Private players in the mining industry also own the majority of off-grid generation capacity. 97 percent of Transmission & Distribution (T&D) is owned by Western Power, followed by Horizon Power, which owns 3 percent. Increase in prices of natural gas have has an impact on the generation cost, which is expected to ease as export restrictions come into practice. The SWIS contributes to 60 percent of the overall generation capacity in West Australia while the off-grid capacity contributes to 34 percent of overall generation.
Coal-based generation contributes to approximately 30 percent of the total SWIS generating capacity, however, gas-based generation is more prevalent in the off-grid and NWIS.
