About the VEU program
The Victorian Government is supporting the transition to electrification by providing financial incentives for businesses and households to upgrade their equipment and appliances, reduce carbon emissions, and ultimately lower energy bills. The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program has recently been extended to 2045, offering trades a unique opportunity to grow by providing discounts for electrification services supported by this program.
As Australia’s largest energy upgrades initiative, VEU is helping Victoria achieve its ambitious emissions reduction targets while supporting Victorian homes and businesses to electrify and cut their energy costs. With electrification and energy efficiency at the core of this effort, new legislation and regulations are driving increased demand for energy-saving products and services.
