RENEWABLE ENERGY (ELECTRICITY) REGULATIONS 2001 - REG 22B

Conditions for production to be referrable to a site

  (1)   For paragraph   22A(7)(b), the conditions for the nomination of a site in relation to an amount or volume of a relevant product are as follows:

  (a)   the relevant product in relation to which a site is nominated is, or will be, the product of an emissions - intensive trade - exposed activity that is, or is to be, carried on wholly or partly at the nominated site;

  (b)   only 1 site is to be nominated in respect of an amount or volume of relevant product;

  (c)   the site is not a site at which the emissions - intensive trade - exposed activity is, or is to be, carried on only in an ancillary way.

  (2)   For paragraph   22A(7)(c), the conditions that the amount or volume of relevant product must meet are as follows:

  (a)   if the amount or volume of relevant product is identified in the application as the product of a single site--the site:

  (i)   is not part of an activity group; or

  (ii)   if the site is part of an activity group, all other sites in the activity group are sites at which the activity is, or is to be, only carried on in an ancillary way;

  (b)   if the amount or volume of relevant product is identified in the application as the product of each site nominated in an activity group-- the amount or volume is calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Start formula PT times start fraction ES over ET end fraction end formula

    where:

"PT" is the total amount or volume of the relevant product produced, or to be produced, from the emissions - intensive trade - exposed activity at all of the sites that are part of the same activity group.

"ES" is a reasonable estimate of the following amounts of electricity:

  (a)   if 80% or more of the electricity used at the site is used for the purpose of carrying on the activity--the amount of electricity (expressed in megawatt hours) acquired for use at the site; or

  (b)   if less than 80% of the electricity used at the site is used for the purpose of carrying on the activity--the amount of electricity (expressed in megawatt hours) acquired for use in carrying out the activity.

"ET" is the sum of all the estimated amounts of electricity (ES ) for all of the sites in the activity group (other than sites at which the emissions - intensive trade - exposed activity is, or is to be, only carried on in an ancillary way).
