Energy Vault Closes $18 Million Project Financing for 57 MW/114 MWh Cross Trails BESS Serving the Texas ERCOT Market
The 57 MW/114 MWh BESS was brought to commercial operation in June 2025, and is currently providing energy and ancillary services to meaningfully support renewable energy production and improve grid resiliency in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) region. Energy Vault notably achieved mechanical completion of the Cross Trails BESS ahead of schedule, successfully meeting all construction milestones through effective project management and close collaboration among engineering, procurement, and construction teams. The project is supported by a 10-year offtake agreement with Gridmatic, which marked the first physically settled revenue floor contract to be signed for a BESS in ERCOT.
The BESS leverages Energy Vault's fully integrated solution stack of hardware, software, and service offerings. Cross Trails also serves as the first deployment of Energy Vault's second-generation B-VAULT™ AC product, enabling Energy Vault to deliver the system quickly and at low cost while also providing higher levels of system availability in the ERCOT region. The system is equipped with Energy Vault's VaultOS™ Energy Management System to control, manage and optimize the BESS operations.
"The successful financing of our Cross Trails BESS project represents another significant milestone in executing our 'Own & Operate' strategy, delivering strong returns that will generate predictable, high margin and recurring revenue streams," said Robert Piconi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Energy Vault. "Following our recent Calistoga Resiliency Center project financing and the acquisition of the 125 MW/1 GWh Stoney Creek BESS in Australia, this latest financing close demonstrates our ability to attract premium financing partners while building a diversified portfolio of attractive energy storage assets across the globe. With an attractive mid-teen levered IRR and a 10-year offtake agreement in place, the Cross Trails BESS is another example of our commitment to creating long-term shareholder value through strategic energy storage asset ownership and operation in key growth markets."
Today's announcement marks the second close of project financing for Energy Vault projects, coming on the heels of the successful close of $28 million in financing for the Company's Calistoga Resiliency Center project in California. The financing also follows Energy Vault's announced acquisition of the 125 MW/1,000 MWh Stoney Creek BESS in the Australian market, being developed in alignment with the Company's global 'Own & Operate' strategy. Together, the advancement of these projects follows through on initiatives first presented during Energy Vault's May 2024 Investor and Analyst Day, demonstrating the Company's ability to execute on its strategic vision while maximizing capital efficiency in its 'Own & Operate' strategy.
Energy Vault continues to pursue a robust pipeline of projects in development under the Company's 'Own & Operate' strategy and long-term vision for generating predictable, recurring and high margin tolling revenue streams with the goal of delivering sustainable, long-term value to shareholders. This milestone reflects significant proactive interest from strategic partners and investors given attractive IRR economics, positioning Energy Vault for continued growth in the rapidly evolving energy storage asset infrastructure market.

Investors in Civeo (NYSE:CVEO) have seen stellar returns of 166% over the past five years
The worst result, after buying shares in a company (assuming no leverage), would be if you lose all the money you put in. But on the bright side, you can make far more than 100% on a really good stock. One great example is Civeo Corporation (NYSE:CVEO) which saw its share price drive 147% higher over five years. Also pleasing for shareholders was the 22% gain in the last three months. But this move may well have been assisted by the reasonably buoyant market (up 16% in 90 days). So let's assess the underlying fundamentals over the last 5 years and see if they've moved in lock-step with shareholder returns. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. Because Civeo made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one would hope for good top-line growth to make up for the lack of earnings. In the last 5 years Civeo saw its revenue grow at 6.1% per year. That's a pretty good long term growth rate. We'd argue this growth has been reflected in the share price which has climbed at a rate of 20% per year over in that time. Given that the business has made good progress on the top line, it would be worth taking a look at the growth trend. When a growth trend accelerates, be it in revenue or earnings, it can indicate an inflection point for the business, which is can often be an opportunity for investors. The image below shows how earnings and revenue have tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). If you are thinking of buying or selling Civeo stock, you should check out this FREE detailed report on its balance sheet. What About The Total Shareholder Return (TSR)? Investors should note that there's a difference between Civeo's total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price change, which we've covered above. Arguably the TSR is a more complete return calculation because it accounts for the value of dividends (as if they were reinvested), along with the hypothetical value of any discounted capital that have been offered to shareholders. Dividends have been really beneficial for Civeo shareholders, and that cash payout contributed to why its TSR of 166%, over the last 5 years, is better than the share price return. A Different Perspective Civeo shareholders are up 1.7% for the year. But that return falls short of the market. If we look back over five years, the returns are even better, coming in at 22% per year for five years. It may well be that this is a business worth popping on the watching, given the continuing positive reception, over time, from the market. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. Case in point: We've spotted 1 warning sign for Civeo you should be aware of. Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking elsewhere.
