I am just taking wormholes to mean “altered connectivity of space” and leave out the “massive concentrations of mass” aspect.
The curious thing about portals portals is that they somehow magically know to flip gravity when a object travels thourht. If the portal is just ordinary space there shouldn’t be a sudden gradient to the gravity field but it should go smoothly from one direction to the other. And in additon gravity ought to work throught portals. that would mean that if you have a portal in a ceiling it ought to pull stuff throught it towards the ceiling (towards the center of mass beyond the portal). That is a standard “infinite fall” portal setup should feel equal gravity up and down midway between the portals. That kind of setup could be used to store kinetic energy but it doesn’t generate it per se.
However if portals aftected the gravity fields it could be that the non-standard gravity environment could be a major problem and would work even when you didn’t want it to. That is since the net 0 gravity point of a infinite fall setup needs to transition smoothly to the “standard gravity environment” that likely means that quite a ways “outside” the portal pair there would be a reduced gravity environment.
