No. 145/2018 were made on 2 October 2018 by the Lieutenant-Governor as the Governor's deputy, with the advice of the Executive Council, under section 75 of the **Victorian Energy Efficiency Target Act 2007**, No. 70/2007 and came into operation as follows:\n\nRegulations 1–10(3)(b) and (4), 11–16(3), 17–24, 26–49, Schedule 1, Parts 1–36 of Schedule 2, clauses 1–36 of Schedule 3, Schedules 4, 5 on 10 December 2018: regulation 3(1); regulations 10(3)(c) and (5), 16(4), 25, Parts 37–42 of Schedule 2, clauses 37–42 of Schedule 3 on 1 March 2019: regulation 3(2).\n\nThe Victorian Energy Efficiency Target Regulations 2018 will sunset 10 years after the day of making on 2 October 2028 (see section 5 of the **Subordinate Legislation Act 1994**).\n\nINTERPRETATION OF LEGISLATION ACT 1984 (ILA)\n\nStyle changes\n\nSection 54A of the ILA authorises the making of the style changes set out in Schedule 1 to that Act.\n\nReferences to ILA s. 39B\n\nSidenotes which cite ILA s. 39B refer to section 39B of the ILA which provides that where an undivided regulation, rule or clause of a Schedule is amended by the insertion of one or more subregulations, subrules or subclauses the original regulation, rule or clause becomes subregulation, subrule or subclause (1) and is amended by the insertion of the expression \"(1)\" at the beginning of the original regulation, rule or clause.\n\nInterpretation\n\nAs from 1 January 2001, amendments to section 36 of the ILA have the following effects:\n\n• Headings\n\nAll headings included in a Statutory Rule which is made on or after  \n1 January 2001 form part of that Statutory Rule. Any heading inserted in a Statutory Rule which was made before 1 January 2001, by a Statutory Rule made on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Statutory Rule.  \nThis includes headings to Parts, Divisions or Subdivisions in a Schedule; Orders; Parts into which an Order is divided; clauses; regulations; rules; items; tables; columns; examples; diagrams; notes or forms.  \nSee section 36(1A)(2A)(2B).\n\n• Examples, diagrams or notes\n\nAll examples, diagrams or notes included in a Statutory Rule which is made on or after 1 January 2001 form part of that Statutory Rule. Any examples, diagrams or notes inserted in a Statutory Rule which was made before 1 January 2001, by a Statutory Rule made on or after 1 January 2001, form part of that Statutory Rule. See section 36(3A).\n\n• Punctuation\n\nAll punctuation included in a Statutory Rule which is made on or after  \n1 January 2001 forms part of that Statutory Rule. Any punctuation inserted in a Statutory Rule which was made before 1 January 2001, by a Statutory Rule made on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Statutory Rule.  \nSee section 36(3B).\n\n• Provision numbers\n\nAll provision numbers included in a Statutory Rule form part of that Statutory Rule, whether inserted in the Statutory Rule before, on or after  \n1 January 2001. Provision numbers include regulation numbers, rule numbers, subregulation numbers, subrule numbers, paragraphs and subparagraphs. See section 36(3C).\n\n• Location of \"legislative items\"\n\nA \"legislative item\" is a penalty, an example or a note. As from 13 October 2004, a legislative item relating to a provision of a Statutory Rule is taken to be at the foot of that provision even if it is preceded or followed by another legislative item that relates to that provision. For example, if a penalty at the foot of a provision is followed by a note, both of these legislative items will be regarded as being at the foot of that provision. See section 36B.\n\n• Other material\n\nAny explanatory memorandum, table of provisions, endnotes, index and other material printed after the Endnotes does not form part of a Statutory Rule. See section 36(3)(3D)(3E).\n\n2 Table of Amendments\n\nThis publication incorporates amendments made to the Victorian Energy Efficiency Target Regulations 2018 by statutory rules, subordinate instruments and Acts.\n\n–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––\n\nVictorian Energy Efficiency Target Regulations 2018, S.R.

Key scope‑expanding changes include:\n\n- Addition of behavioural and sales rules: an explicit, prescriptive code of conduct (Schedule 6 and regs 9A–9B) and prohibitions on telemarketing and unsolicited door‑to‑door lead generation (amendments reflected throughout Schedule 6 and regs inserted 2023–2024) — introducing conduct regulation alongside technical eligibility (see Part 1A and Schedule 6).\n\n- New commercial product categories and sale‑type prescribed activities: commercial and industrial air source heat pump water heaters (Part 44), temporary sales‑window prescribed activities for induction cooktops (Part 46), and commercial/industrial solar PV systems (Part 47) expand the scheme into larger commercial installations and one‑off sales windows (Schedule 2 parts added 2021–2025).\n\n- Introduction of financial gating and consumer protection conditions: co‑payment requirements (reg 15A) and mandatory consumer information (reg 15B) change how private consumers are charged and informed, shifting part of the scheme’s incentives and distributing costs to consumers for many product categories.\n\n- Stronger anti‑gaming and targeting controls: explicit limits on certificate creation per premises and ‘scheduled activity premises’ notification requirements (reg 24, Schedule 4; regs 27–28) materially constrain repeated certificate claims at the same address.\n\n- Increased delegated technical rule‑making and administrative lists: creation of the Secretary’s product list (regs 37A–37D) and expanded ESC determination powers (reg 36(6A)) add administrative gatekeeping and discretionary exclusion powers that were not present in the original instrument.\n\nTaken together, the amendments convert the instrument from a technical eligibility schedule into a more comprehensive regulatory framework that combines: technical eligibility, consumer sales conduct regulation, financial gates (co‑payments), anti‑abuse limits and expanded administrative discretion.

Those activities are described in Parts of Schedule 2 and include product installations (water heaters, space heating/cooling, insulation, lighting upgrades, motors, refrigeration, pool pumps, in‑home displays, etc.) and certain services (home energy rating assessments, sales of specified cooktops during a window, commercial PV installations) (Schedule 2).  \n\n- Creates and governs two key administrative lists: the ESC register (products that may be installed for certificate creation) and the Secretary’s product list (for particular sale‑type activities). The ESC and the Secretary can add, suspend, remove and publicise listings and must publish notices and specifications (regs 29–37; regs 37A–37D).  \n\n- Sets the conditions for when certificates may be created. Key gating rules include that the installed product must be listed (reg 16), required decommissioning declarations must be provided (reg 17), product‑specific limits may prevent certificate creation (regs 23–27; Schedule 4), and compliance with the code of conduct is mandatory (reg 15(2); Schedule 6). Newer hooks require a consumer co‑payment for many product categories (reg 15A) and provision of mandatory consumer information for some products (reg 15B).  \n\n- Prescribes when an activity is taken to have been undertaken and when the emissions reduction is treated as occurring (Schedule 3). That timing governs when certificate entitlements crystallise.  \n\n- Delegates technical calculation rules to Secretary’s specifications and allows the ESC to make determinations (reg 12; reg 35; reg 36). The Secretary’s specifications set methods and variables used to calculate carbon dioxide equivalent savings; ESC determinations set measurement, testing and lighting design details, classes of approved waste disposal, and product performance requirements (regs 12, 35–36).  \n\n- Imposes scheme settings: the VEET target for specified years (reg 41A) and the shortfall penalty rate schedule (reg 41).  \n\n- Introduces a prescribed code of conduct for accredited persons and scheme participants, and specifies which parts are mandatory (Part 1A: regs 9A–9B; full code in Schedule 6). The code covers lead generation and marketing, sales and contract information, consumer protections (cooling‑off, statements of rights), dispute‑resolution procedures and minimum timeframes to handle complaints. It also bans telemarketing and doorstep sales practices in many circumstances (see Schedule 6, and amending regs).  \n\n- Limits and anti‑gaming controls: Schedule 4 and related provisions cap the number of installations or assessments at the same premises (to restrict repeated certificate creation at one address) and prevent certificate creation in defined “scheduled activity premises” unless the ESC is notified (regs 24, 27–28; Schedule 4; Schedule 5).  \n\n- Includes transitional provisions moving legacy listings from the old Regulations to the new registers and various amendment tracks (Part 4).  \n\n**Who this affects**\n\n- Accredited persons and scheme participants (organisations and installers who create VEET certificates) — they must follow listing rules, the Secretary’s specifications, ESC determinations and the code of conduct (regs 15–17, 29–37; Schedule 6).  \n\n- Energy consumers (households and businesses) — they are the recipients of products or services; for many products they must make a minimum co‑payment (reg 15A) and/or be provided mandatory consumer information (reg 15B). They gain consumer protections under the code of conduct (Schedule 6) and may be limited in how many subsidised installations they can receive (Schedule 4).  \n\n- Product manufacturers and sellers — they must meet the product criteria and may seek listing on the ESC register (regs 31–33) or Secretary’s product list (regs 37A–37D) and may face delisting or exclusion if products are unsafe or do not meet criteria (reg 31(3); reg 36(6A)).  \n\n- Regulators and third parties — the Essential Services Commission (ESC) and the Secretary (Department) administer listings, publish specifications and determinations, and exercise discretion; Energy Safe Victoria and other agencies provide advice and approvals used in timing and safety gates (regs 29–37; Schedule 3 clauses referencing Energy Safe Victoria). Distribution network service providers and AEMO appear in product exceptions for some unmetered devices (reg 16).  \n\n**Why it matters — incentives, costs, and likely behavioural effects**\n\n- Incentives created: the Regulations tie a financial instrument (VEET certificates) to specified activities. Accredited providers gain revenue from creating and selling certificates when activities meet listing and procedural gates (reg 10; regs 29–37). That encourages suppliers and installers to target eligible products and customers who qualify for certificates.  \n\n- Who pays and who benefits: private consumers typically pay a portion of the cost (co‑payment) for many product categories (reg 15A). Accredited providers and manufacturers of listed products obtain concentrated financial benefits via certificate creation; costs are dispersed among consumers required to make co‑payments, and potentially among relevant entities (energy sellers) through scheme obligations and any pass‑through of certificate prices. The scheme target and shortfall penalty (regs 41A, 41) set an overall obligation that affects liable parties in the energy supply chain.  \n\n- Compliance and administrative burdens: participants must satisfy product testing, labelling, decommissioning, installation and reporting requirements, register/listing procedures, and compliance with the code of conduct. The Secretary’s specifications and ESC determinations import standards and laboratory test regimes (reg 35; reg 36). These introduce ongoing costs (testing, paperwork, site checks, dispute systems) and can delay certificate creation if products are unlisted or an ESC determination is required (regs 31–34; reg 36).  \n\n- Discretion and regulatory gatekeeping: the ESC and Secretary have broad powers to set technical rules, accept or reject listings and to suspend or remove products believed unsafe or not meeting quality (regs 31(3), 36(6), 37C). Those discretionary controls let regulators manage safety and scheme integrity but create regulatory compliance risk for suppliers and potential for advantage to products already compliant with standards.  \n\n- Anti‑gaming and targeting controls: limits on certificate creation at the same premises and requirements to decommission replaced equipment (Schedule 4; reg 17) reduce opportunities for repeated certificate capture at one address. These constraints change installer behaviour (targeting of new addresses, different product lines) and limit potential “double‑dipping.”  \n\n- Market substitution and leakage risks: the Regulations make some product classes eligible (and lucrative) and others ineligible. That will steer private demand and supplier focus toward listed, certificate‑eligible products; where eligibility is narrow (e.g. particular performance thresholds) suppliers may redesign products to meet criteria. Conversely, some consumers may choose non‑listed alternatives to avoid co‑payments or compliance steps.  \n\n- Implementation risks and trade‑offs: reliance on external standards and delegated specifications (Secretary’s specifications and ESC determinations) speeds technical alignment but requires frequent updates and coordination (reg 35). The code of conduct and bans on telemarketing/door‑to‑door methods limit aggressive sales tactics but impose operational constraints and record‑keeping burdens on providers (Schedule 6).  \n\n**Concrete examples of operational rules to watch**\n\n- A supplier cannot create a certificate unless the product actually installed is on the ESC register at the time of certificate creation (reg 16).  \n\n- For many product categories, an energy consumer must pay a minimum co‑payment that cannot be reimbursed if the accredited provider or scheme participant is to create a certificate (reg 15A and Secretary’s specifications under reg 35(1)(ab)).  \n\n- For lighting upgrades and public lighting, the ESC can require engineering/lighting designs and signoffs, and can determine whether deviations from standards are justified (regs 18–22; reg 36(1)).  \n\n- Accredited persons must operate an internal dispute resolution system and meet specified complaint timeframes (Schedule 6, clauses 28–29).  \n\n**Key statutory hooks (examples):** regulation 10 and Schedule 2 (which activities are prescribed); regulations 29–37 (ESC register and determinations); regulation 16 (product listing requirement); regulation 15A (co‑payment); regulation 15B (mandatory consumer information); Schedule 4 (limits on certificate creation); Part 1A and Schedule 6 (code of conduct); regulation 35 (Secretary’s specifications); regulation 41A (scheme targets) and regulation 41 (shortfall penalty rates)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/victorian-energy-efficiency-target-regulations-2018","history":"/api/acts/victorian-energy-efficiency-target-regulations-2018/history","analysis":"/api/acts/victorian-energy-efficiency-target-regulations-2018/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/victorian-energy-efficiency-target-regulations-2018/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/victorian-energy-efficiency-target-regulations-2018/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/victorian-energy-efficiency-target-regulations-2018/documents"}}
