In the race toward decarbonisation, Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH) is foundational to tomorrow’s power systems. It’s now a proven and scalable technology, able to store large amounts of electricity and release it on demand.
As a global leader in PSH engineering, Tractebel has more than 50 years of experience and involvement in many of the most iconic related projects worldwide. We bring cutting-edge expertise in all technical aspects of pumped storage — from early-stage studies to detailed engineering and project execution.
Our multidisciplinary teams have mastered PSH configurations — closed-loop and open-loop systems, surface and underground plants — and work closely with developers, utilities, equipment suppliers and EPC contractors to design robust, optimised and future-proof solutions.
Even more, Tractebel clients trust us to ensure they successfully navigate regulatory, environmental and complex grid-integration challenges. Our approach is designed to ensure project bankability and risk mitigation in ways that deliver long-term value.
