Energy Where Power
Meets Purpose.

We’re dedicated to efficient and effective energy systems and the valuable impact they provide to people and communities. In a transitional age of power generation, transmission, and distribution, we have the experience and foresight required to navigate permitting and agency processes, maintain reliable access to facilities, and ensure all stakeholders are prepared for every complication and contingency. We also help clients navigate and comply with all aspects of FERC requirements and licensing.

With our wide range of in-house expertise, we’re uniquely positioned to provide highly constructable projects with practical designs that minimize environmental impact. Once a project makes it to the construction phase, our knowledgeable team of construction managers and inspectors are there to ensure compliance with all construction documents.

Client Testimonial Cascade Natural Gas

Walla Walla High Pressure Gas Pipeline

“I have worked with MacKay Sposito for the past four years on various projects. They are very patient listeners and highly skilled at project management and engineering. Their project leadership and attention to detail was crucial in the success of our gas pipeline project in Walla Walla County and ultimately resulted in local property owner’s satisfaction and acceptance of Cascade Natural Gas in the area. I would work with MacKay Sposito on any future project as I fully trust in their abilities to make any project successful.”
