Victoria’s Energy Future Statement

The Victorian Government's recently released Energy Future Statement (EFS) identifies the issues and opportunities currently facing the state's energy sector, outlines its energy options in the future, and sets out how the Government hopes to deliver a secure, sustainable and cost-efficient energy future. This update focuses on the key funding and policy statements in the EFS that will influence Victoria's energy industry in the years ahead.

Working with the community

In an effort to promote greater community involvement in decisions about Victoria's energy future the Government has used the EFS to declare that, among other things, it will act to encourage communities to identify viable renewable energy possibilities by making funding available to support the development of new community based solar hubs.
