The Clough Salini joint venture, Future Generation, was awarded the AU$5.1bn contract for the Civil and Electro-Mechanical works for the Snowy 2.0 Project. 

Snowy 2.0 will link two existing Snowy Scheme dams, Tantangara and Talbingo, through underground tunnels to the depths of up to one kilometre and an underground power station with pumping capabilities. Snowy 2.0 will add 2,000 megawatts of energy generation and provide 175 hours of energy storage for the National Electricity Market, enough to ensure the stability and reliability of the system during prolonged weather events, such as wind or solar droughts. Snowy Hydro already plays a critical role in ensuring system stability at times of peak demand, and Snowy 2.0 will enhance this existing capability and ensure that we can continue to provide increased stability and security to the energy market well into the future.

Clough were contracted by Rio Tinto to complete FEED, detailed design & procurement support for the Cape Lambert Power Station near Wickham in Western Australia’s Pilbara region.
