Introducing New Connection Application Form for Remote Communities
Horizon Power has introduced a New Connection Application Form specifically for remote communities. This form is designed to make it easier and quicker to connect to Horizon Power's electricity network.

We pay our respects to all members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and their cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.
We recognise and appreciate a continued connection through stories, traditions and living cultures and commit to building a brighter future together. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are advised that this presentation may contain images, names or voices of deceased people.
