They built the dams, tunnels and power stations that changed Australia forever. Now, 70 years after the first dirt was broken on the Snowy Hydro Scheme, workers are re-uniting to tell their tales, and celebrate the legacy they created. #9News | http://9News.com.au | 9 News

Head underground with Snowy 2.0 - a major pumped hydro expansion of the mighty Snowy Scheme and Australia's largest committed renewable energy project. Our growing generation portfolio will underpin thousands of megawatts of renewables and will continue to keep the lights on for generations to come. This month join our team aboard the Lady Eileen Hudson tunnel boring machine as it excavates the main access tunnel. We're in the final stages of assembling our second TBM, Kirsten, while the main ca

Skill and precision! In this month’s project update, we’ll visit the factory in Shanghai where some of the major Snowy 2.0 power station generation equipment is being manufactured by Voith Hydro Voith Group. The components are being fabricated with precision to support the 150-year design life of Snowy 2.0. We showcase the team's exceptional machining and highly specialised welding skills and celebrate as the first runner undergoes its factory acceptance testing! #snowy2 #snowyhydro #projectupda

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. Check out the February Snowy 2.0 video update to find out more! #renewableenergy #snowy2
