All Victorian businesses can receive discounts for outdoor, commercial and industrial lighting upgrades.

Victoria’s largest energy users are not eligible for lighting upgrades unless they opt in to participate in the VEU program. For further information, visit Victorian Energy Upgrades for Businesses.
