Western Power Corporation (WPC), owned by the Government of Western Australia, was Western Australia's major electricity supplier from 1995 until 2006.^[1]^[2]

It was formed in 1995 when the monopoly electricity and gas supplier, the State Energy Commission of Western Australia, was disaggregated into separate suppliers for gas (AlintaGas) and electricity (WPC).^[3]^[4]

In 2006, WPC was disaggregated into Western Power, Synergy, Horizon Power and Verve Energy.^[5]^[6]
