Featuring the most active solar and storage transactors, join us for a packed two-days of deal-making, learning and networking. Gravitricity and Energy Vault have progressed their gravity energy storage solutions, with project updates in USA/Germany and China.
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.
Gravity storage system provider Energy Vault ’s first commercial EVx GESS has been connected to the grid in China. Earlier this week, the company confirmed that the 25 MW/100 MWh EVx system, located in Rudong, China's Jiangsu province, was connected in December 2023, enabling full commissioning by State Grid Corp. of China.
Those of you who follow this column know that Energy Vault (NYSE: NRGV) is designing and building facilities that essentially recreate the physics of the most popular form of energy storage – pumped hydro – without pumps or hydro.
Gravity batteries are not based on chemistry, but on the force of gravity. Underpinned by Newton's law – what goes up, must come down – this new field of energy storage technology is, in principle, remarkably simple.
In February, Energy Vault signed a 10-year agreement to deploy its energy storage tech across the 16 nations of the Southern African Development Community region. It also announced it had begun construction of largest green hydrogen long-duration energy storage project in the United States to date, in northern California.
