Greenhouse Effect
Horizon Power is committed to reducing the level of emissions from its power generating plants. As an outcome of the Regional Power Procurement Program, new environmentally friendlier power stations have been constructed in regional towns by Independent Power Producers.
In some towns, such as Esperance and Exmouth, the new power stations use cleaner fuel, natural gas, which reduces the amount of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.
