Sep 30, 2025 - The $12 Billion Project That Could Change Australia Forever… or Fail

Snowy 2.0 was announced as Australia`s boldest renewable energy project a $2 billion mega battery designed to power millions of homes and secure the nation`s clean energy future. But nearly a decade later, the project has spiraled into a $12 billion controversy marked by massive delays, tunneling disasters, environmental risks, and growing public skepticism.

This documentary takes you deep inside the rise and struggles of Snowy 2.0, exploring its ambitious vision, engineering challenges beneath the Snowy Mountains, and the critical question: can this project still succeed, or will it go down as one of the most expensive failures in Australia`s history?
