Welcome to the Clean Energy Regulator

The Clean Energy Regulator is the Government body responsible for administering legislation that will reduce carbon emissions and increase the use of clean energy.​

The Clean Energy Regulator is part of the Climate Change Portfolio and administers the Carbon Pricing Mechanism, the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) scheme, the Carbon Farming Initiative and the Renewable Energy Target.

Our focus is to build a clean energy future for Australia through the effective implementation and administration of these schemes.

The Clean Energy Regulator works with a number of stakeholders and clients including Australian Government departments and agencies, industry bodies, liable entities and the community to deliver regulatory services of the highest standard to support a clean energy future for Australia.​​​​​​
