AI summary The Annual Emissions Limit (AEL) under the Clean Electricity Regulations (CER) sets a phased reduction from 65 tonnes/GWh until 2049, then to zero by 2050. Operators may purchase offsets above the limit, with caps of 35 tonnes/GWh (2035–2049) and 45 tonnes/GWh (2050+). Net zero is defined as allowing offset purchases up to 45 tonnes/GWh.
