Unlock VEU Rebate Opportunities with
AGG WERS-Rated Windows
High performance windows & glass doors are now more than an energy upgrade – they may also unlock a clear rebate pathway for Victorian retrofit projects.
Following sustained advocacy by AGWA, high performance WERS-rated windows are now formally recognised under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, without the costly product assessments and verification processes previously required.
For window/glass door upgrades from single glazing to compliant double or triple glazing, this means there is now a government-backed rebate pathway attached to eligible work – helping customers save while supporting stronger commercial outcomes for suppliers, manufacturers and installers.
A New Opportunity for Victorian Retrofit Projects
For the first time, VEU incentives are aligned with verified whole-of-window performance for eligible products listed in WERS.
Through collaboration with accredited rebate provider 1st Energy Rebates, AGWA has developed a streamlined pathway for members to claim rebates on WERS-rated windows that meet the program criteria:
- WERS Total System U-values of 4.0 or lower
- WERS Heating star ratings of 4 stars or higher
- Victorian Homes & Business only
- A portion of the rebate received must go to the end-user
- Includes 2025 calender year projects
- 2025 back-dated claims must be in by 17th June 2026!
This opens access to tens of thousands of eligible window products and provides a simpler, more compliant way for businesses to participate in the VEU rebate program.
AGG Has Over 13,000 Eligible WERS Make-Ups
Australian Glass Group has over 13,000 individual WERS make-ups that meet the VEU rebate performance criteria, with a U-value of 4.0 or lower and a heating star rating of 4 stars or higher.
This gives AGG customers a strong product pathway to support retrofit upgrade projects across Victoria, while helping homeowners access energy-efficient glazing solutions with potential rebate support.
Why This Matters
For businesses involved in retrofit or window upgrade work, this opportunity can help:
- Make upgrade proposals more compelling to customers
- Support stronger margins through rebate-backed projects
- Simplify compliance and administration
- Position high performance glazing as a core energy upgrade, not an optional extra
- Create additional value for customers replacing single glazed windows & doors
