This paper presents an evaluation of this indicator for an aboveground suspended weight energy storage system. For the first time, an analytical foundational correlation was found between capital expenditures of gravity energy storage, its energy capacity, and storage power. The correlation reveals that capex can be expressed as the sum of three components: one inversely proportional to discharge duration, another inversely proportional to the square root of energy capacity, and a constant term. By using established construction and power element prices the study demonstrates that capex can be reduced to less than 600 $/kW·h for discharge durations of 4 h or more, and can decrease to nearly 450 $/kW·h for a 10-h discharge duration. Employing the computed capex an evaluation of the total cost of ownership was conducted and juxtaposed with lithium-ion energy storage. The gains from adopting gravity technology become significant starting from the initial replacement of degraded Li-ion batteries.
