Salini Impregilo will build the biggest hydroelectric power station in Australia after winning a contract valued at AU$5.1 billion (US$3.5 billion) for the civil works and an electromechanical component of the Snowy 2.0 project. Salini Impregilo will work together with Clough, forming the Future Generation joint venture.
Snowy 2.0 will be an expansion of a network of hydropower stations in the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme operated by Snowy Hydro Ltd, helping underpin Australia’s renewable energy future.
Under the terms of the contract, Salini Impregilo will link the existing Tantangara and Talbingo dams by excavating a series of tunnels and building a hydroelectric power station with pumping facilities located nearly one kilometer underground.
