Identified issues for 2023–24 reporting
We provide actions to resolve identified issues for reporting.
There are 2 identified issues for the 2023–24 reporting period:
- Report generation and submission may be slower than usual. We’re working to address this technical issue. Once you have finished entering data and clicked the ‘generate report’ button, the report will begin generating in the system. Some reports are taking up to several hours to complete. The issue also impacts final report submission. If you encounter this issue, you can log out of EERs and the report generation will continue within the system. The following day, please return and review whether the processes have completed. If your report does not generate or submit by the following day, please contact cer-nger-reporting@cer.gov.au.
- The PDF report generation function for multi-state-enabled facilities is currently impacted. Estimates of scope 2 emissions made using the voluntary market-based method are being improperly included in the ‘Scope 2’ emissions and ‘Total of Scope 1 and Scope 2’ in the regional summary tables. The error affects national transport, network/pipeline and multi-site cement facility types. Summary tables for facility, group or controlling corporations are not affected.
We will contact reporters who may be impacted and provide them with further instructions via email.
