Currently water and electricity utilities of Perth enjoy a virtual monopoly but deregulation is coming. If you need a new utility connection because of moving house to Perth or within Perth or moving to new office space these Perth utility links may be useful.
Alinta Gas With the worlds second largest natural gas supplies in Western Australia, you'd be nuts not to get natural gas supplied to your home. The Alinta Gas, West Farmers and AGL Perth gas utility, supply clean gas at reasonable prices. Gas retailing was deregulated in 2017.
Water Corp Perth is the Perth utility monopoly
on the supply and distribution of mains water. They bill the owner or agent
direct and they may pass on the water usage charges to tenants. WaterCorp
supply good quality drinking water within WHO standards. Only at the end
of summer I might boil Perth drinking water to drive off the chlorine that
WaterCorp use to combat higher populations of water pathogens. Sources of
water by percent in Perth: Aproximately
40% underground.
40% desalination
of Indian Ocean water and
7% from dams.

PASSING THE BUCK: 8:45am 23 Jan 2014 I'm writing an
account of disturbing events. Two weeks ago I contacted Synergy to have
the electricty bill put in my wife's name after the previous account holder
moved out from my home/office. We've been waiting. This morning a hard nosed
lady from Western Power arrived at our door to disconnect the power. She
refused to accept our desire to pay and threatend disconnection at the street.
Despite me saying 3 times she can disconnect us, she left without further
discussion. Threats without justice and zero feedback from goverment
electricity supply companies, after requesting to pay electricity bills,
is disturbing. Not only at risk is food storage but income of the only bread
winner in our family where my wife stays, potentialy in a home without electricity,
to take care of our 2yo
Don't rely on contacting Synergy via their web site to request taking over
bills of house mates who moved out. The next communication is a hard
nosed Western Power representative at your meter box to disconect your power
without consideration of the facts nor justice. Very unAustralian.
Synergy electric
power utility Perth, is the retail division of the electrical power supply
company of Perth. Synergy electricity supply 240 volts of alternating
current to Perth homes. Synergy phone number: 6212 2222 It is reasonably
reliable. It's interesting that you won't find mention of the word "electricity"
nor "electrical" on their invoices. I guess it's like the department
of transport now being named the Department of Planning and Infrastructure
or the fire brigade Perth
Telephone: 000, is now FESA (Fire & Emergency Services
Authority) With so many people coming to Perth, it is one of the reasons
for this page to help connect plain English with whimsical government named
agencies in the era of political correctness. On average I'd have one power
supply failure from this Perth electricity utility every few months though
with growing use of air conditioners, supply of electricity from this Perth
electricity utility on the hottest summer days has been limited. USPs are
available for critical computer data protection.
In 2011 the Australian government would not let my Thai wife stay in Australia for the birth of our child so I went to Thailand to take care of our baby. I did not get notification of an electricity bill till after I returned to Australia which I paid on arrival but too late to get a $290 bad debt credit rating by Synergy on the Australian national record database VEDA.
