Welcome to the Horizon Power Pilbara Network

Horizon Power Pilbara Network is a ring fenced business unit within Horizon Power responsible for managing Horizon Power's network in the North West Interconnected System (NWIS) which is a covered network under the Pilbara Networks Access Code 2021.

This site is for applicants looking for access, new connections and supply upgrade to Horizon Power's covered NWIS network.

Horizon Power Pilbara Network

Horizon Power owns transmission and distribution assets across Western Australia, including the North West Interconnected System (NWIS).

On 2 February 2018, the then Minister for Energy announced that these network assets in the NWIS be covered under the Electricity Networks Access Code 2004.

The Western Australian State Government has subsequently implemented a new light-handed regulatory regime under the Pilbara Networks Access Code 2021, which will cover the access and use of certain covered electricity networks in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (Pilbara Electricity Reforms) including Horizon Power’s network in the NWIS (Horizon Power coastal network).

From the Pilbara Electricity Reform coverage commencement date of 1 July 2021:

  • access seekers can negotiate the terms of access with Horizon Power to Horizon Power's coastal network; and
  • Horizon Power Pilbara Network is a ring fenced business unit within Horizon Power responsible for managing Horizon Power's coastal network.

Are you looking for access to the Horizon Power coastal network?

Although anyone can apply for access, due to the costs, process and practicality, applicants or access seekers will typically be a current or future retailer in the NWIS, major industrial load or generator.
