About us  
We have an exciting and ambitious road ahead with a focus on:  
 

• Investing in renewable energy and storage projects that accelerate the transition and deliver commercial returns.  
• Supporting households to go all electric to reduce their emissions and energy bills.  
• Building the renewable energy workforce our energy transition requires.  

 
The organisation is partnering with industry to transform the energy sector, opening the state up for further innovation and investments in renewables.

The SEC will also play an important role in helping Victorian households to reduce their energy bills and emissions by offering simple and effective solutions to help them switch to electric.  
 
The energy transformation will create thousands of jobs. The SEC will play a role in attracting and training our future renewable energy workforce.
