How we assess licence transfer applications

We will not grant a transfer of a licence unless we are satisfied that:

• The transferee has the technical capacity to comply with the conditions of the licence, meaning it has the capacity to operate and manage the business, comply with licence conditions and comply with relevant regulatory obligations.
• The transferee is financially viable (where applicable).
• The transferee is a ‘fit and proper’ person to hold a licence in Victoria.

You can refer to our Guideline: Applications for electricity and gas industry licences for more information.

The guideline includes information to assist people to understand our licensing process.
