Snowy 20: A Giant Battery Transforming Australia's Energy Landscape

Deep Underground Innovation

In the remote and rugged Snowy Mountains of Australia, a colossal project is underway—Snowy 20. This massive undertaking, spearheaded by the Webuild Group and its subsidiary Clough, is transforming the country's energy infrastructure.

Harnessing Water Power

Snowy 20 is a pumped-hydro project, designed to store vast amounts of energy by pumping water between two reservoirs at different elevations. During periods of high electricity demand, water is released from the upper reservoir to generate hydropower, providing a reliable and renewable source of electricity.

Expanding the Snowy Scheme

The Snowy 20 project is a significant expansion of the Snowy Scheme, a renowned hydropower system that has powered Australia for decades. This expansion will increase the Snowy Scheme's generation capacity by nearly 50%, significantly boosting the nation's renewable energy capabilities.
