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.

News & latest updates
👋 Hello Exmouth 👋 We’re excited to announce that the first few rows of solar panels have been successfully installed and by mid-August, we expect approximately 3/4 of all the panels to be in place, bringing your community closer to a more sustainable future. In the coming weeks, the dedicated team at Pacific Energy will begin installing the permanent fencing around the site. This is a crucial step in ensuring the ongoing safety and security of the solar farm. 🚧 Safety reminder 🚧 For the safety of your community, visitors and our site workers, please remember: ⚠️ Respect all signage and do not drive past signs that clearly state Do Not Enter. ⚠️ Do not move or tamper with any temporary fencing or barriers. We know some of you are curious to come and see the solar farm up close, but for safety reasons, we can’t accommodate any site visits while construction is underway. Once the farm is complete, we’ll look at safe ways for the community to learn more about the project - so stay tuned! Your cooperation is greatly appreciated as we work together to bring this project to completion. Thanks in advance for helping keep our workers - and your community - safe. Please feel free to share this post to keep everyone informed. For more information, feel free to contact our Carnarvon depot on (08) 9941 6299.
