Frequently asked questions
The SEC is currently only servicing the Victorian Government and eligible businesses in Victoria.
If you are a Victorian business consuming over 40MWh of energy per year (equivalent to around $10,000 per year) you may be eligible to become an SEC customer. We help businesses across Victoria switch to renewable electricity, improve their electricity efficiency, reduce their consumption and meet their carbon reduction goals. If you are unsure of your energy consumption or wish to become an SEC electricity customer, fill in the general enquiry form and we will be in touch.
As is the case for all retailers operating in the National Electricity Market, electricity consumed by the SEC’s customers comes from the National Energy Market, which sources supply from renewable and non-renewable sources.
However, the SEC will match the electricity consumption of its customers by surrendering large-scale generation certificates (LGCs) generated by renewable energy sources, including its own renewable energy projects, to ensure each megawatt hour of electricity our customers consume is matched to a renewable source.
This will include certificates generated by the SEC’s own projects and projects supported by Victorian Renewable Energy Target auction contracts, such as Berrybank Wind Farm, Glenrowan Solar Farm, Dundonnell Wind Farm, Cohuna Solar Farm and Bulgana. The SEC will purchase LGCs if required.
LGCs are tradable certificates created for eligible large-scale (greater than 100kW) renewable energy solar and wind power stations. LGCs are surrendered to the Clean Energy Regulator to meet renewable energy targets. Each LGC can be used to offset one megawatt hour of consumed energy, resulting in that megawatt hour of energy being “renewable”.
