VEECs explained — how Victorian Energy Certificates save you thousands

VEECs are a hidden gem. When you install eligible efficient equipment, you generate certificates that come off the invoice.

VEECs explained — how Victorian Energy Certificates save you thousands

Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs) are created when you install equipment that cuts energy use under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program. Heat pump hot water, efficient reverse-cycle systems and some other upgrades qualify. The certificates have a market value, and that value is assigned so it reduces what you pay.

You do not need to understand the trading desk. You need a provider who will calculate the stack before you sign and who will actually lodge the paperwork. That is part of our process, not an extra.

VEECs sit alongside Solar Victoria rebates and federal STCs. They are different schemes with different rules. The art is using all of them on one coordinated package instead of leaving the hot water to a plumber who never mentions VEU.

Certificate prices move. Any dollar figure you saw on a Facebook ad six months ago is not a quote. We model current values against the actual product on your site.
