Green Gravity Concludes Partnership Aimed At Delivering Energy Storage At Seventeen Sites In Romania
November 10, 2023
Green Gravity and Complexul Energetic Valea Jiului S.A. (CEVJ) have executed a Cooperation Framework Agreement to explore the application of Green Gravity’s innovative energy storage technology in seventeen (17) mine shafts on the four (4) mining operations in the Valea Jiului in Romania.
Our technology provides low-cost, flexible and ultra-green energy storage.
Circular
Driving circular economic value by reusing old mine shafts to support green energy.Flexible
Provides short or mid duration storage or grid ancillary services.
Sustainable
Low noise, small land use, no water, chemicals, or destruction of farmland. Our technology can be fully recycled, unlike battery options.
Local
Locally sourced materials, supply chain and workforce create economic value in the local community.
Low-Cost
Offering attractive economics due to reuse of infrastructure, high efficiency, low operating and maintenance costs and long life of the asset.
Long Life
Our system does not degrade, meaning we invest once to match long run energy security needs, avoiding the costly performance degradation of batteries.
