In recognition of the importance of significant major customer connection projects to the state, Western Power has developed a framework to assess critical projects, based on a set of principles and criteria, including a customer’s readiness to connect.

Launched in May 2024, the Critical Projects Framework (CPF) is a process for identifying connection-ready projects, which will be given right of way to Western Power resources in order to efficiently progress their connection. To help prospective customers understand how critical, connection-ready projects are defined, we have published a comprehensive guideline which will be updated regularly.

CPF assessment fee

In the initial stages, Western Power covered the cost of assessing submissions to support the transition to this framework. In recognition of the need to undertake detailed assessments and any resubmissions that may need to take place, we have introduced a CPF Assessment Fee ($3,500 ex. GST) to cover these costs. For more information regarding fees and charges, please contact your Senior Access Consultant.

MyWP Projects Portal

From Q3 2025, customers will be able to conveniently submit their enquiries through our MyWP Projects Portal. This user-friendly platform will streamline the delivery process, allowing major customers to easily track the status of their submissions. We are committed to providing a seamless experience and look forward to assisting you through this enhanced service.
