Independent review – Licensed Electrical Inspection regime

An independent review commissioned by Energy Safe Victoria has found that Victoria’s electrical inspection regime addresses safety risk.

Overview

Licensed Electrical Inspectors (LEIs) are a key part of Victoria’s electrical safety regime. All prescribed electrical installations (generally large or complex installations – such as a solar system) must be inspected by an LEI before they can be energised.

The independent review was split into two parts – an interim report focused on the solar industry, and the final report which looked more broadly at the electrical installation inspection regime. Included below is Energy Safe Victoria’s response to these reports.
