Western Australia, like other Australian states and high-income countries, is a heavy energy user by global standards.

This article is about generation of energy in Western Australia. For Australia's energy policy and management, see Energy policy in Australia.

The most distinctive features of Western Australia's energy systems are the massive export of natural gas, its independence from the interconnected cross-state gas and electricity networks in eastern Australia, and the presence of two separate large-scale grids and many microgrids to provide power for the sparsely populated state.
