Overview

A Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Stakeholder Reference Group has been established as part of the VEU Strategic Review.

The Stakeholder Reference Group will provide insights and input on opportunities to guide the strategic review of VEU and ensure the VEU program can best support households and businesses in the future as we shift towards renewable energy.

Who is involved?

The Stakeholder Reference Group, comprises key industry and consumer organisations, including:

  • Energy Consumers Australia
  • Environment Victoria
  • Victorian Council of Social Services
  • Energy Savings Industry Association
  • Australian Energy Council
  • Energy Efficiency Council
  • Clean Energy Council
  • Smart Energy Council.

How is it funded?

The VEU Strategic Review is funded by a $5.9 million investment over 2 years and led by Solar Victoria, within the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action.

What is the purpose of the Strategic Review?

The VEU Strategic Review will strengthen the VEU to ensure it is fit for the future and deliver electrification and energy efficiency at scale.

It will examine the changes needed to strengthen the VEU’s capacity to support households and businesses to reduce their energy use through facilitating and accelerating electrification. This includes understanding current barriers households and businesses face, as well as industry challenges, regulation, metrics and activities included.

Consultation

Solar Victoria has undertaken extensive consultation and engagement over the past six months. A discussion paper is the key next step in the review process.

Solar Victoria is seeking evidence-based submissions on the matters raised in this discussion paper, or on any matters relevant to the review’s Terms of Reference.

Responses to the discussion paper will be used to inform potential changes to the VEU program.
