Hydro Tasmania is the owner and operator of the Lake St Clair radial gates, including the associated infrastructure.

The radial gates are large water-control gates that let us control the flow of water from Lake St Clair into Lake King William. They help us safely manage lake levels, especially during wet weather, and ensure water is released in a controlled and predictable way.



Initially Hydro Tasmania considered refurbishment of the control gates commissioned in 1930 at Lake St Clair however, due to the age of the gates (95 years old) it was decided to replace the gates with new gates to secure the safe operation of the gates for the years to come.

Sometimes, things move slowly in Tasmania, but when it comes to energy, we’re well ahead of the pack. Read on to explore how renewable energy became one of Tasmania’s superpowers and why it will underpin our future.

Nearly $140,000 in community grants has been provided to target the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on the Tasmanian way of life, with local sport clubs, mental health programs, bathroom renovations, a cake stall and even a ride-on lawnmower among a wide variety of programs that will make a difference.

Looking after our existing power stations is the biggest part of Hydro Tasmania’s annual workload and budget. There are rolling schedules of maintenance and outages planned years in advance, which often take more than a year to complete. But even though we’ve been doing this for decades, there are sometimes still a few surprises in store.

Tasmania’s hydropower assets can support the national grid and lower energy prices, says Hydro Tasmania CEO Steve Davy in The Australian.

New Energy Minister Angus Taylor has been given the substantial job of reducing energy prices, and he has Tasmania on side through the Battery of the Nation initiative, which aims to do just that.
