Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU)

Discounts on heating & cooling, heat-pump hot water, ceiling insulation and more, delivered through accredited providers.

Rebates for solar panels and hot water for eligible owner-occupiers. Property-value and other eligibility limits apply.

Federal solar incentive (STCs)

Upfront discount on eligible rooftop solar for Victorian homes and businesses.

Cheaper Home Batteries Program

Around 30% off an eligible battery. Victoria no longer has a separate state battery rebate, so battery support is mainly federal.

FAQ

Questions

No. Victorian Energy Upgrades is specific to Victoria. Other states have their own schemes — for example NSW ESS or SA REPS. The checker shows the right program for your postcode.

In many cases incentives can be stacked across different upgrades (for example a VEU heat-pump discount plus Solar Victoria solar rebate plus federal STCs), subject to each program's rules. Confirm with an approved provider.

Victoria no longer offers a dedicated state battery rebate. Battery support for Victorians now comes mainly through the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program.
