Energy Safe Victoria Releases 2025–28 Strategy 

 Energy Safe Victoria (ESV) has released its 2025–28 Strategy, setting out its purpose, goals, and the challenges facing the energy industry. 

 The strategy identifies six priority areas to be achieved by 2028: 

 * 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. 

 Key measures of success for licenced workers will include: 

 * Increase in completion rates for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). 
 * Increase in compliance rates for Certificates of Electrical Safety (COES).
 * Decrease in incidents involving licensed workers.
