Grid-scale energy storage solutions provider Energy Vault signed a Global Strategic Agreement with Astor Enerji, a global manufacturer of power transformers and high-voltage equipment, to strengthen global supply chains for battery energy storage systems (BESS).
The agreement also aims to accelerate the deployment of large-scale energy storage and grid infrastructure across several markets.
The partnership is a powerful industrial alliance that will unlock commercial and technological synergies, including supply chain efficiency, advanced system integration, and accelerated execution of utility-scale projects.
U.S. transformer wait times have grown from 50 weeks to, in some cases, 127 weeks, and this collaboration direclty addresses supply chain shortges. Leveraging Astor Enerji’s manufacturing capacity and global supply chain will ensure access to high-quality equipment.
Under the agreement, Energy Vault will provide B-VAULT™ BESS solutions for Astor Enerji’s four grid-connected PV projects in Romania for a total storage capacity of up to 2 GWh. Astor Enerji will provide transformers and high-voltage equipment for more than 1 GW of Energy Vault’s BESS projects, which will be constructed in the United States, Australia, and Europe.
“This partnership is about more than equipment supply — it’s about aligning two high-growth companies to solve the most pressing challenges in the energy transition,” said Marco Terruzzin, Chief Revenue Officer, Energy Vault, in a statement. “Together, we are building the technology and supply chain capacity to meet surging power demand from AI data centers and the rapid adoption of renewable energy. This is how we deliver power abundance and economic growth on a global scale.”
