Snowy Hydro Hunter Power Project
UGL is the principal contractor for the construction of a 660MW power generation plant at the Hunter Power Project in Kurri Kurri, New South Wales, commissioned by Snowy Hydro Limited (SHL).
The Hunter Power Project will generate energy with two heavy-duty “F Class” open cycle gas turbines. These turbines will be capable of operating on hydrogen, natural gas and diesel as a backup.
This power station is essential for NSW and was declared by the State Government as a Critical State Significant Infrastructure project in December 2020.
