Snowy Hydro 2.0

Snowy Hydro 2.0 project is an expansion of the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme, which was commissioned in 1974. It will become Australia’s biggest green energy project and the world’s biggest pumped storage plant, upon completion.

The plant will help deliver reliable and affordable energy by adding 2GW of hydroelectric generation capacity to the Snowy Scheme, which has an installed capacity of 3.8GW.

It is recognised as the largest committed renewable energy project in Australia. Snowy Hydro 2.0 will underpin the nation’s secure and stable transition to a low-carbon emissions future at the lowest cost for consumers.
