The Snowy Valleys region is set to become an even better destination for electric vehicle (EV) owners with the installation of ten public EV charging stations.
Snowy Hydro is supporting Snowy Valleys Council (SVC) to install and maintain the new charging stations which will be strategically located in Khancoban, Adelong, Talbingo, Tumbarumba and Tumut.
“Installing these EV chargers is a significant step forward in making the Snowy Valleys a welcoming destination for electric vehicle owners,” said SVC Interim General Manager, Steven Pinnuck.
“We are pleased to be working together with Snowy Hydro leveraging our combined resources and expertise to deliver critical infrastructure that will benefit our residents and visitors alike,” he said.
Snowy Hydro CEO, Dennis Barnes, said supporting the EV charging stations initiative with the council strengthened the company’s ongoing commitment to local communities and the regional economy.
“Partnering with Snowy Valleys Council to install these EV charging stations is a tangible way we can contribute to a cleaner future,” he said.
“By supporting the expansion of EV infrastructure, we’re not only enhancing the convenience for electric vehicle owners but also fostering the region’s appeal as a destination for both residents and visitors.
“As a company we are committed to sustainable growth in the communities where we operate. The new charging stations will play a crucial role in the region’s transition to sustainable transport, ensuring that the Snowy Valleys region remains at the forefront of the shift towards a low-carbon future.”
The new charging stations will be installed on council-managed land in Khancoban (Shopping Centre Carpark), Tumbarumba (Union Lane Carpark), Tumut (RHB Carpark), Adelong (Golden Gully Park) and Talbingo (Shopping Centre Carpark).
