The role of the Clean Energy Regulator

01 October 2020
ERF

The Clean Energy Regulator is responsible for key administrative tasks under the Emissions Reduction Fund including:

  • registering projects
  • running auctions
  • managing carbon abatement contracts, and
  • issuing Australian carbon credit units on achievement of emissions reductions.

The Clean Energy Regulator is an economic regulator and does not have any direct role or powers under our legislation to enforce work health and safety, environmental protection, or planning laws. However, we do share information with relevant regulators in appropriate circumstances.

Responsibility for meeting obligations to undertake a project in accordance with the law always rests with the business or individual concerned. If you are unsure of your legal responsibilities or believe that a business or person is not complying with the law, you should contact the relevant local authorities first.

The Clean Energy Regulator is now also responsible for developing Emissions Reduction Fund methods after this function moved from the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources.
