Horizon Power is a unique energy utility in that it is responsible for the generation, procurement, distribution and retailing of electricity supplies.

1 July 2023 transfer of the management and delivery of power services for additional 117 remote communities from Department of Communities to Horizon Power required Horizon Power to assume responsibility for the services and infrastructure ‘as is’. 

While visual inspections of many assets were undertaken prior to transfer of responsibility, the structural integrity and remaining useful life of steel network/consumer poles and bulk fuel storage tanks in remote communities remain unknown and may pose a risk to Horizon Power and its customers.  Pole and fuel tank failures may lead to safety, health and environmental issues, prolonged outages and non-compliance.

Understanding the structural integrity and status of the existing poles and fuel tank will inform optimisation of asset lifecycle costs while maintaining an acceptable safety and reliability risk profile for Horizon Power.
