Snowy 2.0 Pumped Hydro Project making progress despite budget ballooning sixfold to $12bn and a delay of supplying power to the grid by 7 years (2028) Six turbines about to be installed more than 1km underground to generate 2,200MW for a total of 350GW-hours – enough to power 3m homes for a week.
This is Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's legacy

This ABC doco is recommended for those interested in large tunnelling projects and Australia's Snowy Hydro 'pumped hydro' battery that is running years late and hugely over budget.
The tunnelling machine is bogged.
I read the EIS in detail back in the day, advising on groundwater as part of a larger submission.
I am confident that the geology ahead is poorly mapped and complex. Weathered basalt and limestone are both possible, with more opportunities for bogging and flooding. Watch this space...
Four Corners: Series 2023 Tunnel Vision

“…an eight hour big battery [] emerged as the winner of its first long duration storage auction, beating several highly fancied pumped hydro projects.”

When was Snowy2.0 supposed to come on line? Batteries are coming in cheaper than pumped hydro already. And this is for storage not stability.
