Here’s the latest on Snowy Hydro, based on recent public reporting:

• Snowy Hydro 2.0 updates: Australia’s Snowy Hydro 2.0 project has seen a reset with updated generation targets and budget. The plan now contemplates an extra 200 MW (about 10%) of capacity, pushing total generation to around 2.2 GW, with full power expected around December 2028. Costs have risen to roughly $12 billion due to design and site conditions. These updates indicate a shift toward a revised delivery model with new partnerships to improve time and budget performance.

If you’d like, I can pull the most current official statements or recent media releases and turn them into a concise bullet-point briefing with dates and key figures. I can also create a quick chart comparing initial vs. revised targets (capacity, cost, and delivery dates) if you want a visual summary.
