About us

Our customers live and work across 2.3 million square kilometres, stretching from Esperance in the south to Kununurra in the north and a whole list of other incredible places in between. This makes us responsible for delivering energy solutions across the largest geographical catchment of any Australian power provider – and it’s a responsibility we take very seriously. We work and live in the regions we serve - and we work hard to make sure our customers receive safe and reliable power. Our customers face a number of different challenges across different locations - and we’re here to understand and help address those challenges. We recognise we have a special role in upholding what’s special about WA. This includes supporting WA businesses and communities, respecting the landscape and maintaining our commitment to our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

    "In amongst our busy working lives, it’s so important to pause, appreciate what you have, and to see where you can give back through volunteering, whether that be a one-off event, or on an ongoing basis" ---Ray Achemedei How we show up in everything we do is what makes our culture at Horizon Power. Thanks for sharing Ray and congratulations to everyone who volunteered this year through our partner organisations. Volunteering WA

    Last week I spent an inspiring morning volunteering at Dandelions WA. This incredible organisation helps children in need throughout WA by supplying school backpacks full of stationery items, a lunch box, water bottle, hat and toiletries.   The event was organised by Volunteering WA for their Corporate Volunteer Council, which is made up of Horizon Power, Bankwest, Beyond Bank, BHP, Deloitte, RAC WA, Rio Tinto and Woodside Energy. Together we packed over 500 backpacks! The bags have already been sent to kids in need so that they can start the 2025 school year on an equal footing with their peers.   In amongst our busy working lives, it’s so important to pause, appreciate what you have, and to see where you can give back through volunteering, whether that be a one-off event, or on an ongoing basis. Volunteers are the heart of a community, and at Horizon Power, our employees have opportunities to help a range of not-for-profit organisations through our corporate volunteering program. I’m really proud that we’re able to give back and contribute to vibrant communities throughout regional WA.

    Great news for Norseman and the Mid West! We're excited to announce that the Mid West Solar Program has reached its final milestone. A centralised solar farm and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) have launched in Norseman, WA. This makes Norseman the sixth regional WA town to benefit from this program. Norseman's new 758kW solar system and 336kWh BESS are now operational, following the solar farms installed in Cue, Sandstone, Yalgoo, Meekatharra, and Wiluna. With these towns using more renewable energy, it will cut carbon emissions and reduce reliance on diesel. 🌱 Our CEO, Stephanie Unwin, said, "The Mid West Solar Program is one of many clean energy projects Horizon Power is proudly delivering to our regions." The $15.1 million Mid West Solar Program was supported with $13.5 million in Commonwealth funding and proudly delivered in partnership with Pacific Energy. #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #GreenEnergy #HorizonPower #MidWestSolarProgram

  • Last month was full of achievements and milestones - as our future workforce continues to grow and develop... We're excited to welcome three new (great) apprentices to the team - Scott in Carnarvon, Kelly in Broome and Phil in Karratha. All three have started their line worker qualifications and are strongly supported by our regional depot teams, Apprenticeships Support Australia, and Energy Skills Solutions (ESS). We now have apprentices in all our regions, and ten apprentices in total. We'd also like to congratulate three of our engineering graduates - Michael in Esperance, Amie in Broome and Kaveen in Karratha. They've reached the halfway mark of their regional rotation. Some of our engineering graduates recently showcased their talents and knowledge at industry events at Water Corporation, Curtin Uni and UWA. We take great pride in our team's dedication and achievements - as they continue their journey in helping to reshape WA's energy future! ⚡ #FutureWorkforce #HorizonPower #CareerGrowth #apprenticeships #engineering
