The Federal and State Governments have completed the rollout of the Kimberley Communities Solar Saver (KCSS) program, delivering more than $240,000 in energy-saving credits to households across six remote Kimberley communities.
Delivered by Horizon Power, KCSS supports households that may not otherwise be able to access individual rooftop solar systems. Solar panels are installed across selected homes, with the benefits shared among households through regular energy-saving credits.
The program now provides energy-saving credits to around 480 households in Warmun, Bidyadanga, Ardyaloon, Yungngora, Beagle Bay, and Mowanjum, helping reduce electricity costs while supporting cleaner and more reliable energy in remote communities.
With installations completed in Mowanjum in August 2026, households in all six participating communities are now receiving energy-saving credits through the program, marking the completion of the rollout.
Approximately 1.5 megawatts of rooftop solar capacity has been installed across the six communities, helping reduce reliance on high-cost diesel generation while increasing the use of locally generated renewable energy.
The Kimberley Communities Solar Saver program is jointly funded by the Australian and Western Australian Governments through the Community Solar Banks Program.
