Gravitricity develops below ground gravity energy storage systems and raised £40 million to commercialise projects in January this year, as covered by our sister site Solar
G-VAULT™ is a family of gravity energy storage products that decouple power and energy while maintaining a high round-trip efficiency. The G-VAULT™ platform utilizes a mechanical process of lifting and lowering composite blocks or water to store and dispatch electrical energy.
Total addressable market regionally for energy storage expected to be 125GWh+ through 2035, yielding a market potential of multi-billion dollars in EPC projects and associated royalty streams

Gravitricity develops below ground gravity energy storage systems and raised £40 million to commercialise projects in January this year, as covered by our sister site Solar Power Portal. The firm''s technology works by raising weights in a deep shaft and releasing them when energy is required.
Energy Vault''s gravity energy storage systems (GESS) use a proprietary design that combines conventional physics fundamentals of potential and kinetic energy with a patented system of computer vision software, a cloud-based platform, and low-cost, custom-made composite blocks.
hydro storage, the most widely deployed energy storage solution on the planet. The EVx™ decouples power and energy while maintaining a high round-trip efficiency, without the need for specific topography. The result is a flexible, low-cost, 35-year (or more) infrastructure asset designed for daily bulk energy shifting without any storage medium
Energy Vault is a global energy storage company specializing in gravity and kinetic energy based, long-duration energy storage products. Energy Vault''s primary product is a gravity battery to store energy by stacking heavy blocks made of composite material into a structure, capturing potential energy in the elevation gain of the blocks.
The last bit of recent Energy Vault news is that it has successfully installed a large (69MW / 275MWh) battery energy storage system at the Stanton Energy Reliability Center in southern California. The battery installation is now being operated at full capacity by Energy Vault’s partner in this project, Wellhead.
Energy Vault views the Calistoga project as a model for the company’s future utility-scale hybrid storage system deployments, especially in the California market. The facility will be ready for use in June of this year.
Energy Vault's Rudong, China facility under construction. The fabrication of an EVx facility is essentially a large-scale civilian engineering project and, other than Energy Vault’s intellectual property, the vast majority of inputs required to build the facility are available from local suppliers.
The multi-year agreement is expected to facilitate multi-gigawatt hours (GWh’s) of long duration Energy Vault GESS deployments to contribute to the SADC region’s energy storage needs, estimated to reach over 125 GWh by 2035.
The GESSOL agreement is structured to pay Energy Vault a total of $20 million over the term of the exclusivity agreement in addition to an ongoing stream of royalty payments of 5% of project revenues.
Bravo, Energy Vault! Here in the States, Energy Vault announced it has won a bid to install a battery and fuel-cell-powered mini-grid facility in the northern California town of Calistoga. This facility increases the town’s resiliency during fire season and saves electrical customers money.
