Question: Can you figure out which energy project is photographed above and
what is shown?
Answer: The photograph is of Snowy Hydro’s Hunter Gas Power Station Project
(HPP) under construction at Kurri Kurri, NSW, showing the massive gas storage
in the foreground and the 660 megawatt power station in the distance.
If you look closely at the two cleared paddocks, each about a kilometre in
length, and ignore the destroyed flora and fauna, you will spot rows and rows
of pipes laid end-to-end ready for welding together.
In all there are 2,058 high-strength steel pipes – 12 metres long, 1.07 metres
diameter, and 30 millimetres thick. Plus there are more than 50 half-circle
segments to connect the ends of adjacent rows.
When welded together and buried the pipes will form a 24 kilometre
back-and-forth pipeline, capable of storing 70 terajoules of gas."
