About Power up

The transition to renewable energy is on and more Victorians are switching their homes to electric. Electric homes are cheaper to run, healthier to live in, and better for the planet.

The SEC is running a series of online public information sessions that offer expert advice and virtual home tours to support Victorians at all stages of going electric.

These sessions will help households understand the benefits of home energy improvements.

Now’s the time to go electric. Make the switch.
