Board Directors Fees
All Snowy Hydro Board Directors are appointed by the Commonwealth Government by the Shareholder Ministers. Non-Executive Directors’ annual fees are set by the Remuneration Tribunal. Snowy Hydro has no role in determining the level of Board Director fees.
The Remuneration Tribunal regularly reviews and sets Board director fees for the roles of Chair and other Non-Executive Directors (excluding statutory superannuation contributions which are paid in addition to the fees set by the Remuneration Tribunal). Non-Executive Director fees cover all activities including Board membership and participation except in the case of the Audit and Compliance Committee where the Chair and members receive additional fees. Snowy Hydro has five additional Committees, namely the Safety, Operations and Environment Risk, Portfolio Risk, People & Culture, Snowy 2.0 and Snowy 2.0 Funding none of which are paid additional fees.
The following table sets out the Non-Executive Directors’ fees (excluding superannuation) as determined by the Tribunal and covering the financial years 2019 and 2020.
