Caravan Park Price Equity Scheme
Power Price equity scheme for Caravan Park Residents
In May 2004, the Western Australian Government introduced the Power Price Equity Scheme for Permanent Caravan Park Residents.
The purpose of the Scheme is to ensure that permanent residents pay the same as other residential customers for their power and be eligible for energy rebates.
The key components of the Scheme are:
- From 1 July 2004, permanent caravan park residents who hold valid concession cards are eligible for the Scheme's energy subsidies.
- From 1 November 2004, permanent park residents will pay no more than Horizonn Power's uniform residential tariff of 13.94 cents (incl GST) per unit of electricity regardless of their geographic location or power supply arrangements.
- From 1 January 2004, permanent residents will be provided with itemised electricity accounts that clearly separate any electricity charges from other fees charged to residents, including rental charges.
NWIS/Regional Caravan Parks
The State Government recognises that caravan parks in the North West Interconnected System (from Karratha to Port Hedland) and regional off-grid power systems may be disadvantaged if they are paying business tariffs higher than the residential tariff. As a result, Horizon Power has developed the Caravan Park Tariff Compensation Program. For details refer to the Tariff Compensation Program below.
Horizon Power and the Office of Energy representatives worked with a number of key stakeholders during the implementation phase including the Caravan Industry Australia (WA) and the Park Home Owners' Association.
