About Us

What we do

Horizon Power is Western Australia's regional and remote electricity provider.

We are a State Government-owned, commercially-focused Corporation that provides quality, safe and reliable power to more than 100,000 residents and 9000 businesses, including major industry, across regional Western Australia.

Horizon Power is a unique energy utility in that it is responsible for the generation, procurement, distribution and retailing of electricity supplies.

How we do it

Horizon Power manages two major interconnected systems, the North West Interconnected System (NWIS) in the Pilbara and the interconnected transmission network between Kununurra and Wyndham, as well as 36 non-interconnected or islanded systems in regional towns and remote communities.

We service every part of the State outside the south west corner - 2.3 million square kilometres covering the Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne, Mid West and Southern Goldfields (including Esperance, Norseman and Hopetoun) regions.

What sets us apart is our passion and ability to deliver safe and reliable supplies in the most challenging of environments. The energy systems we operate are exposed to intense heat and cyclonic conditions in the north to ravaging storms in the south.

Horizon Power operates from a head office in Karratha, with our administrative centre based in Perth. We also have offices in Kununurra, Broome, Port Hedland, Carnarvon and Esperance.

What we believe in

Our purpose is to create intergenerational assets from Horizon Power's activities by maximising the social, environmental and economic benefits for our customers and the communities in which we operate.

Developing the resource-rich Pilbara region and other resource hubs in Western Australia is a core component of our business strategy, ensuring that industry can access reliable and efficient sources of power.

Extending our service to more remote communities and upgrading power supplies to improve the safety, reliability and affordability of supply is another way in which we deliver on our commitment to regional and remote Western Australia.

Connecting communities to upgraded power supplies is just part of the picture. Improving the quality of life for people in communities in remote and regional areas is another part.

We are focused on creating opportunities which assist in the development of communities by providing training and employment, sponsoring community events and programs and delivering education programs to local school children.

Our dedicated staff ensure a high quality of service by working in a professional, agile and engaging manner.
