Operating a generating portfolio of over 6,000MW, Snowy provides the essential on-demand backup required to maintain a reliable and secure energy system. Snowy’s unique mix of hydroelectricity and fast-start gas power stations acts as a safety net for the national electricity market, supporting the ongoing transition to renewable energy.

Through its retail brands Red Energy and Lumo Energy, Snowy serves more than 1.6 million homes and businesses across the grid. Winner of a Canstar Blue award for customer service for 15 years in a row, Red Energy has been named Australia’s most trusted utility brand by Roy Morgan for the second time.
