Goldfields-Esperance Region – More Solar is Coming
When the grid simply can’t handle how much electricity rooftop solar will produce, you need to find ways to increase the grids capacity, so there’s more choice for everyone. It’s powerful thoughts like this that will soon help us power regional WA.
Through innovative trials like SmartSun in Broome, we have found ways to safely increase the grids solar capacity. This means you now have the option to power your home and business rooftop solar. The upcoming release of 900kw will allow 150 homes and businesses to join the solar community.

Wind Power Arrives in Esperance
Renewable power blew into Esperance last week as Horizon Power’s wind turbines arrived at the Esperance Port. The massive 74 metre long blades have been transported to Shark Lake where they will form part of the renewable energy precinct.
A Horizon Power representative said that there would be two wind turbines and 8900 solar panels that will combine to supply 46 per cent of Esperance’s energy requirements. The Shark Lake Renewable Energy Precinct currently under construction is expected to be finished and in operation by next year. The renewable energy precinct will support Horizon Powers new gas fired power station that is currently being built on Harbour Road.
