Horizon Power is now offering Sunshine Saver to customers in the Mid West towns of Cue, Yalgoo, Sandstone, Wiluna, Meekatharra and Norseman.
Initially launched in Esperance in October 2023, Sunshine Saver is an opt-in subscription subscription-based plan designed to help customers who do not have access to rooftop solar to save on their energy bills. With our investment in the local renewable energy farms generating lower cost energy, we are able to pass these savings onto our customers.
Sunshine Saver is available for renters, concession card holders, and customers identified with ongoing financial challenges. Sunshine Saver customers are guaranteed to save a minimum of $197 annually and can increase savings more by using energy between 6am and 6pm, when our solar farms are generating power.
In November 2023, a $19.9 million investment from the Federal and WA State Governments boosted the program enabling this expansion to the additional six Gascoyne and Mid West towns. This funding boost also supports the State Government’s Kimberley Communities Solar Saver program. It's installing rooftop solar in five remote Kimberley communities, easing living costs for many.
CEO Stephanie Unwin is proud of Sunshine Saver's expansion. She highlighted Horizon Power's push for energy equity and for all to enjoy the shift to sustainable energy.
The product supports the State Government’s Distributed Energy Resources Roadmap and 2030 emissions reduction goal.
Horizon Power staff visited Cue, Meekatharra, Sandstone, Yalgoo, and Wiluna in late May and met with customers eager to know more and start saving with Sunshine Saver.
If you live in an eligible town you can sign up online or by calling 1800 267 926.

Attention Broome Residents 🌳 Community Notice: Tree Trimming Your safety is our top priority! Horizon Power will be in the area trimming trees to ensure a safe and reliable power supply. If trees aren't safely trimmed to greater than 5 metres from powerlines it can cause fires, serious accidents and loss of power, posing serious risks to our community. While tree trimming is typically the owner's responsibility, Horizon Power will step in if there is a safety risk. Please note, we are not arborists and cannot accommodate specific trimming requests. The branches on shire property will be collected, but this may take a few days—we appreciate your patience. For more information on maintaining a safe community, click below.
