The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program reduces greenhouse gases by providing access to discounted energy efficient products and services.
The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU)program helps Victorians reduce their energy bills and greenhouse gas emissions by providing access to discounted energy efficient product and services.
The program also encourages investment, employment and innovation in industries that supply these products and services.
Large energy retailers are required to acquire and surrender Victorian energy efficiency certificates (VEECs) to meet annual target setin Victorian legislation.
''Accredited persons'' that carry out upgradeactivities by installing energy-efficient products in residential or non-residential premises can create VEECs.
The greenhouse gas savings associated with the installation ofan energy efficientproduct and/or decommissioning of an inefficient productdetermines the number ofVEECs that can be created. The level of incentive or discount received by households and businesses varies depending on the market activity and certificate price.
