‘Mono Steel’ Signature at Hydroelectric Power Plant in Australia

Mono Steel is also in the second phase of Snowy 2.0 Hydroelectric Power Plant, one of the biggest projects in Australia. Mono Steel’s task in this project is to produce the steel structures of the 2nd phase designed for renewable energy…

Continuing its mega project in America, Mono Steel is going to the other side of the world, to Australia this time. Mono Steel, which was appreciated for its performance and quality workmanship in the 1st phase of the Snowy 2.0 Hydroelectric Power Plant Project, which was partially completed in 2020,
It is justifiably proud of taking part in the 2nd stage as well.

In addition to being one of the biggest projects in Australia, Snowy 2.0, which is aimed to set an example to the world with its clean energy production, is a project that has been ongoing since 2017. The first phase of the project was completed in 2020. Now the process of connecting the dams and storing energy begins. A new underground power station is planned to be built in the second phase, which will connect the two existing dams, Tantangara and Talbingo, with 27 km tunnels. The task of this underground power plant is very important. When the underground power plant produces excess renewable energy and the energy demand is low, the water goes to the upper dam; when electricity demand is high, it will pump water back into the lower dam to generate energy. In this way, the water reuses in a closed cycle and will become recyclable.

The first power produced in Snowy 2.0, which is planned to be completed with a “4.5 Billion Dollar” capital, is planned to be delivered in early 2025. It is expected that six production units will then be put into operation gradually. As well as being Australia’s largest renewable energy project, the project will support consumers’ safe and stable transition to a low-cost, low-carbon future. The project will provide approximately 350,000 megawatt-hours of large-scale storage through on-demand generation capacity. That’s enough energy storage to power 3 million homes for a week.

Famous business person, CEO of Mono Steel, which will start shipments in March for the second phase of Snowy 2.0, Mustafa Toprakçeken explains the project with these words; “Snowy 2.0 is a project we have worked on before. We contributed to the construction of the additional buildings and storage areas of the power plant in the first phase. Now we are involved in the construction of the underground tunnels and the underground storage center. We will continue to be an important part of the project until 2023. Our facility in Sakarya. , we will produce the steel structures and auxiliary elements required for the tunnels. And they will set off from Turkey for the biggest and most important project of Australia. This is a proud job for our company, our employees and our country. There will be steel structures with the words ‘Made in Turkey’ written in the tunnels.
