Government Rebates
Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Program
The VEU Program is a government initiative to assist residents and businesses in Victoria in reducing energy consumption and contribute positively to the environment. Rebates and incentives are offered under the program for the adoption of energy-efficient and sustainable products.
The program is regulated by the Essential Services Commission. When you make your home or business more energy-efficient through the VEU program, accredited professionals create Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs). Each certificate represents the equivalent of one tonne of greenhouse gas emissions that have been prevented from entering the atmosphere.
New South Wales Energy Savings Scheme (NSW ESS)
Under this scheme, businesses and households in NSW have the opportunity to reduce energy consumption and generate Energy Savings Certificates (ESCs) when they adopt energy-efficient products. Electricity retailers and large users generate or acquire ESCs for approved activities, ensuring compliance with the energy savings target set by the Government under the scheme.
Queensland Business Energy Savings and Transformation (QBEST) rebates
The QBEST scheme provides generous financial incentives for small and medium-sized businesses in Queensland to invest in sustainable and energy-efficient equipment. By upgrading, businesses can significantly reduce energy consumption, lower electricity expenses and contribute to the Government’s carbon reduction objectives.
