VEU product applicants

Products to be installed under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program need to be listed in the VEU Register of Products by the time Victorian energy efficiency certificates (VEECs) are created.

The exceptions to this are:

• gas efficiency products (installed under activities 38 to 42)
• cold room upgrades (installed under activity 43)
• products installed under project-based activities (except lighting products installed under PBA)

Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards products 

Certain products listed on the GEMS register are eligible for certificate creation under the program upon installation. These include:

• refrigerators and freezers (product categories 22A, 22B, 22C, and 22D)
• televisions (product category 24A)
• clothes dryers (product category 25A)
• electric motors (product category 31A) 
• refrigerated cabinets (product category 32A). 

However, these products must be listed in the VEU Register of Products  to enable the calculation and creation of VEECs for the installed product.   You can request for us to list a GEMS-listed product on the VEU Register of Products with minimal supporting documentation using the product application process.  You are entitled to a fee waiver when applying for listing of these products on the VEU Register of Products.

Approved products for induction cooktops activity

The Secretary of the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Change (DEECA) has established an approved list of products, known as the ‘Secretary’s product list, that may be sold under the program’s induction cooktop and freestanding combined induction cooking product activity (activity 46).  The list is published here.

The products listed in the Secretary’s product list are automatically listed in the VEU Register of Products to enable accredited persons to create Victorian energy efficiency certificates (VEECs) for this activity. 

For all enquiries about the Secretary’s product list, please contact the Victorian Energy Upgrades team at the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action at energy.upgrades@deeca.vic.gov.au

Products approved by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) for public lighting upgrade activity

For products to be installed under the public lighting upgrade activity, the product either needs to be a listed on the AEMO NEM load table or approved by us. However, even products listed on the AEMO NEM load need table needs to be listed in the VEU Register of Products to enable the calculation and creation of VEECs for the installed product. 

Given the specialised nature of this activity, we require accredited persons (or any other interested stakeholder) to submit an application to us for inclusion of AEMO approved products on the VEU Register of Products. Minimal supporting documentation is required for the application.  You are entitled to a fee waiver when applying for listing of AEMO approved products on the VEU Register of Products.
