The Western Australian (WA) Government is committing $150 million to provide targeted, low interest, competitive loans to eligible local manufacturers through its newly established Made in WA Energy Affordability Investment Program. 

Loans up to $15 million will be available to suitable candidates, with loan periods of up to ten years being considered. 

The funds will assist local manufacturers by allowing them to upgrade to more energy efficient equipment and technologies, such as installing industrial batteries and storage systems, or deploying advanced manufacturing equipment, technologies and techniques.  

The Made in WA Energy Affordability Investment Program will launch in July 2026.  

A Register of Interest has opened for local manufacturers to express interest in future participation in the program. 

Those registered will also be consulted to inform future program design and outcomes.
