Backed by Snowy Hydro

At Red Energy, we believe energy retailers should do more than keep the lights on; they should support renewable, reliable power for homes, communities and the future. This is why we’re proud to be 100% Australian-owned and backed by Snowy Hydro.

The Snowy Hydro story

From generation to wholesale and retail, Snowy Hydro is an Australian-owned end-to-end energy company that has been at the centre of Australian energy reliability since the development of the Snowy Scheme began more than 75 years ago. Snowy is driving the shift to renewables because it’s the lowest-cost way to power our future and it’s why they’re building Snowy 2.0 – which will act like Australia's biggest battery and ensure reliable, affordable energy for generations to come.

Snowy 2.0 — The next chapter

Snowy 2.0 is a major expansion of the iconic Snowy Scheme that will act like Australia’s biggest battery to underpin reliable, lowest-cost power across the grid.

Snowy 2.0 will work by storing renewable energy on a massive scale, the equivalent of around 26 million home batteries.

Built to operate for 150 years, Snowy 2.0 will be a national asset owned by every Australian to help secure our energy sovereignty and ensure homes and businesses have reliable energy for generations to come.
