Who is gravity?

Gravitricity was founded in 2011 by Peter Fraenkel MBE and Martin Wright, the innovators behind the successful tidal stream energy company Marine Current Turbines.

What does gravity do?

At Gravitricity we are developing innovative, long-life, underground technologies which store energy safely and deliver it on demand at a lower lifetime cost than current alternatives.

What makes gravity a great company?

At Gravitricity we have a dynamic and skilled team of highly capable individuals. Their real power is how they work as a team, get to the heart of engineering challenges and find optimal solutions.

Who invented gravity energy storage?

Gravitricity is founded by energy innovators Peter Fraenkel and Martin Wright. First patent ‘Apparatus and method for electrical energy storage’ submitted. Secure £650,000 grant from Innovate UK for the design and build of our gravity energy storage concept demonstrator.

Where can gravity systems be used?

However, such systems are reliant on specific topography and can only be found at significant scale. By contrast, the novel design of Gravitricity’s systems meant they could be deployed anywhere, leveraging the power of underground shafts, including recently de-commissioned mine sites.

How does gravity work with industrial partners?

Gravitricity works closely with industrial partners to bring our technology to market quickly. We recognize the importance of creating relationships with supply chain partners and other organisations that have strong expertise in their jurisdiction and understand the value of working with different partners in different areas.
