Shire of Irwin

 

The data presented here (customer numbers, distribution network overhead circuit length, distribution network underground circuit length, as well as the number of distribution network poles) in those local government areas (LGAs) that Western Power fully or partially supplies electricity to.

This data does not include customers or assets from other electricity network suppliers that may also service these LGAs (such as Horizon Power). Circuit Lengths are an estimation for each Local Government Area and do not include those circuits that are exclusively designated for street-light supply.

This data is as of 8 November 2022 and as a consequence, cannot be compared to other similar information either published externally or circulated internally within Western Power.
