NGERs or the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting scheme, is Australia’s national legislative framework for reporting and publishing company information about greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, energy production and energy consumption. It is administered by the Clean Energy Regulator (CER). The CER registers corporations, processes reports via the Emissions and Energy Reporting System (EERS), and enforces compliance.
Who needs to report to NGERs is determined by specific emissions thresholds, classed as the Facility threshold and the Corporate Group threshold. Entities that exceed these thresholds must register and report annually.
For more information, see our article ‘What is NGERs, who needs to report and how to comply‘.
Beyond compliance, NGERs and the Safeguard Mechanism provide strategic frameworks for companies to manage regulatory risk, identify decarbonisation opportunities, and integrate emissions reduction into long-term plans.
Now is the time for large emitters to ensure their decarbonisation strategy is robust and future proof because the pace of change will only accelerate towards 2030 and beyond.
We are registered auditors under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 and provide assurance in compliance with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting framework that covers both NGERs and Safeguard Mechanism liable entities. For more than ten years, we were active members of the Clean Energy Regulator’s Audit Panel and have provided audit and assurance services for some of Australia’s largest and most complex emitters.
