4 FAQs about Successful gravity energy storage project

Can gravity energy storage be commercially viable?

The successful integration of the Rudong EVx gravity battery into China’s national grid signifies a major advancement in energy technology. This project demonstrates that large-scale gravity energy storage is not only feasible but also commercially viable.

What are gravity energy storage systems?

Gravity energy storage systems are a breakthrough in the realm of renewable energy technologies. These systems harness the power of gravity to store and release energy in the form of electricity. By utilizing heavy masses, such as concrete blocks, the system lifts these masses to store gravitational potential energy.

What is China Tianying's gravity energy storage system (GESS) project?

In April of 2023, China Tianying (CNTY) commenced construction of Zhangye City's first Gravity Energy Storage System (GESS) project. Once completed, the 175 meter structure will be equipped with a peak power output of 17 MW and a maximum energy capacity of 68 MWh.

How does gravity energy storage work?

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.
