About NextGen Carbon
Save on Energy Upgrades with the Victorian Energy Upgrades Program
The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program is a State Government scheme, administered by the Essential Services Commission, that makes energy-efficient products more affordable for Victorian homes and businesses.
Instead of a cash payment, the scheme lowers the upfront price you pay when you upgrade through an accredited provider — so eligible upgrades cost you far less from the start. As your accredited provider, NextGen Carbon handles the approved products, the certified installation and all the compliance paperwork for you.
