Our role is broad and ranges from overseeing the design, construction and maintenance of electricity, gas and pipeline networks across the state to ensuring every gas and electrical appliance in your home meets safety and energy efficiency standards before it is sold. We have a team of investigators who probe gas and electrical safety issues in homes and businesses across the state, and run community education campaigns that alert Victorians to potential dangers with energy. Our annual campaigns include Look up and Live, BBQ safety and awareness about the potential for carbon monoxide poisoning from gas appliances. We also licence and register electricians, and issue and audit Certificates of Electrical Safety, which is your guarantee that electrical work has been performed by a qualified electrician.

Lily D'Ambrosio. The Director is also the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ESV.
