Victorian regulator suspends Royal One's accreditation over alleged fraud
The Essential Services Commission has halted Royal One Pty Ltd's participation in the Victorian Energy Upgrades scheme, accusing the firm of submitting falsified photos and customer information.
Royal One Pty Ltd lost its accreditation for the Victorian Energy Upgrades program after the Essential Services Commission alleged the company provided altered images of installations and fabricated client details. The scheme, run by the state government, aims to reduce household energy costs through efficiency upgrades. Officials said the suspension will remain until the matter is resolved. No further legal action has been disclosed at this stage.
Why it matters
The suspension protects taxpayers by ensuring government energy-saving programs are not abused.
