Snowy Hydro has been forced to delay the full start-up of its $1.3 billion-plus Kurri Kurri gas power plant in the Hunter Valley, a project originally intended to be running more than two years ago and cost less than half as much.
The federal government-owned power generator is also considering deferring the completion of testing to run the 660-megawatt generator on diesel, given the crunch on supply due to the Iran war. Testing to run the plant on gas is already complete.
