Our Big Battery is now live in Kwinana, we're expanding the Warradarge Wind Farm, the WA EV Network has launched, and we have many other projects in the works.
We're a purpose-driven organisation, owned by the people of WA. Our commitment is to ensure all Western Australians have access to secure, reliable, and sustainable energy.
We believe that the benefits of renewable energy aren't just for some, they're for everyone.
This is where you come in.
