#BetterEnergyBetterFuture Jointly constructed by China Gezhouba Group, a subsidiary of #EnergyChina, the lower reservoir of Fengning Pumped Storage Power Station officially began storing water. With an installed capacity of 3,600 MW, the project has been under construction from May 2013, and will be the largest pumped-storage power station in the world after completion. Moreover, every year, it will store 8.8 billion kWh of excess electricity, generate 6.612 billion kWh of power, save 480,800 to

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 | Facebook

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

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

Catch up on Snowy 2.0! DID YOU KNOW? Marica - the Snowy Mountains area where the headrace tunnel surge shaft for Snowy 2.0 is being built - was named after a nearby trig station, as there were no other local landmarks before our huge pumped-hydro project! Check out our latest Snowy 2.0 video for an update about what's happening at Marica, along with the latest construction progress at the Tantangara slurry plant and intake works. Snowy 2.0 is Australia’s largest committed renewable energy projec

💥 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
