Every Victorian should be able to live in a home that is safe and affordable to heat, cool and cook in, whether they rent, own their home, or live in a house, unit or an apartment.
Right now, too many Victorians are doing it tough, with costly energy bills driven up by the profiteering of big energy companies.
The problem is that private energy companies put profits first. They don’t care about the future of our state.
The Victorian Government is leading the country in publicly owned power. But there's more work to do.
We call on the government to:
The Victorian Government is leading the country in publicly owned power. But there's more work to do.
We call on the government to:
- Increase the amount of rebates and supports for Victorians to help upgrade their homes.
- Deliver targeted energy support for Victorian renters.
- Introduce mandatory disclosure of energy efficiency standards for homes at point of sale and lease
- Invest in installing rooftop solar, batteries and other energy upgrades on government-owned buildings.

Why is this important?
The State Electricity Commission (SEC) is Victoria’s publicly owned energy provider, and we want it to do more!
After years of campaigning, the union movement convinced the Labor State Government to bring the SEC back, after Liberal Premier Jeff Kennett privatised it in 1994.
We want the SEC to deliver cheaper bills by building more renewables, support households to electrify, train the next generation of energy workers, and keep energy profits here in Victoria.
More state investment in the SEC will drive down our energy bills, deliver more jobs and give young people a future in the trades through apprenticeship programs. The SEC is about building the clean energy system Victoria needs: owned by the people, run for the people, and delivering for the people.
