Project Experience

Midgard was retained by ITC Holdings Inc. to conduct a comprehensive site selection study for potential 1,000+ MW pumped storage hydroelectric (PSH) projects across the Western United States. Given the vast geographic scope, Midgard employed a structured, two-phase approach to identify viable project locations:

• Phase I – GIS-Based Screening: Used Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques to eliminate non-viable areas based on environmental, topographical, and regulatory constraints.
• Phase II – Site Analysis: Conducted a detailed assessment of the identified study areas, considering hydrology, infrastructure proximity, grid interconnection potential, and economic feasibility.

This strategic approach enabled ITC to focus on high-potential locations for further evaluation and development.
