Horizon Power’s technology boosts solar access to regional WA

Horizon Power’s Smart Connect Solar technology has been expanded to the North West Interconnected System and 20 other unconstrained towns in regional Western Australia. The state-of-the-art technology will increase access to renewable energy to the towns and is as part of a state-wide program which was launched by Horizon Power in Carnarvon last month. The Smart Connect Solar project is removing hosting capacity constraints which limits solar installations across regional towns, enabling thousands of additional customers to install rooftop solar, realise energy bill savings, and improving the safety and stability of the state’s electricity network. The technology has been launched in the NWIS towns of Karratha, Port Hedland, South Hedland, Point Samson, Cossack and Roebourne, in the Pilbara. It has also been rolled out in 20 towns in the Kimberley, Mid West and Gascoyne a... more
