As the new year approaches, solar installers looking to maximise VEEC rebates face a critical challenge: the upcoming emission factor change is set to take effect in early 2025. This change will reduce the rebate value of Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs) by up to 26%, significantly impacting the financial returns on solar projects across Victoria. The difference between acting now and delaying will be substantial—not only in monetary gains but also in delivering maximum value to your clients.

With only a few weeks left in 2024, solar installers have limited time to get their projects commissioned and approved by the Essential Services Commission (ESC) to capture full VEEC value. Simply put, if your project is not yet under construction, if VEECs haven’t been on your radar, or if you’re unsure how to proceed but can commission by 31 Jan 2025—reach out today!

Why Acting Now Matters

  • Maximising VEEC Rebates: VEECs represent a significant portion of the financial benefits of solar installations, and the upcoming emission factor change threatens to cut this value by as much as 26%. By fast-tracking projects now, you can secure higher certificate values, ensuring your clients get the best returns on their investment.
  • Securing Regulatory Approvals in Time: Delaying project commissioning increases the risk of missing out on necessary regulatory approvals. The approval process can be time-consuming, especially if documentation or compliance requirements aren’t met upfront. With limited time remaining, it’s crucial to have all approvals finalised well before the deadline.
  • Avoiding Project Bottlenecks: As the deadline approaches, a rush in submissions is likely, leading to potential delays or bottlenecks in the approval process. Additionally, installation approvals for solar projects can take significantly longer, often causing unexpected delays. Acting now allows solar installers to avoid this last-minute rush and ensure that projects are reviewed and approved on time.
