Aboriginal and Remote Communities Power Supply Project
The main objective of this power supply project is to obtain the best value, technically acceptable project package for a reliable supply of electricity to the communities of Bidyadanga, Ardyaloon (Bardi), Beagle Bay, Djarindjin/Lombadina and Warmun.
The project involves:
- a power procurement project;
- audit and upgrade of the distribution network;
- retail to customers at the uniform tariff.
A 10 year Power Purchase Agreement was signed on 28 August 2006 between Horizon Power and Energy Generation Pty Ltd (enGen) to build, own and operate the five new power stations.
This is a joint project with the Office of Energy, with funding provided by the State Government and Commonwealth Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.
A major milestone for the project was reached in Warmun community on 12 December 2006, when Horizon Power went "live" with retail services.
Further information on the power supply project can be obtained from the following newsletters.
