After an investigation by the Clean Energy Regulator (CER), an electrician in South Australia was convicted and a fine for providing false or misleading documents in the Small -scale schedule for renewable energy (Sres).

Liam Sheppard argued guilty of costs with regard to 62 installations of the solar system. Sheppard wrongly claimed to have installed or supervised these installations.

In addition, he submitted false or misleading small -scale technology certificate allocation forms, together with certificates of electrical safety, to registered agents who relied on the information to make incorrect certificates for the installations.

On April 3, 2025, after more than three years of legal proceedings, Sheppard was convicted and received a reduced fine of Aud 3,500 ($ 2,250) due to his personal circumstances.

Together with reputation damage, convictions of this type can lead to loss of licenses, exclusion from industrial associations, restrictions on international travel and reduced trust of customers.

Registered agents, installers and designers have significant compliance obligations under the SRES, and the CER has been dedicated to guarantee and maintain the obligations to ensure the integrity of the scheme, and say that it has zero tolerance for fraud.

“Those who do not meet their obligations will take enforcement measures against them where it is justified among our compliance, education and enforcement policy,” is a CER statement about this.
