Horizon Power
Horizon Power serves regional and remote Western Australia outside the South West Interconnected System, across many separate town networks rather than one grid. That structure drives everything else here: capacity is a question about the specific town, and an answer that held in one town tells you nothing about the next.
What they assess
- Capacity is assessed per town
- Available capacity is reported back during the application rather than assumed from a statewide position, because each town network is assessed on its own terms.
- Smart Connect Solar changes the capacity picture
- Where a town is Smart Connect Solar enabled, generation is actively managed instead of capped by a fixed hosting limit — so whether a town has been enabled is the fact that determines what is possible there.
Where it snags
In Smart Connect Solar towns the installer needs a micro-accreditation and a registration with SwitchDin's commissioning portal before the Secure Gateway Device can be commissioned. This one bites at commissioning rather than at application, so it is worth confirming while quoting — the approval can be in hand and the job still cannot be completed.

Treat capacity as a per-town fact with a date on it. Towns are being enabled progressively, so a limit someone hit on an earlier job is not evidence of the position in that town today, let alone in a neighbouring one. Horizon Power — what is generation management

Confirm the distributor from the bill, NMI record or connection approval before relying on this page. Embedded networks, remote grids and private networks may use a different authority. The connection offer and the site-specific approval override anything general, here or on the distributor’s own site. Reviewed 2026-08-08.
