The Smart Energy Council named Nicole Bilman of PSW Energy and Perth Solar Warehouse runner-up for the Emerging Leader Award at the 2026 Smart Energy Excellence Awards. The Council records the event as taking place at Doltone House, Jones Bay Wharf, Sydney, on 6 May 2026.
The Council's published results identify Harry Chami of Solar Juice as the category winner and Nicole Bilman as runner-up. This page records that result as a dated institutional event, not as a current employment or award-status statement.
Career context recorded by McKercher Corporation
The surviving company article linked the recognition to Nicole Bilman's work in electrical and renewable energy operations and to her progression through Perth Solar Warehouse and PSW Energy. It recorded her appointment as Chief Executive Officer of both businesses from 2 February 2026.
Those employment details come from McKercher Corporation's organisational records rather than the Council's results notice. Current role information is maintained in Nicole Bilman's organisation profile, while the dated appointment is preserved in the 2026 appointment record.
Evidence boundary
The surviving article stated that Nicole Bilman was the only Western Australian finalist in the category. The retained Council results identify winners and runners-up, but do not provide the complete finalist list or establish that geographic claim.
The award result does not establish current executive responsibility, certification status, business performance or suitability for a customer project. Those matters require current organisational and project-specific evidence.
