Snowy Hydro 2.0 is leaking money

from Saturday Extra - Separate stories podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

There's been another major cost blow out to the Snowy Hydro scheme 2.0, first announced by Malcolm Turnbull in 2017. It commenced in 2019 and was forecast to take 5 years to complete. It started with a two-billion-dollar price tag — that climbed to twelve billion — and now that figure has been overrun. More funding is needed to see it through to completion in 2028.Guest: Alison Reeve, energy and climate change program director at the Grattan Institute
