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

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 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

💥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

💥 Having a blast! 💥 The Snowy 2.0 power station will have a generation capacity of 2,200 megawatts and we're excavating one of the largest underground cavern complexes in the world to house the six pumped-hydro units and supporting infrastructure. That means a lot of drill and blast work! The total to be excavated for the main power station caverns is: 🛠️machine hall 310,000m3 🛠️transformer hall 160,000m3 In this video below, see how the blasting process is carried out, from the precise blas
