Regional power utility scaling renewable integration and remote-area infrastructure
Horizon Power operates a regional Australian utility serving areas where grid extension is economically unfeasible, combining legacy power-generation infrastructure with renewable energy integration. The tech stack is traditional for utilities—PowerFactory, SAP, Oracle, Excel—but the project list reveals active work on forecasting models, microgrid design, and first-nations energy solutions, while pain points cluster around renewable integration and battery storage, suggesting the organization is actively transitioning away from thermal-only operations.
Horizon Power is a government-owned utility in Western Australia (headquartered in Bentley) serving regional and remote communities where conventional grid connection is impractical. The company operates its own power generation, distribution, and retail functions. Core service areas include remote-area power supply, microgrids, renewable energy integration, and community consultation. Current work spans long-term network planning, demand forecasting, renewable and battery integration, and targeted programs for first-nations communities. The organization runs a mixed hiring velocity (decelerating) across engineering, operations, and support roles.
Primary stack includes PowerFactory (grid analysis), SAP and Oracle (ERP), Power BI (analytics), AWS (cloud), Python and R (modeling), and Excel. No major tech adoptions or replacements currently in motion.
Active projects include renewable energy integration, demand and energy forecasting models, battery storage evaluation, microgrid system studies, long-term network planning, and energy solutions tailored to first-nations communities.
