The depth of the shaft ranges from 1500m for disused mineshafts to 150m for purpose-built shafts. The company claims the Gravitricity energy storage system can offer a 50-year design life and a round trip efficiency in the range of 80-90%. It is also believed to offer a cost-effective energy storage solution compared to lithium batteries.
The Gravitricity system acts like a giant battery to balance the electricity coming from renewables. Experts say such storage systems will be increasingly important as our reliance on wind and solar energy grows. The company behind the technology hopes to roll it out across Europe and Africa.

The Gravitricity demonstrator energy storage system will be an above-ground structure to be installed at the Port of Leith in Edinburg, Scotland, UK. Gravitricity entered into a land lease agreement with Forth Ports, the operator of Port of Leith, in May 2020, to build the demonstrator on an industrial site at the Leith port.
Gravitricity is piloting a 250kW energy storage demonstrator project based on this technology in Edinburg with the start of trial operations and grid-connection expected in 2021. The cost of Gravitricity’s 250kW energy storage demonstrator is estimated to be approximately £1m ($1.25m).
Energy expert Hannah Chalmers, from the University of Edinburgh, said: "Energy storage technologies are quite new for our electricity system. We've not needed them so much in the past because conventional power plants have tended to come with storage in-built.
