Western Australian State of Energy Export Awards

The Western Australian (WA) State of Energy Export Awards celebrate the confidence, capability and energy of local businesses that continue to succeed in international markets.

Since 1988, the Awards have highlighted the contributions of WA exporters to the State’s economy, recognising their innovation and international success.  

The Awards program operates as a two-tier process and is run in partnership with Austrade.

The 2026 winners were announced and celebrated at the WA State of Energy Export Awards 2026 Gala Dinner, held on Friday, 9 October 2026.

The Gala Dinner also marked the launch of WA’s State of Energy global campaign, which showcases the energy, ambition and capability of our State to the world.
