The 25 MW/100 MWh EVx™ Gravity Energy Storage System (GESS) is a 4-hour duration project. It is being built outside of Shanghai in Rudong, Jiangsu Province, China, and is under construction directly adjacent to a wind farm and national grid.
A subsidiary company of China Tianying recently announced it formed an agreement with the People’s Government of Huailai County to build an additional 100 MWh gravity energy storage project. Energy Vault said it will provide more details on this expansion during the company’s second quarter 2023 earnings conference call scheduled for Aug. 8, 2023.
Energy Vault said that upon completion, the systems will support the balancing of China’s national energy grid through the storage and delivery of renewable energy. The Rudong and Zhangye projects have been designated as new energy storage pilot demonstration projects by China’s National Energy Administration.
Gravity based pumped-storage electricity is the largest form of grid energy storage in the world.
Energy Vault has connected its 25 MW/100 MWh EVx gravity-energy storage system (GESS) in China. Once provincial and state approvals are obtained to start operating, it will become the world’s first commercial, utility-scale, non-pumped hydro GESS.

A gravity battery is a type of energy storage device that stores gravitational energy—the potential energy E given to an object with a mass m when it is raised against the force of gravity of Earth (g, 9.8 m/s²) into a height difference h. In a common application, when renewable energy sources such as wind and solar provide more energy than is immediately required, the excess energy is used to move a mass upward agains…
