                For the purposes of administering section 8.16(a)(i), the Relevant Regulator must consider:

            (a)         whether the New Facility exhibits economies of scale or scope and the increments in which Capacity can be added; and

            (b)         whether the lowest sustainable cost of delivering Services over a reasonable time frame may require the installation of a New Facility with Capacity sufficient to meet forecast sales of Services over that time frame.
