How to save for your community

Upgrading council facilities

Making energy-efficiency upgrades to your council buildings and assets including heating and cooling, hot water, refrigeration, and old streetlights with energy-efficient LEDs.

Promoting energy saving opportunities

Encouraging VEU participation to help your community save on energy bills.

Become a VEU champion

We can train your council to become a Victorian Energy Upgrades Champion, so your community can benefit.

Training includes:

how the program works
available upgrades and their benefits
how to receive rebates for upgrades under the program.

Members of your community can benefit from the program by receiving discounts on eligible upgrades for their homes or businesses.

This would save them money on energy bills and help save the environment.

Do you want statistics on uptake rates by postcode or local government area (LGA)?

These statistics may help your council identify energy efficiency opportunities for your community.
