Powering country,
strengthening community

We partner with remote Aboriginal communities across the Kimberley to deliver solar and battery power — replacing costly diesel with clean, reliable energy that stays on when the roads go under.

Our purpose

Every remote community deserves reliable, affordable, clean power

117 remote Aboriginal communities in WA still rely on diesel. Solar costs a fraction of the price. The transition is happening — we make sure Kimberley communities lead it, benefit from it, and own it.

What we do

Feasibility. Management. Build.

Feasibility studies

Solar resource assessment, energy audits, cost modelling, and ownership options — fully funded by government grants, zero cost to you.

Project management

Grant applications, community consultation, stakeholder coordination, construction oversight — we handle the process so you lead the decisions.

Complete build-outs

Solar panels, battery storage, and microgrids designed for Kimberley conditions — cyclone-rated, flood-resilient, with local jobs from day one.

Interested in clean energy for your community?

Government grants fund the full feasibility study. No cost. The study is yours. No obligation.

Kimberley Energy Corporation grew from years of working alongside remote Aboriginal communities in the Fitzroy Valley. Through NDIS disability support services, we saw firsthand how unreliable, expensive power affects the most vulnerable people in some of Australia's most remote places.

When the Fitzroy River peaked at 15.81 metres in January 2023 — the highest flood in recorded Western Australian history — communities were cut off for weeks. Diesel couldn't get through. Medical equipment, the clinic, the school — all dependent on fuel that was suddenly undeliverable.

That experience made the case for solar and battery power impossible to ignore. Not as a luxury — as essential resilience infrastructure.

The opportunity

117 communities. One energy transition.

In 2023, Horizon Power took responsibility for 117 remote Aboriginal communities in WA. Most still run on diesel at 25–30¢/kWh. Solar costs ~7¢. The economics are overwhelming.

Federal and state governments are investing billions. Communities that are ready — with feasibility studies, project plans, and capable partners — will be first to benefit.

Where we're heading

Towards genuine Aboriginal ownership

We're working with Aboriginal co-founders to establish a majority Indigenous-owned entity under the CATSI Act — genuine board control, genuine profit sharing, economic benefit staying on country where it belongs.
