Victorian Energy Upgrades for Businesses
Reduce the cost of eligible energy-efficiency upgrades.
The Victorian Energy Upgrades program helps Victorian businesses reduce the upfront cost of eligible energy-efficient products and services.
The scheme works through Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs). Approved accredited providers create certificates from eligible energy savings and use their value to fund discounts provided to customers.

How the VEU Process Works
- Identify an Eligible Upgrade – We review your existing equipment and proposed replacement.
- Check Eligibility – The property, existing equipment and proposed product are checked against current VEU requirements.
- Receive a Written Quote – Where an incentive applies, it is incorporated into the commercial proposal.
- Complete the Upgrade – Qualified tradespeople carry out the work and required documentation is collected.
- Certificates Are Processed – The accredited provider manages the applicable certificate process.
Why Use the VEU Program?
The program is designed to make energy-efficient equipment more affordable while reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
The Victorian Government states that businesses can access discounts for technologies ranging from hot water and space heating/cooling to refrigeration and custom upgrades.
