Planning and environmental approvals were received for Snowy 2.0 Main Works from both the NSW and Federal Governments.
These approvals allow construction to start on the project’s underground power station, waterways and access tunnels, and other supporting infrastructure.
It brings Snowy Hydro’s vision to become Australia’s biggest battery and storage for renewable energy one step closer.
It also unlocks investment that will create thousands of jobs over the life of the project and provide a much-needed boost to the local and regional economy,
