Did you know that nearly 1km beneath the snowy mountains, a MASSIVE power station is being built? 🤔⚡️💧 Check out the massive caverns being dug out to house Snowy 2.0’s hydroelectric power station. The machine hall (aka the space to house the turbines and generators) can fit the Sydney Opera House inside! 🤯 The best part about generating power using water? It’s renewable! We can use this water again and again. Snowy 2.0 will be what’s called a ‘pumped hydro’ system. It means that we use power

💥Tunnel breakthrough!💥 The latest Snowy 2.0 project milestone is the breakthrough blast in the 216 metre-long tunnel connecting the water intake at the upper Tantangara reservoir to the gate shaft! When complete, this tunnel will deliver water to the gate shaft and then the headrace tunnel, all the way to the power station at Lobs Hole. #snowy2 #projectupdate #breakthroughblast #tunnelling #drillandblast | Snowy Hydro

Snowy 2.0’s newest Tunnel Boring Machine has fired up for the first time, before she makes her historic journey underground to help build one of Australia’s most important pieces of infrastructure. TBM Monica has been named after local First Nations student, Monica Brimmer. Monica created an artwork as part of a competition run by Snowy Hydro in collaboration with the Stars Foundation - Australia, an organisation that provides a holistic program that supports Indigenous girls and young women to

Hey Mon! Welcome to the family ❤️ Tunnel Boring Machine Monica has been turned on for the first time, and will begin excavating her part of a 17km long tunnel for Snowy 2.0 Go get ‘em, Monica! | Snowy Hydro

Mega project mapping! Snowy 2.0, our 2,200 megawatt pumped-hydro mega project, is a big build! We need extensive, accurate surveying and geospatial data from above ground and deep underground, where we're excavating about 40 kilometres of tunnels and a huge power station cavern the size of two football fields! Snowy Hydro is working with Australian geospatial information specialist, IntelliSpatial which is utilising world's best practice, high definition 3D models to help us deliver the project.

Snowy 2.0 project update! ⚙️🚧 Hear from Snowy Hydro’s CEO Dennis Barnes as he outlines the details of the Snowy 2.0 project reset. While onsite at Lobs Hole we capture all the progress of the tailrace tunnel excavation by tunnel boring machine Lady Eileen Hudson and meet Future Generation's traffic and transport superintendent James Daly. Snowy 2.0 is being engineered to deliver clean and reliable storage and electricity generation for Australians for at least the next 150 years. Catch up on th

Snowy 2.0 is a critically important, pumped-hydro expansion of the Snowy Scheme that will help underpin Australia’s transition to a renewable energy future. Construction progress continues across multiple worksites in the Snowy Mountains. At Tantangara, the project team is currently conducting works to stabilise soft ground and enable tunnel boring machine Florence to restart excavating the headrace tunnel.
