Kimberley solar credits are now reaching every community in the Kimberley Communities Solar Saver programme, following the final installations at Mowanjum. More than $240,000 in energy-saving credits has already been paid to households across six remote Western Australian communities.
Rollout complete: Kimberley solar credits reach all six communities
Around 480 households in Mowanjum, Warmun, Beagle Bay, Bidyadanga, Ardyaloon and Yungngora now receive credits through the programme. It is delivered by Horizon Power, the state-owned utility that supplies regional Western Australia.
What was installed
About 1.5 megawatts of rooftop solar is now in place across the six communities, helping to ease their reliance on costly diesel-fired power. The programme doesn’t put panels on every house. Instead, it installs systems on selected rooftops and shares the credits across the wider community. That means families who could never have afforded their own solar panels still see the savings on their power bills.
The programme began in Warmun in June 2024. The last installations, at Mowanjum, were finished in August 2026, so every participating community is now receiving Kimberley solar credits.
Who is funding the Kimberley solar credits
The scheme is jointly funded by the Australian and Western Australian governments through the Community Solar Banks Program.
