Example: Company A operates a zinc smelter at a site with 2 connection points to the National Electricity Market. The company has a different retailer for each of those connection points. The company would first apply in relation to one of the retailers and obtain the full value of the exemption for the emissions - intensive trade - exposed activity. The company would then apply for a second certificate for the second retailer by becoming a prescribed person under regulation 22M. Once approved, the first certificate would be reduced in accordance with regulation 22ZQ.
