It saw the introduction of piped gas into the south west of the state, as well as other infrastructure developments in its time.[2]

It was changed in 1975 to the State Energy Commission of Western Australia and reorganized in 2006 into Western Power, Synergy, Alinta, Verve Energy and Horizon Power.
