Horizon Power is in charge of distributing power to regional Western Australia. It services a vast area with only about 100,000 households in it. Since there are no alternatives where Horizon operates, unfortunately there are no ways to truly compare its prices.
One of Horizon's biggest distinguishing features is its community partnerships program. Horizon sponsors events, equipment or short-term projects for local non-profits and community organisations, providing up to $50,000 in funding.
There are a couple of other perks with Horizon:
Horizon Power is owned by the WA state government. It's the sole electricity provider for Western Australians in the majority of regional WA (covering 2.3 million square kilometres of land).
This includes:
| Daily Supply | Electricity Usage |
|---|---|
| $1.1924/day | 33.26 c/kWh |
| Daily Supply | Electricity usage: 0 - 20 kWh | Electricity usage: 20 - 1,650 kWh |
|---|---|---|
| $2.1041/day | 34.7481 c/kWh | 32.7455 c/kWh |
Yes. If you have an eligible solar system, Horizon Power will pay you for exported solar energy under the Distributed Energy Buyback Scheme (DEBS), similar to feed-in tariffs in other states.
The exact rate you get paid under DEBS will depend on 2 things: the town you live in and the time of day. Rates are split into peak hours of 3pm–9pm and off-peak the rest of the day.
Rates in each town are determined by the local cost of power generation and supply in those areas.
While Horizon Power isn't GreenPower-accredited (allowing customers to pay extra to support Australian renewables), it has a few green credits to its name.
However, Horizon Power is involved in a number of renewables projects, including wind, hydrogen and large-scale solar batteries across Goldfields-Esperance, Pilbara, the Kimberley, Gascoyne and Mid West regions.
In addition, Horizon worked with Synergy and the WA State Government to deliver the WA EV Network, an electric vehicle fast-charging network running from Kununurra in the north to Mundrabilla in the south. The WA Government announced its completion in January 2025.
