Horizon Power Review - Need a New Connection?

Why Horizon Power?

If you live in the more rural or remote regions of Western Australia, you’ve probably heard of Horizon. Operating with its entire focus on regional WA, Horizon Power provides residential and business electricity to over 100,000 residents and 10,000 business.

Horizon Power operates using a very decentralised delivery model. This is designed so they can be as agile as possible when meeting the needs of their consumer base, and so they can immediately respond to any problems a customer might have. Horizon is one of many state-owned electricity suppliers in Western Australia and has the capabilities to both generate and retail electricity and gas. This also makes them 100% Australian owned and operated! Electricity Monster can help some West Australians compare energy retailers, so if you’re with Horizon and are considering changing, pick up the phone.

Supply Area

Horizon Power is a record holder, at least according to them. With a service area stretching over 2 million miles but containing only 100,000 customers, they have the highest service area to customer ratio in the world! They estimate that they have one customer ever 53 miles.

Their vast service area stretches from Kalumburu in the north to Denham in the west and Esperance in the south, but they also serve some areas in the South West.

About

A product of government deregulation in 2006, Horizon Power traces its roots in the community back over 60 years. Initially responsible for the mere physical network and the transportation side of electricity, Horizon has grown into a popular provider and generator.

Market Offers

Horizon Power is very transparent with its customers. You can find detailed and comprehensive pricing plans on their website. This goes for both business and residential customers. They’re also very interested in renewables and have some very interesting solar packages for you to look at.

Generation

Horizon Power prides themselves on their expertise and experience when it comes to microgrids. They compete on a global scale in this arena, holding one of the largest portfolios of remote power grids in the world.

In more recent times Horizon has commissioned the construction of the Onslow Power Plant, a modular power plant, that will help serve the energy needs of that community. The new Onslow plant will provide power via a combination of distributed renewables, gas powered generation and battery storage.
