Pumped hydro is very dependent on location. But the supply of energy would not need to be. Electricity grids and DC interconnectors work really well. Having a few massive sites spread across a continent could work well.

Pumped hydro is not, in fact, very dependent on location. You just need a hill. There are a lot of hills.

Even places without hills often have deep underground cavities, which also serve.
