Western Power is the business responsible for managing and operating the electricity system. This means that Western Power coordinates the supply from private and publicly owned power stations to meet the demand for electricity consumers.
Right now, the system is under pressure because there is a dramatic shortage of gas for power generators due to a fault on the North West Shelf Gas Plant and Western Power has to ask everyone to reduce their use. If we all use less electricity right now there should be enough power for all.
