Indeed, a 2022 US Department of Energy study concluded that gravity energy storage is relatively expensive in smaller installations. Where it's most economical is in high-capacity systems that generate power for relatively long periods of time — 10 hours or more.

Can we store energy using a brick?

It's a genius idea. Switzerland-based startup Energy Vault has broken ground on two huge facilities in Texas and just north of Shanghai, CNET reports, to test whether we can store energy by raising and lowering hundreds of 24 metric-ton (53,000 pound) bricks made of compressed dirt. The idea is astonishingly simple.

Does Energy Vault have a gravitational energy storage tower?
