ELECTRANET – Future Power Options for Hawker and Leigh Creek

PUBLISHED 30 October 2026

A message from ElectraNet

Thank you to everyone from Leigh Creek, Hawker and surrounding communities who attended ElectraNet’s recent community information sessions about future electricity supply for the region.

We appreciated the questions, ideas and local knowledge shared at both sessions.

We heard that reliability, affordability and sustainability matter, alongside ensuring any future solution can support the region’s growth and create opportunities for local communities.

Questions were raised about local jobs and contractors, future electricity demand, the life and replacement of batteries, the future of existing infrastructure and how community feedback will be considered.

ElectraNet is currently assessing three broad options for the region’s future electricity supply, and no final decision has been made.

Feedback submissions are open until 13 November 2026, which you can email to [email protected].

Below you can find the feedback report and FAQs that came from the sessions:
