Projects

Horizon Power builds, owns and operates power stations throughout our service area. In Marble Bar, Nullagine and Carnarvon, Horizon Power owns the power stations. In other regions, power is purchased from stations owned by Independent Power Producers, such as in Esperance, Broome and Kununurra.

Our major projects include the construction of new power stations, major asset renewal programs and construction of underground infrastructure.

All of our projects are designed to improve the reliability and quality of power supply to customers.
