EPA probes Snowy Hydro’s $2B Hunter Power Project over odor and health complaints, testing issues, and delayed green hydrogen goals.
The EPA is investigating Snowy Hydro’s $2 billion Hunter Power Project in Kurri Kurri after mid-July testing triggered reports of strong diesel-like odors and health concerns from residents across the Hunter region.
The plant, designed to run on gas with diesel backup and operate only 5% of the time during peak demand, was required to conduct continuous emissions monitoring.
Despite revised testing procedures and improved communication, the EPA continues its probe into potential environmental violations, with possible regulatory action pending.
The project, intended to replace the Liddell coal plant, faces delays in its green hydrogen ambitions, with the original goal of 30% hydrogen use at launch and 100% by 2030 now deemed unfeasible, limiting initial operations to a 15% hydrogen-gas blend.
