Work underway to install gravity-utilising renewable energy system in Edinburgh
A groundbreaking system which stores renewable energy using gravity is taking shape in Edinburgh.The £1 million demonstration project – at Forth Port’s Prince Albert Dock – will see heavy weights raised then dropped into a deep shaft to release energy.The system is the work of Leith based start-up Gravitricity. Their 250kW demonstrator comprises a 15-metre high lattice tower, two 25-tonne weights suspended by steel cables, plus two grid-connected generator units.During the test phase, the Gravitricity team will begin by lowering the weights together to generate full power and verify their speed of response.
