The Federal Court of Australia has given permission for the Clean Energy Regulator (CER) to commence legal action against a renewables company in voluntary liquidation.

Emerging Energy Solutions Group was accused of breaching regulations around accessing emissions data in 2024, but the regulator’s initial claim against the company’s former director Shamsuddin Shaikh was dismissed in January 2025 following a negotiated settlement between the two parties.
