Former Snowy Hydro boss Paul Broad labels 80 per cent renewable energy target 'bulls**t'

A bitter rift between the former boss of state-owned power provider Snowy Hydro and Federal Energy Minister Chris Bowen has widened following claims Labor's green energy plans are "bullshit".

Key points:

• Former Snowy Hydro boss Paul Broad has lashed out at federal Labor's green energy targets
• The outburst follows criticism of previous Snowy Hydro management by federal Energy Minister
• The exchange comes amid further cost and time blowouts at the Snowy 2.0 pumped-hydro project

Paul Broad, who ran Snowy Hydro until resigning shortly after Labor won office last year, launched an extraordinary attack against what he said were flawed plans to decarbonise the power system.

In an interview on commercial radio station 2GB, Mr Broad said the government would be unable to meet the target of Australia producing 82 per cent of its electricity supplies from renewable sources by 2030.

The outburst came just a day after it emerged that a project Mr Broad used to oversee — the massive Snowy 2.0 pumped hydro plant — had been hit by further cost and time blowouts.

Instead of being delivered at the end of 2027, Snowy Hydro yesterday conceded the project was unlikely to come online until as late as 2029 and cost even more than the current estimate of $5.9 billion.
