Enforcement action against Eco Light Up Pty Ltd

8 July 2025 

The commission has taken enforcement action against Eco Light Up Pty Ltd ( Eco Light Up) for allegedly breaching the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program rules. 

Alleged breach 

Eco Light Up allegedly breached the VEU program rules by creating Victorian energy efficiency certificates (certificates) for five non-building based lighting upgrades where the lighting designer did not hold a qualification required by the VEU program rules to prepare a lighting design. 

Under the VEU program rules for non-building based lighting upgrades, lighting designers must hold an appropriate Illuminating Engineering Society of Australia and New Zealand qualification. 

Since the alleged non-compliance, Eco Light Up has implemented changes to ensure it only uses qualified lighting designers in future non-building based lighting upgrades. 

Our decision 

We have:

• Refused registration of 200 pending certificates created for these lighting upgrades, valued at around $20,000 (as at 7 July 2025).
• Formally warned Eco Light Up against future non-compliance and reminded them that they must ensure the compliance of anyone doing work for them or on their behalf, such as lighting designers. 

Note: the certificate value on this page is based on the spot price of $93.75 as at 7 July 2025. 

Eco Light Up was notified of this decision on 1 May 2025. The decision was subject to a 30 business day review period, which ended on 12 June 2025 . Eco Light Up did not seek a review of the decision.
