VEECs Rebate
VEEC – Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificate
Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs) are digital certificates generated under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program. These certificates are produced when specific energy-efficient activities are carried out in residential or non-residential premises. Each VEEC represents a reduction of one tonne of greenhouse gas emissions (CO₂-e). Energy retailers purchase these certificates to fulfil their annual obligations under the program. The VEECs play a crucial role in helping the Victorian government achieve its target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from households.
The VEEC rebate is only available on electric or gas hot water system replacements and eligible system models. We will tailor the best option to meet your requirements and ensure you can take advantage of any applicable rebates.
If eligible, the Solar Victorian hot water rebate of $1,000 plus STC and VEEC’s taken off your total invoice will reduce the overall cost and reduce your payback period.
