Unlock Big Savings: How the Latest 2024 VEEC Rebates Can Boost Your Home’s Energy Efficiency
At the start of 2024, the Victorian government introduced exciting new updates to the Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificate (VEEC) program. These changes are designed to make it easier for households to transition to more efficient electric systems, reducing their energy bills while contributing to a more sustainable environment. If you’re considering an upgrade, now is the perfect time to take advantage of these new opportunities.
Policy Highlights: A More Efficient Home Energy System
If your solar hot water system is over five years old and its solar component is no longer functioning, you could be eligible for VEEC rebates when you replace it with an approved new system. This update not only cuts down on upfront installation costs but also makes your home more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient.
Why Now Is the Best Time to Upgrade
With energy prices continuing to rise, households using traditional gas systems are facing higher costs. The 2024 VEEC rebates allow you to reduce your energy bills by up to 60%, and eliminate the need for a gas connection, saving you an additional $400 annually.

Additionally, starting in 2024, all new homes requiring planning permits in Victoria must be all-electric. This means that future market competitiveness will not only depend on the design of the home but also on its energy efficiency. By upgrading to a more efficient electric system, you can increase your property’s value and enjoy lower energy costs for years to come.
How to Maximize Your Savings
Navigating the VEEC rebate process can be complex, but choosing the right VEU provider can simplify things.
