Verve Energy
On 1 April 2006 the Western Australian Government split Western Power Corporation into four separate businesses. Three of these operate in the South West Interconnected System (SWIS). These include Verve Energy (generation) Western Power (network) and Synergy (retailer). The fourth business Horizon Power generates, transports and retails electricity to areas outside the SWIS in WA’s regional and remote locations.
On 1 January 2014 the Wester Australian Government merged Verve Energy with Synergy to form one company called Synergy (or Synergy Electricity Retail and Generation Corporation) to manage both the generation and retailing of energy to the SWIS. Synergy sells electricity to residential and business customers and gas to large scale business customers. Synergy has a legislated monopoly on the sale of electricity to residential and other customers who do not consume a large amount of electricity. Western Power remains as a stand alone business operating in the SWIS.
During its existence Verve Energy produced an information booklet titled 'About Us' which provides information on their power stations and sustainable energy initiatives.
