Snowy 2.0 is set to deliver 2,200 megawatts of fast-start energy and large-scale storage capability to the network, backed by world-leading engineering. At Lobs Hole in the Snowy Mountains, we're powering ahead with construction of the caverns and tunnels for this pumped hydro mega project. Check out the latest video update to learn more. #snowy2 #projectupdate #engineering #pumpedhydro #construction #tunnelling | Snowy Hydro

Our growing generation portfolio will underpin thousands of megawatts of renewables and will continue to keep the lights on for generations to come. Snowy 2.0, the pumped hydro expansion of the mighty Snowy Scheme, is well underway. This month's update showcases the latest progress at Lobs Hole and features tunnel boring machine (TBM), Kirsten. Once assembled, TBM Kirsten will be a massive 205m in length - this is the equivalent of approximately two football fields. Snowy Hydro is working with o

Snowy 2.0 along, with other storage projects and technologies, are needed to underpin the transition to a renewable energy future. Snowy 2.0 adds 2,000MW of generating capacity which is enough to power 200 million LED light bulbs, and 175 hours of large-scale storage equal to 35 million domestic batteries. 💡 #renewableenergy #energystorage #hydropower | Snowy Hydro

Snowy 2.0 isn’t just Australia’s largest renewable energy project - it will underpin our national transition to clean, reliable power ⚡ But while the end goal is important, so is how we get there. At Snowy Hydro, we’re proud to work with local suppliers, source materials like concrete aggregates from nearby quarries, and create lasting benefits for the communities around us. 🎥 Here's Elisha on-site at Lob's Hole to tell you about how something as simple as concrete can make a big impact - not j
