Western Power exists to solve one of Western Australia's most critical challenges: delivering safe, reliable, and affordable electricity to 2.3 million customers across the south west of the state while enabling a once-in-a-generation transition to renewable energy. As a State Government-owned corporation, Western Power is responsible for building, maintaining, and operating the vast transmission and distribution network that forms the backbone of the South West Interconnected System (SWIS), connecting homes, businesses, and essential community infrastructure to an increasingly renewable energy mix.
For over 70 years, Western Power has been the guardian of Western Australia's energy grid, and today the organization stands at the forefront of the energy revolution. The company is executing an ambitious strategy to expand transmission capacity, integrate microgrids and battery storage solutions, and create autonomous networks that can withstand the challenges of climate change. This one-in-generation expansion - estimated to require unprecedented growth in transmission infrastructure - is unlocking industrial decarbonisation, service renewable generation, and driving regional economic growth. With a vision of "working together to power a cleaner energy future," Western Power is investing $126 million in planning works across northern, central, and eastern corridors, ensuring the grid remains resilient while supercharging Western Australia's vibrant lifestyle for decades to come.
