Western Power Corporation (WPC), a government-owned entity under the Government of Western Australia, served as the chief electricity provider in Western Australia between 1995 and 2006.
Formed in 1995 as a result of the division of the State Energy Commission of Western Australia, WPC assumed responsibility for electricity distribution, while gas operations were allocated to AlintaGas.
In 2006, WPC underwent a reorganization that resulted in the creation of four separate organizations: Western Power, Synergy, Horizon Power, and Verve Energy. This restructuring represented a major transformation in the structure of the state's energy sector.
