Victorian Energy
Upgrades, made easy.
The VEU program helps Victorian households and businesses cut power bills and emissions with discounted, energy-efficient products. As an accredited provider, we generate the certificates and hand the savings straight to you.
Victoria's energy efficiency program
Victorian Energy Upgrades is a Victorian Government program administered by the Essential Services Commission. Sunrise Saves Energy is a private accredited provider (A002550) and does not work for the Victorian Government or the commission. It gives households and businesses access to discounted energy-efficient products and services, lowering bills and greenhouse gas emissions across the state.
- Energy retailers must meet annual emission-reduction targets
- They do this by buying Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs)
- Accredited providers generate VEECs by delivering efficient upgrades
- One certificate equals one tonne of greenhouse gas saved
