The 25 MW/100 MWh EVx™ Gravity Energy Storage System (GESS) is a 4-hour duration project being built outside of Shanghai in Rudong, Jiangsu Province, China. The EVx™ is under construction directly adjacent to a wind farm and national grid.
The most striking example of this shift to gravity storage is Rudong, China, where a partnership between Energy Vault (a Swiss company) and the Chinese government has created the EVx system. Standing over 120 meters high, the EVx building is a massive mechanical tower for lifting giant blocks weighing 24 tons during surplus energy.
The research and development of the gravity energy storage system has been based in Ticino and operational since 2019 with its own R&D centre. The commercial demonstration unit has been connected to the Swiss national utility grid and used for two years of testing and software commissioning.
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.
