Queensland's hydro project $4.2 billion over budget and three years over time.
"In the report there, it actually said that the former government had a less than one per cent chance of actually delivering this project in the time frame."
Australia's Snowy hydro project, $10 billion over budget and seven years over time.
Australia's Borumba $14.2 billion hydro project scheduled to start in 2025, prediction... I think you know.
While these large-scale hydro plants can use moving water to make huge amounts of electricity, there are serious drawbacks.
Solution: small-scale hydro plants.
Key benefits are easier to finance, profitable, scalable, use much smaller quantities of water, can operate without heavily affecting river flows, or disturbing the agriculture and wildlife around them.
