The mega project, one of the world’s biggest pumped hydro schemes, will provide cheaper energy and prevent blackouts when coal exits, Snowy says.

Australia's most ambitious renewable energy project is slowly nearing completion, but experts are divided on whether Snowy 2.0 will ever justify its snowballing price tag.

The mega project, one of the world’s biggest pumped hydro schemes, will provide cheaper energy and prevent blackouts when coal exits, Snowy says.

Snowy has commissioned a report saying how important its Snowy 2.0 project is for the grid. Actually, we just want to know the size of the bill.

Dennis Barnes said he was “not feeling that comfortable” that the Snowy 2.0 pumped hydro project would meet a revised 2028 start date.
