Aboriginal and Remote Communities Power Supply Project Phase Two
The Aboriginal and Remote Communities Power Supply Project (ARCPSP) is a significant project aimed at improving the quality, safety, reliability and affordability of power supplies in remote Aboriginal communities.
The program is funded by the State Government (Office of Energy) and the Commonwealth Department of Family, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.
After successfully completing the upgrade of power supplies in six remote Aboriginal communities in December 2007 as part of ARCPSP Phase One, Horizon Power is set to begin work on the first two of ten further communities located in regional Western Australia as part of ARCPSP Phase Two.
The project will involve constructing a new power station and upgrading the electricity network in the communities. Residents and businesses will use pre-payment cards to pay for electricity and will be eligible to receive electricity at government-gazetted uniform tariff rates.
