How to set environment variable to run webdriverIO script

Question

I am running my webdriverIO test cases using command npx wdio run .\wdio.conf.js --spec .\test\intel.test.js

Now I want to pass environment variable for the same like ENV=qa

If I run command like this ENV=qa npx wdio run .\wdio.conf.js --spec .\test\intel.test.js Getting error:

ENV=qa : The term 'ENV=qa' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1

• ENV=qa npx wdio run .\wdio.conf.js --spec .\test\intel.test.js

is there any way to set environment variable when we are using npx to run test cases?
