What is VEU Program?
The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Program is an initiative by the government to boost energy efficiency for both homes and businesses. By participating through 60 Shades, you can receive rebates or discounts on various energy-saving products, helping you lower your power bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Every time an upgrade is made under the VEU Program, 60 Shades generate Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs). Each VEEC represents one tonne of greenhouse gases prevented from entering the atmosphere. Accredited providers like 60 Shades sell these certificates to energy retailers, who use them to meet the emissions targets set by the government each year.
The benefits for households and businesses vary, depending on market activity and the price of these certificates. The Essential Services Commission oversees the program, ensuring that providers are accredited and the products installed meet approved standards.
This initiative not only helps you save on energy costs but also supports a greener environment. For more information on how to benefit from the VEU Program, feel free to reach out to us.
