Snowy Hydro 2.0
Hunter Valley
Our qualified EBA crew installed 7 structural steel structures at the Kurri Kurri plant, navigating around other facilities and tight spaces. The erection of the structures was completed in 8 weeks, in compliance to every safety procedure and with no incidences, leaving the client and other trades on site baffled.
About the Project: Snowy Hydro Limited (SHL) is undertaking the largest energy project in Australia. The expansion of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric scheme involves linking the existing Tatangara and Talbingo reservoirs through a series of underground tunnels, and the construction of an underground hydro-electric power station.
The scheme will enable dispatch of up to 2,000 MW of on-demand generating capacity to the grid. It will also provide unparalleled long-duration storage (350,000 MWh), which the power system will increasingly require as more coal-fired power stations retire. It will store enough energy to power approximately three million homes for a week. The first power generated from Snowy 2.0 is expected in 2028.
