Work is underway on a major turbine upgrade at Poatina Power Station as Hydro Tasmania continues a $200 million multi-year program to modernise one of its most important energy assets. Project manager Thor Madsen says the work takes careful planning and teamwork, leaving no stone unturned and ‘no pebble in the shoe’.

We love STEM. Unfortunately the number of students taking up STEM subjects at school is low. So we’ve developed an education program, Generation Hydro, which allows teachers to harness the resources of Hydro Tasmania to get their students excited about STEM.

We are living through unprecedented times, but Tasmanians can rest assured Aurora Energy, Hydro Tasmania, TasNetworks and TasWater are doing what we can to support our community through this tough period.

No not that Clooney. Our Cluny is about 30m tall, largely made of concrete and surprisingly about six years younger.

When Eleanor first joined Hydro Tasmania as a Graduate Mechanical Engineer, she never imagined she’d end up trading energy on the National Electricity Market. But that’s the beauty of a graduate program—you get to explore different career paths and discover new passions along the way.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has inspected one of the most promising options for pumped hydro development on Tasmania’s West Coast.

Hydro Tasmania today welcomed the announcement by the Australian, Tasmanian and Victorian governments that they would proceed with investment in Marinus Link.
