We deliver a range of audit, engagement, compliance and enforcement functions under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, using a risk-based framework approach.
Our VEU audit, engagement, compliance and enforcement functions
We regulate participation in the Victorian Energy Upgrades program and promote compliance with obligations through monitoring, engagement and audit activities, and compliance and enforcement actions.
We apply an integrated risk-based framework to our audit and compliance functions, and regularly engage with stakeholders to discuss improvements. In doing so, we aim to promote active compliance cultures by all accredited persons and scheme participants.
We monitor compliance with the:
- the Victorian Energy Efficiency Target Act 2007
- the Victorian Energy Efficiency Target Regulations 2018
- the Victorian Energy Efficiency Target (Project-Based Activities) Regulations 2017
- the Victorian Energy Efficiency Target Amendment (Code of Conduct) Regulations 2022
- the Victorian Energy Efficiency Target Guidelines
- guidance documents (which provide information to scheme participants in respect of our regulation of the VEU program).
