What is the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Program?
How the VEU Program Works to Lower Energy Costs
The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Program is a government initiative aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Victoria, Australia. It encourages households and businesses to adopt energy-efficient products and practices by offering financial incentives. Through this program, eligible participants can receive discounts on energy-saving products like LED lighting, heating and cooling systems, and hot water upgrades. By lowering energy use, the VEU program helps to reduce energy bills and decrease environmental impact. It supports Victoria’s goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, making energy efficiency more accessible and affordable for residents and businesses alike.
