Verve Energy was a corporation owned by the Western Australian Government, tasked with managing the state's electricity generation assets within the South West Interconnected System (SWIS).
Established in 2006, it emerged from the division of the previously integrated Western Power Corporation as part of structural reforms in Western Australia's electricity sector. In 2014, Verve Energy combined with Synergy, the government-owned energy retailer for SWIS, thereby unifying generation and retail functions under a single organization.
Generators
Verve Energy held ownership of five principal power plants that provided electricity to the SWIS network:
- Muja Power Station, located east of Collie
- Collie Power Station, situated in Collie
- Kwinana Power Station, positioned in the Naval Base industrial area
- Cockburn Power Station, found in Cockburn
- Pinjar Power Station, based in Pinjar
- Mungarra Power Station
In addition, the company managed several other generation facilities including Albany Wind Farm along with wind-diesel and biomass power installations.
