Controlling corporation, reporting entities, facilities and their NMIs, with each facility linked to the published CER NGER and Safeguard registers. The structural backbone that NGER, Safeguard, AASB S2 disclosure and consolidated Scope 2 all build on.
Australian climate compliance is reported by the corporate group, not the individual site. NGER is lodged by the controlling corporation across every facility under operational control. Safeguard designation attaches to particular facilities. AASB S2 group determination depends on the group meeting a threshold. All three start from the same question: what does the group actually look like, and which facilities sit under which entity.
Answer that in a spreadsheet and the structure drifts. A facility gets matched to the wrong register row, an entity moves and nobody updates the tree, and the link between a meter and a published facility is a name lookup that no auditor can verify. gridIQ replaces that with a stored, auditable model of the group from the controlling corporation down to each NMI.

Lay out the structure the way the regulator reads it: controlling corporation at the top, the operating and controlled entities beneath, the facilities each one runs, and the NMIs that sit under each facility.
Each facility carries a stored link to its entry in the published Clean Energy Regulator NGER facility register and, where it applies, the Safeguard facility register. The match is saved and auditable, not re-guessed on every request.
The same group model feeds NGER reporter status, AASB S2 group determination and Safeguard designation, so the structure is defined once rather than rebuilt for each regime.
Consolidated Scope 2, the ASRS disclosure workflow and the filings register all consolidate against this structure, so a figure can be traced back to the facility and entity it came from.
Because the facility-to-register link is persisted with the rest of the structure, an assurance team can see which published register entry a facility maps to, rather than taking a name match on trust.
gridIQ’s embedded analyst can return the group structure and the facilities under a given entity in plain English, grounded in the model you have saved.
The group model is not a standalone exercise. It is the structure that the filings register organises filings against, that the ASRS Scope 2 workflow consolidates emissions across, and that the Safeguard cost tracker reads facility designation from. Define it once and every downstream figure traces back to a facility and an entity.
