Electricity prices are being increased to bring the price of electricity more in line with the cost of supplying electricity to Western Australians.

Horizon Power remains committed to working with customers to promote energy efficiency. Horizon Power will commence its Betterways campaign in the coming months to inform customers of energy efficiency measures that can be implemented to effectively reduce energy costs and reduce personal greenhouse emissions.
