NATIONAL GREENHOUSE AND ENERGY REPORTING REGULATIONS 2008 - REG 4.26

  (1)   This regulation applies in relation to a report given to the Regulator under section   19 or 22X of the Act by a controlling corporation, or a responsible member of the controlling corporation's group, if:

  (a)   a facility (including a facility that is one of a group of facilities) of the controlling corporation meets the requirements in subregulation   (1A) for the reporting year; and

  (b)   the group of facilities of the controlling corporation to be reported under this regulation meets the requirements in subregulation   (1B) for the reporting year; and

  (c)   the controlling corporation, or the responsible member, is not required to collect or provide information about the greenhouse gas emissions or the consumption or production of energy from the operation of the facility under another Commonwealth law, or a law of a State or Territory.

Note:   This regulation does not apply to a report given under section   22G of the Act.

  (1A)   For paragraph   (1)(a), the facility:

  (a)   emits scope 1 emissions with a carbon dioxide equivalence of 3 kilotonnes or less; and

  (b)   emits scope 2 emissions with a carbon dioxide equivalence of 3 kilotonnes or less; and

  (c)   produces 30 terajoules or less of energy; and

  (d)   consumes 30 terajoules or less of energy.

  (1B)   For paragraph   (1)(b), the group of facilities to be reported under this regulation:

  (a)   either:

  (i)   emit scope 1 emissions with a carbon dioxide equivalence of 12 kilotonnes or less; and

  (ii)   emit scope 2 emissions with a carbon dioxide equivalence of 12 kilotonnes or less; and

  (iii)   produce 120 terajoules or less of energy; and

  (iv)   consume 120 terajoules or less of energy;

  (b)   or:

  (i)   emit a total of scope 1 and scope 2 emissions that are less than 5% of the total scope 1 and scope 2 emissions of the total of the corporation's group of facilities; and

  (ii)   produce less than 5% of the amount of energy produced by the total of the corporation's group of facilities; and

  (iii)   consume less than 5% of the amount of energy consumed by the total of the corporation's group of facilities.

  (2)   The report may include for all facilities to which this regulation applies:

  (a)   the greenhouse gas emissions as an estimate of the percentage of the group's total greenhouse gas emissions; and

  (b)   the energy consumption as an estimate of the percentage of the group's total energy consumption; and

  (c)   the energy production as an estimate of the percentage of the group's total energy production.

  (3)   If the report includes an estimated percentage in accordance with subregulation   (2), the report must identify the number of facilities for which the report provides the estimate.

  (4)   If the report includes information mentioned in subregulation   (2) as an estimated percentage, then it does not need to include that information by another method or criteria mentioned in the Measurement Determination.
