Energy Insiders Podcast: Snowy Hydro in the spotlight

Snowy Hydro’s head of commercial Gordon Wymer goes into the fine details of the proposed Snowy 2.0 pumped hydro scheme.

In this interview with David Leitch, Wymer talks of the challenges for Australia’s grid in the renewable transition, and how the government owned utility proposes to make the ambitious and multi-billion dollar Snowy 2.0 pumped hydro plan work financially.

Plus. We discuss the latest results from AGL and EnergyAustralia, and wonder what the regulator is up to with its power play against the South Australia wind farms.
