As part of Western Power’s commitment to improving regional reliability, we’re actively implementing initiatives to reduce the duration of unplanned outages for homes and businesses that are supplied by long feeder lines.
Through our Regional Connect program, we’re engaging with these communities across the network to deliver solutions that improve power reliability.
In addition to delivering initial power reliability improvements, we’re testing innovative combinations of solutions such as remotely controlled devices and network reconfiguration to determine and enhance our ability to improve regional reliability.
In the medium-term, we’re considering alternative solutions such as additional back-up generation, energy storage solutions or new third-party reliability services.
