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
We recently joined Synergy to support Dandelions WA in their ‘Back to School’ campaign, where in just one day, 14 volunteers packed 500 backpacks filled with school supplies for children in need across regional and remote Western Australia. Dandelions WA provides essential items, support and personalised kindness to Western Australians in need – from crisis relief and school supplies to community recovery – powered entirely by volunteers and the generosity of the WA community. Our team also prepared hygiene packs for students who may not have access to basic items, a simple gesture that can make a big difference in a young person’s day. The day was wrapped by sharing a cup of tea with Dandelions WA’s regular volunteers, whose stories of resilience, compassion and community spirit were particularly moving.
This year, our incredible Horizon Power Lifeblood team has made 112 blood donations, including 56 whole blood, 48 plasma and 8 platelets - potentially saving 336 lives. With 136 registered team members, we’re proud to support initiatives like Metallica Rocks Lifeblood, with two dedicated Horizon Power teams and several individuals (including a few first-time donors) rolling up their sleeves. As Metallica hit the stage in Perth over the weekend, our people were doing their own heavy lifting, donating blood and plasma to help save lives. At Horizon Power, we encourage employees to donate during work hours and use their volunteer leave to give back in this powerful way.
Horizon Power acknowledges the Traditional Custodians throughout Western Australia and their continuing connection to the land, waters and community. We pay our respects to all members of the Aboriginal communities and their cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.
