Energy Vault only has four data points with different energy ratings and power ratings: (1) 300 MWh, 75 MW, 276$/kwh (2) 100 MWh, 25 MW, 290$/kWh, (3) 300 MWh, 37.5 MW, 218$/kWh, (4) 100 MWh, 12.5 MW, 230$/kWh. The duration also blurs the differences of their size, either in energy rating or power rating.
This is only a start: McKinsey modeling for the study suggests that by 2040, LDES has the potential to deploy 1.5 to 2.5 terawatts (TW) of power capacity—or eight to 15 times the total energy-storage capacity deployed today—globally. Likewise, it could deploy 85 to 140 terawatt-hours (TWh) of energy capacity by 2040 and store up to 10
