Our first two years have been a period of significant learning and growth, marked by the successful transfer of 117 remote Aboriginal communities, major asset upgrades, and new renewable energy initiatives.
During this time, we’ve built strong community connections with Traditional Owners, visited more than 100 communities on Country, developed strategic partnerships with Regional Service Providers, and rolled out advanced metering pilots to improve customer access and safety.
These learnings, relationships, and early achievements have laid a strong foundation for Horizon Power to move into the delivery phase of the program, as we work to bring the reliability and safety of power services in remote communities in line with the rest of WA, partner with Community to deliver sustainable energy solutions, and meet our regulatory compliance obligations by 2031.
We are still at the beginning of this journey – but our direction is clear. This is a reflection of our unwavering dedication to improving power services in 117 remote communities and supporting the State Government’s goal of Closing the Gap by 2031.
Community engagement
Keeping communities powered
Supporting affordability
We’ve supported remote community residents by actively assisting with power meter top-ups and ensuring eligible customers receive the Household Electricity Credit. This year, more than 900 customers accessed these payments - an 80% increase from last year, helping to ease cost-of-living pressures and improve access to essential energy services.
Developing partnerships
Horizon Power acknowledges the Traditional Custodians throughout Western Australia and their continuing connection to the land, waters and community. We pay our respects to all members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and their cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.
We recognise and appreciate a continued connection through stories, traditions and living cultures and commit to building a brighter future together. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are advised that this presentation may contain images, names or voices of deceased people.
