A benchmark of 120% has been set, as this is considered to be achievable over the next 20 years and will be able to be demonstrated as a biodiversity gain. Under conditions specified in the Snowy 2.0 approvals, Snowy Hydro Limited must pay up to $92.9 million in biodiversity offsets to the National Parks and Wildlife Service by 2024.
