Business Description
REASONS TO INVEST
1. INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY: Our energy storage technology lowers levelized costs and minimizes environmental impacts, leveraging existing fossil fuel industry infrastructure for a cleaner future.
2. INDUSTRY RELATIONSHIPS: We have key relationships with industry leaders including Stantec, the Robbins Company, and Computerized Analysis & Simulation Ltd to move our product toward commercialization.
3. EXPERIENCED LEADERSHIP: We are led by a team of experts with decades of experience as innovators in clean energy, engineering, and entrepreneurship.
THE PITCH
The world needs a scalable clean energy solution. Our energy storage technology enables the widespread adoption of renewable energy while minimizing environmental impact and maximizing efficiency. Gravity Power holds 4 patents across 20 countries, has partnerships with global industry leaders, and is ready to move to commercialization in this $1 trillion market.
OVERVIEW
Scalable Energy Storage Critical to Stopping Climate Change
We are designing Gravity Power plants to turn unpredictable, renewable energy into reliable peak-period power. We believe that once commercialized, we can increase the value of renewable energy from 3-6 cents (for “as-available” renewable energy or for “based load” resources) to 15-20 cents per KWh. With pumped storage unable to meet the global need for energy storage globally, we are ready to meet the $1 trillion demand for energy storage with highly efficient and eco-friendly technology. Join us as we build the future of clean energy.

Problem
Currently, pumped storage hydroelectric dominates the energy storage market, with 94% of the market. However, pump storage is increasingly out of reach for customers, as it is difficult and time-consuming to deploy, while being land inefficient and environmentally controversial. As a result, pumped storage is not being adopted at the necessary scale to meet the markets need and “decarbonize” the electric grid.
Solution
Efficient, Eco-Friendly, and Easily Executed
We are meeting the market demand for energy storage with technology, that lowers costs, raises efficiency and minimize environmental impacts. Gravity power makes it straightforward to obtain permits and sites, delivering the same compelling customer value proposition as pump storage being highly scaled for adoption.
Business Model
Gravity Power’s business model is projected to consist of licensing the technology and offering technical support focused on electric load-serving entities, independent power producers, transmission companies, and similar entities.
We intend to offer our technology across the globe through direct-to-business channels and through intermediaries, such as engineering companies. The Company believes that it is a favorable investment because of unbeatable customer value (we have what we believe is the only storage tech that is low-levelized cost, environmentally benign, high efficiency, and straightforward to site), broad patent protection (4 patents in 20 countries), an active investment climate for energy storage, and an attractive share price.
Market Projection
The Demand for energy storage is projected to be over $1 trillion, driven primarily by the rapidly worsening climate crisis. The recently passed by parts and infrastructure wall contains $505 million in funding to support the development and deployment of energy storage technologies.
Competition
The dominant legacy technology is pumped storage hydroelectric (PSH), with a 94% global market share. PSH offers lowlevelized cost, high efficiency, reliability, and grid stabilization, but it is environmentally damaging and controversial. As a result, PSH projects typically take a decade or more to secure approvals, and many are simply abandoned in the face of public opposition.
Lithium-ion batteries have gained some market share, but they are also environmentally damaging and too expensive for grid-connected energy storage at scale. Other technologies in the market or in the technology pipeline include chemical batteries, compressed air, flow, mechanical lifting of weights, hydrogen, thermal, Energy Vault, HydroStore, Gravitricity, et al). We believe none appears to us to offer the compelling value proposition that Gravity Power does.
Traction & Customers
Strong Partnerships in a Fast-Growing Industry
We have formed the strategic partnerships with companies, such as Stantec, One of the top 10 engineering firms worldwide. Our technology has been verified by numerous third-party experts, including Stantec, BabEng, and Hochtief. Most recently, we have agreed to conduct a joint R&D program with the Robbins Company, The pioneer of the tunnel boring machine.
Patents
Gravity Power holds 4 key, competition-blocking patents on this technology, in 20 countries. Energy storage is essential to decarbonizing the grid; Gravity Power believes that it can capture much of the global market, estimated to be $1 trillion by 2040, and make a sizable dent in climate change, all with a potentially capital-efficient, lucrative business model.
Investors
The issuer conducted their first exempt crowd-funding offering ending on December 11, 2023 through StartEngine. They raised $232,624.69 through the end of the offering. The net proceeds are being used for R&D and operational purposes.
