Executives at Snowy Hydro, the New South Wales renewable energy company, received bonuses totalling $751,925 in the last financial year, according to annual reports. The bonuses were paid even though the renewable energy project's cost rose to 12 times its original estimate. Guardian Australia reports that chief executive Dennis Barnes, whose base salary is $1,845,126, chose not to accept the extra cash. The reports also show that the chief of CSIRO received an extra $200,000.

📊 What it means for markets

News about executive pay and project overruns is usually company-specific and has little direct effect on broad markets. It may matter for investors in Snowy Hydro or for debate over public infrastructure spending in Australia.
