The Australian Government Clean Energy Regulator (CER) is an independent statutory authority responsible for accelerating carbon abatement and supporting Australia’s transition to a cleaner energy system. The CER administers key national schemes including the Renewable Energy Target, the Emissions Reduction Fund and the Guarantee of Origin framework, ensuring transparency, integrity and compliance across energy and carbon markets. At Smart Energy 2026 in Sydney, the Clean Energy Regulator will engage with industry on policy implementation, market developments and regulatory priorities shaping Australia’s clean energy future. Through robust governance, data-driven oversight and collaboration with stakeholders, the CER plays a critical role in building confidence and momentum in Australia’s renewable energy transition.
