Victoria’s drive to fund power and fuel projects
The State Electricity Commission relies on public loans to extend electricity supply across Victoria. A £3 million December loan oversubscribed shows rising confidence, funding a £44 million capital works programme aimed at rural electrification and fuel security, with new £3 million sought to continue through March and meet the wider £15 million remaining. The programme underscores the statewide impact on farms, households, and industry.
