Energy Safe Victoria Strategy 2025–28
The Energy Safe Victoria Strategy 2025–28 sets our direction for the future.
As Victoria’s energy safety regulator, we are committed to protecting the community and enabling safe, reliable energy systems. We work to prevent deaths, serious injuries, property loss and environmental harm – helping Victorians feel confident in their energy supply.
As the energy landscape evolves – with the transition to renewable energy, climate change, rising community expectations and financial pressures – we’re adapting our regulatory approach.
Our strategic priorities are focused on where the risk of harm is the greatest across the energy value chain, and where we seek to create long term impact.
Strategic priorities
By 2028 we aim to achieve the following:
- Energy generators: all generators know who we are, what we expect of them, and proactively manage risk.
- Energy networks: network duty holders are planning and responding to externalities, including climate change, so they have safer and more resilient networks.
- Licensed workers: we are supporting a growing and skilled workforce through fit for purpose professional development and easy to use systems.
- Equipment and appliances: only equipment and appliances that are safe by design and for use are supplied to consumers.
- Community: people have improved awareness and behaviours in relation to energy safety risks in the home and community.
- Cross cutting: we are a trusted and influential voice to government, and other regulators, on energy safety issues and policy, to support economic growth and the energy transition.
