About the Snowy 2.0 Project

Future Generation Joint Venture is currently delivering the Civil and Electro-Mechanical works for the iconic Snowy 2.0 Project.

Snowy 2.0 will link two existing dams, Tantangara and Talbingo, through 27km of tunnels and building a new underground power station.

Water will be pumped to the upper dam when there is surplus renewable energy production and the demand for energy is low, and then released back to the lower dam to generate energy when electricity demand is high.

Snowy 2.0 will provide an additional 2,200 megawatts of dispatchable, on-demand generating capacity and approximately 350,000 megawatt hours of large-scale storage to the National Electricity Market. To provide context, this is enough energy storage to power three million homes over the course of a week.

Snowy Hydro already plays a critical role in ensuring system stability at times of peak demand, and Snowy 2.0 will enhance this existing capability and ensure increased stability and security to the energy market well into the future.​

Building on a proud legacy

The Snowy Mountain scheme has a proud 70-year history.

From 1949, when the first blast was fired, to 1974, when the physical works of the scheme were completed, over 100,000 men and women from more than 30 countries have worked on this ground-breaking project that now powers homes and businesses across Australia.
