For connection applications relating to covered network (as defined in the Pilbara Networks Access Code (PNAC)). Horizon Power has prepared a User Access Guide as required under the PNAC. Please refer to User Access Guide for details regarding steps and timeframes.

Once the power supply is available at your property, contact us to open an electricity account and ask for a Customer Reference Number (CRN).

When your electrician or builder has completed their work, they will submit the necessary electrical notices to us for approval. When these have been approved, your electricity will be connected.

After you submit the application, you will receive a confirmation email with the application reference number. Where instructed to do so, you will need to provide the application reference number to your retailer.

Your retailer will need to provide confirmation that they will be supplying electricity at the new connection point by emailing pilbara@horizonpower.com.au.

      Supply

      Supply arrangement options Low voltage supply: These substations are generally suitable for loads up to 2MVA. Horizon Power owns and is responsible for all equipment within the substation. High voltage supply: These options are generally suitable for loads above 1MVA. The customer owns and is responsible for all equipment within the substation other than Horizon Power's metering unit and any high voltage switches connecting the substation to the Horizon Power network. Supply with higher levels of security: Please tick this option if you require a power supply arrangement with a greater level of security than is offered by the standard arrangements above.
      Low voltage power supply options

      There may be network operational or power quality reasons for installing either a district or sole-use substation. Horizon Power will therefore make the final decision.

      High voltage power supply options

      High voltage supplies are usually fed from a single network feeder. Whether you have a single or dual connection, a fault on the feeder will result in loss of supply until the feeder can be repaired.

      The above supply restoration times are indicative only and no guarantee of service is implied.

      Request quote

      Request to provide a formal quote

      Before you submit this application, please carefully read the information on this page. If you are a contractor or any person other than an applicant and you are submitting a new connection application or supply upgrade application (Connection Application) on behalf of the applicant, by completing and submitting a Connection Application you:

      • warrant that you have been authorised by the applicant to do so and that you have assumed complete responsibility for fully informing the applicant of all of the applicable terms and conditions prior to completing the application process.
      • acknowledge and understand that you may be required to provide a copy of the applicant’s explicit informed consent for the submission of this application if requested by Horizon Power up to 12 months from the date of submission of this application and that Horizon Power may contact the applicant to confirm that they have provided their consent to me completing and submitting this application on their behalf.

      Conditions of request to provide a formal quote

      1. No obligation to proceed

      Submission of a new connection or supply upgrade application (Connection Application) does not oblige you to proceed with the electricity infrastructure works unless you accept our formal quote.

      2. Large connections

      If your connection will have a total maximum load greater than 1000kVA or 10% of the relevant systems peak load, Horizon Power reserves the right to amend these terms and conditions or impose new conditions in connection with your Connection Application.

      3. Design fee

      A formal quote is free of charge for connections that will have a total maximum demand of 30 kVA or less. 
      A design fee is payable for connections with a total maximum load of more than 30 kVA or connections which will require CT metering that will result in an increase in the load capacity at the relevant site. The design fee is specified in the Fees and Charges section of Horizon Power’s website at www.horizonpower.com.au. Horizon Power will issue you with a tax invoice for the design fee (if applicable) after Horizon Power receives the completed Connection Application form from you. Horizon Power will only commence preparation of the detailed design and formal quote when this fee (if applicable) is paid.

      4. Cost of the design fee may increase

      If the actual costs incurred by Horizon Power in preparing the detailed design and formal quote exceed the design fee, the difference will be incorporated into the formal quote and will be payable by you in accordance with the terms and conditions attached to the formal quote.

      5. Design fee non-refundable

      The design fee is not refundable, even if you decide not to instruct Horizon Power to proceed with the electricity infrastructure works.

      6. Additional charges

      You must pay Horizon Power any amounts requested by Horizon Power in relation to re-doing or varying the formal quote due to any material amendment to the project described in your Connection Application.

      7. Statutory approvals and clearances

      You are responsible for obtaining any statutory approvals such as planning approval and approvals in relation to heritage, Native title, Aboriginal heritage, flora and fauna or any vegetation clearances from the appropriate government body or agent in relation to the proposed electricity infrastructure works at your own cost. These approvals (if any) should be obtained at the same time as the Connection.
      Application process.

      8. Execution of Standard Form Contract or other power supply agreement

      If you accept the formal quote, you will be required to enter into a Standard Form Contractor other power supply agreement with Horizon Power, which Standard Form Contract or power supply agreement will detail the price you will pay for electricity supplied by Horizon Power.

      The commercial rate at which Horizon Power will supply electricity will be given to you with the formal quote. Where you have been required to enter into a power supply agreement other than a Standard Form Contract, a copy of that agreement will be attached to the formal quote.

      Payment

      Horizon Power will prepare and forward a tax invoice to you for the design fee (if applicable) (as outlined above) once we have received a properly completed Connection Application form. Your payment options will be listed at the bottom of that invoice.
