Energy Vault Holdings is trading 5.05% up now at $3.44 after Italy designated its Digital Vault Sulcis program a project of pre-eminent national strategic interest on September 1, 2026.
- The designation creates an accelerated administrative-approval pathway.
- The planned project includes a 30 MW Edge AI data center, renewable generation, and storage in Sardinia.
- Broader markets are also higher, but the company-specific announcement is the clearest catalyst for the gain.
