From generation to wholesale and retail, Snowy Hydro is an Australian-owned end-to-end energy company that has been at the centre of Australian energy reliability since the development of the Snowy Scheme began more than 75 years ago. Operating a generating portfolio of over 6,000MW, Snowy provides the essential on-demand backup required to maintain a reliable and secure energy system. Snowy’s unique mix of hydroelectricity and fast-start gas power stations acts as a safety net for the national electricity market, supporting the ongoing transition to renewable energy. Snowy 2.0 is the major expansion of the Snowy Scheme and Australia’s biggest battery. When complete, Snowy 2.0 will provide enough long-duration renewable energy storage to power 3 million homes for a week. The scale of Snowy 2.0’s storage capacity is world-leading, equivalent to 26 million home batteries. At 350GWh, Snowy 2.0 will provide more than half the storage Australia needs through to 2050. Through its retail brands Red Energy and Lumo Energy, Snowy serves more than 1.6 million homes and businesses across the grid. Winner of a Canstar Blue award for customer service for 15 years in a row, Red Energy has been named Australia’s most trusted utility brand by Roy Morgan for the second time.
