Australia’s Clean Energy Regulator (CER) is cracking down on “false statements and incomplete work”, urging rooftop solar and battery retailers and installers, as well as carbon credit traders, to comply with the law.
The CER released its latest Quarterly Compliance Update which highlights a range of small announcements underpinning its efforts to protect the integrity of Australia’s clean energy schemes.
These include the Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) Scheme, National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Scheme, the Safeguard Mechanism, and Renewable Energy Target (RET).
The CER says it has suspended 21 companies from the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) for failing to meet fit and proper person requirements.
“Fit and proper person requirements are an ongoing obligation,” the CER said. “Participants must demonstrate compliance with the law and that they have the integrity, capability and competence to effectively fulfil their role as a provider of our schemes.”
