Wind energy is harnessed in the towns of Esperance, Denham, Exmouth and Hopetoun. The use of this "free" natural resource offsets the amount of fuel used to provide power to our customers in these towns and also reduces the amount of greenhouse gas emissions.
Due to the success of wind farms in Western Australia, a project is currently underway to increase the size of the Hopetoun wind farm with an additional turbine. A new 3 turbine wind farm is also proposed for the settlement of Coral Bay.
The use of renewable energy from the wind and sun is increasing in Western Australia.
Harnessing energy from the wind offsets the amount of fuel used to generate power.
Although bioenergy is not used as a generation source by Horizon Power, this form of energy comes from a biological source of breakdown of once living organisms.
Solar Power has a number of applications including hot water systems and power generation.
Horizon Power is committed to doing all we can to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to lesson the impact of energy use on the environment. One way you can help is by choosing to buy green energy.
