VEEC Partnership FAQs

Energy Makeovers is an Accredited Person under the Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificate (VEEC) scheme and therefore has the ability to create VEEC’s for LED tube replacements in commercial premises. Energy Makeovers can complete all the necessary paper work and evidence collection to allow your installations to generate VEECs.

VEECs can only be created by a parties approved as “Accredited Persons” by the scheme regulator. The regulator has a strict accreditation process and requires detailed evidence for each certificate creation.

We provide a full service offer as well as a VEEC creation only service.

In our full service offer we complete all of the paperwork and collect all of the evidence necessary to create VEECs.  All you have to do is tell us when you are starting the job and when you have finished and we look after everything else.

Our VEEC creation only service allows companies that are familiar with Commercial Lighting VEEC requirements to complete their own VEEC documentation and submit this to us through our online Service Portal to create the VEECs.

VEECs are traded every day in a live trading market and the value of VEECs moves up and down based on the prevailing market conditions.  You will be paid based on the number of VEECs registered by the regulator multiplied by the VEEC price we publish on our website at the time the VEECs are registered.

From this we deduct a fee per VEEC based on the level of service you have selected.   We benchmark our VEEC price every day to ensure it is the highest available in the market.   Please refer to our Fee Schedule to understand the fees applicable to our services.

As soon as the regulator registers the VEECs we create for you, we will pay you for the VEECs.  The time it takes the regulator to complete their review and registration process depends heavily on the quality of the evidence submitted and the risk rating of the company creating the VEECs.  Energy Makeovers is rated as a low risk, highly compliant Accredited Person by the regulator so our VEECs are created more quickly than other companies.  Typical payment time is less than 8 weeks
