Mega project mapping! Snowy 2.0, our 2,200 megawatt pumped-hydro mega project, is a big build! We need extensive, accurate surveying and geospatial data from above ground and deep underground, where we're excavating about 40 kilometres of tunnels and a huge power station cavern the size of two football fields! Snowy Hydro is working with Australian geospatial information specialist, IntelliSpatial which is utilising world's best practice, high definition 3D models to help us deliver the project.

Snowy 2.0 continues to throw good money after bad I questioned the Snowy Hydro Authority on the Snowy 2.0 project at Senate Estimates. Snowy 2.0 is a ‘big battery’ that pumps water from the Talbingo Reservoir up to the Tantangara Reservoir during the day when there is excess wind and solar electricity, then lets the water down during the evening peak to generate electricity when the sun isn’t shining and wind isn’t blowing. If this sounds like we are planning on generating electricity twice to u

Snowy 2.0 along, with other storage projects and technologies, are needed to underpin the transition to a renewable energy future. Snowy 2.0 adds 2,000MW of generating capacity which is enough to power 200 million LED light bulbs, and 175 hours of large-scale storage equal to 35 million domestic batteries. 💡 #renewableenergy #energystorage #hydropower | Snowy Hydro
