Schemes & Rebates
Our Future
As part of its strong commitment to reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable living, the Victorian Government has introduced a range of schemes and rebates designed to help households and businesses transition from gas-powered appliances to cleaner, energy-efficient electric alternatives.
Our Programs
Gas Appliance Replacement Incentives:
These initiatives encourage Victorians to swap out traditional gas appliances—such as hot water systems, heating, cooking equipment, and space heaters—for modern electric versions like heat pump hot water systems, electric heating, and induction cooktops. This transition helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels, lowering greenhouse gas emissions and supporting Victoria’s climate targets.
our programs
Financial Rebates and Subsidies:
To make the switch more affordable, the government offers rebates that significantly reduce the upfront costs of purchasing and installing energy-efficient electric appliances. These rebates are designed to encourage widespread adoption by easing financial barriers and ensuring the benefits of clean technology are accessible to all.
our programs
Focus on Energy Efficiency and Long-Term Savings:
Electric alternatives promoted through these schemes often incorporate advanced technologies such as energy recycling, smart controls, and superior insulation. These features not only reduce energy consumption but also lower electricity bills for consumers, creating long-term financial and environmental benefits.
our programs
Alignment with Victoria’s Climate Change Strategy:
These initiatives are integral to Victoria’s broader Climate Change Strategy, which aims to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. By encouraging the adoption of clean electric technologies, the government supports cleaner air, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and a healthier environment for all Victorians.
our programs
Support for Safe Decommissioning of Gas Equipment:
The programs also include assistance for safely removing and decommissioning old gas appliances. This ensures that outdated equipment is disposed of or recycled in a way that minimises environmental harm, prevents leaks of harmful gases, and complies with relevant safety standards.
our programs
Accessibility and Inclusivity:
The government ensures these programs are accessible across diverse communities, including low-income households, regional areas, and vulnerable populations. This inclusive approach helps ensure that the transition to cleaner energy solutions benefits everyone.
