Dec 12, 2024 | Posted by Abdul-Rahman Oladimeji

Energy Vault has partnered with data center operator RSDC to deliver 2GW/20GWh of primary power to RSDC data centers through its battery energy storage system (BESS). Energy Vault will deploy its B-Nest BESS, a modular multi-story structure designed to house stackable lithium-ion BESS units at RSDC-operated data center sites.

“With the rapid increase in power demand from the rise of the data center sector, it is absolutely essential that renewable energy generation and storage become key points of focus to power the AI data center boom,” said Marco Terruzzin, chief commercial and product officer, Energy Vault.

“The B-Nest system’s high energy density and advanced safety design are game-changers for our operations, enabling us to accelerate firm grid power interconnections and onsite generation to meet the needs of our data center sites,” RackScale CEO Trent D’Ambrosio said.

Rackspace has 20 sites.
