Energy Vault has confirmed its increased guidance for 2022, posting US$146 million in revenue of which two-thirds came in Q4.
The company, which is known for its gravity-based energy storage solution but has recently broadened out into battery storage and green hydrogen, released its full-year results yesterday (7 March). In January it revealed revenues would be 40-100% higher than previous guidance of US$75-100 million.
US$100 million of that came in the final quarter of the year thanks to the company’s gravity energy storage expansion and ahead-of-schedule execution of a 275MWh battery storage project in California.
It is the first year Energy Vault has booked revenues since being founded. Net loss for the year was US$78 million. For 2023, the firm expects revenues of US$325-425 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss of US$50-70 million.
