Horizon Power’s Community Partnerships Program supports regional WA development
Over five hundred regional initiatives funded since launch
Next funding round opens mid-July, focused on wellbeing and accessibility
Horizon Power, listed under the ASX 200 index as WA-based utility provider (ASX:HRZ), continues to drive regional upliftment through its Community Partnerships Program. Operating in the utilities sector, the company focuses on delivering essential energy services across regional and remote areas of Western Australia. The latest allocation of funds reinforces the company's commitment to community enrichment in areas vital to the state’s resources and energy landscape.
The Community Partnerships Program, initiated by Horizon Power under the guidance of the Western Australian Government, is designed to enhance community infrastructure and support initiatives that contribute to social wellbeing. The latest distribution sees numerous new community programs across major mining and rural districts receiving vital financial assistance. With operations touching key regions like the Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne, Mid West, Goldfields, and Esperance, Horizon Power reinforces its presence not just as an energy supplier but as a community partner.
Amber-Jade Sanderson, the Energy and Decarbonisation Minister, emphasized the broad scope of the initiatives supported, highlighting that the program prioritizes inclusivity and broad accessibility. The initiatives are not only about energy reliability but also encompass support for local events, mental health services, youth development, and health-focused activities. Each partnership aligns with the broader strategy of enhancing regional liveability while maintaining sustainable development frameworks.
Since its inception, the Community Partnerships Program has backed hundreds of projects that collectively strengthen the cultural and social fabric of WA’s regional landscape. This effort supports long-term regional sustainability goals by equipping local organizations with tools to run inclusive and impactful programs. Horizon Power’s collaboration with these organizations helps ensure that their efforts are visible, viable, and supported through every phase of implementation.
The application process for the next round of community support is scheduled to begin in mid-July, presenting another opportunity for grassroots and regionally-focused entities to secure assistance. This structured rollout allows communities to plan and develop their proposals in alignment with the program's criteria, which prioritize measurable benefits to health, wellbeing, and community connection.
This initiative exemplifies a broader trend among ASX 200 listed companies like Horizon Power in aligning their operational mandates with corporate social responsibility. By weaving community development into its business model, Horizon Power strengthens its reputation within the energy index while contributing meaningfully to the regions it serves. The continuation of this program signals sustained momentum toward balanced development across Western Australia, especially in areas traditionally underserved by centralized infrastructure.
