'There's a lot of inconveniences with power lines across paddocks ? it's dangerous as the lines go across our yard so the idea of none of that being here is pretty exciting,' Mr Green said. So popular are the renewable energy providers' products that it is constructing the world's biggest standalone power production facility ? a 16,000 square metre site in Perth Airport's industrial precinct.įor Mr Green the installation of standalone power is a win-win. The standalone power units are being produced at Hybrid Systems Australia where executive director Mike Hall is rushing to keep up with demand. While Western power is yet to put an exact figure on savings, it expects the standalone power systems to save millions by avoiding the need to repair and maintain remote power lines. 'Rather than rebuild the damaged network we brought (some households) forward and liaised with those customers to transition to standalone power systems,' he said. Western Power executive of asset operations Sam Barbaro said it made sense to fast-track the rollout of standalone power systems. Within a week of the cyclone, Western Power had restored power to 85 per cent of the 33,000 affected properties.īut properties at the end of power lines remained powerless. 'But it just meant we were tied to the place ? we couldn't really go away because the generators fuel tanks are only a-day-and-a-half worth of fuel.' 'It was right at the start of seeding, we had to accommodate people here, so we got hold of gen sets as soon as we could,' Mr Green said. Since then, they've relied on generators to power their house and farm sheds. Mr Green and his family woke up the day after the cyclone to find their house relatively intact, but their farming sheds, silos and machinery badly damaged.

Of the 6,000 systems, some 98 will be installed this year, including 35 in the Midwest.Īmong those set to receive a unit is farmer Brady Green, of Chapman Valley, who is expecting his new system to arrive in August.

The corporation plans to install a total of 6,000 standalone power systems to Midwest and South West landowners over the next 20 years. The extent of the destruction has seen Western Power fast-track plans to introduce standalone power systems ? powered by solar panels, along with a backup generator ? to individual properties in the region. The cyclone caused more devastation than Western Power has ever seen, with more than 4,000 power poles down over an area about half the size of Victoria. Some 35 cyclone-battered properties which remain without power three months after Cyclone Seroja will receive standalone power systems to help them turn on the lights.
