Horizon Power, a state-owned company in Western Australia, is on a mission to power remote towns in the north of the state with renewable energy sources. They are seeking five standalone renewable-first generators to supply power to towns like Broome, Derby, Camballin/Looma, Fitzroy Crossing, and Halls Creek. The company is interested in solutions backed by batteries or potentially hydrogen systems to meet the energy needs of over 10,000 homes and businesses. Contractors will face fines if their systems fail to meet the minimum annual renewable energy requirements. The focus is on exceeding the minimum renewable supply targets set for each town, with a preference for proposals that can help achieve this over the next 5-10 years. The company is open to various renewable energy sources including solar, wind, biomass, and even geothermal. While fossil fuels are not ruled out as a backup, Horizon Power favors options like gas over diesel. Horizon Power's efforts align with its goal to reduce costs associated with transporting and supplying diesel to remote areas. Their previous projects, like the Midwest Centralised Solar Project, have aimed at transitioning towns onto renewable microgrids to cut fossil fuel costs. The company is also actively involved in trials involving hydrogen plants and advanced battery storage systems to further the transition towards sustainable energy practices. With initiatives like testing vanadium flow batteries in remote locations and trialing hydrogen plants, Horizon Power is at the forefront of exploring innovative solutions for powering remote towns sustainably in Western Australia.
