(1) The emissions from purchased electricity used at project treatment facility t during a reporting period, EEP, conversion, t (in tonnes CO2-e) is worked out using the formula (equation 13):

EEP, conversion t means the emissions from purchased electricity used at project treatment facility t during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e.
QEP,t means the amount of purchased electricity used at project treatment facility t during the reporting period, in kilowatt hours, worked out in accordance with the monitoring requirements.
EFEP means:
(a) for electricity obtained from an electricity grid that is a grid in relation to which the NGA Factor document includes an emissions factor—that factor, in kilograms CO2-e per kilowatt hour; or
(b) for electricity obtained from an electricity grid not covered by paragraph (a) or from a source other than an electricity grid:
(i) if the supplier of the electricity is able to provide an emissions factor that reflects the emissions intensity of the electricity—that factor, in kilograms CO2-e per kilowatt hour; or
(ii) otherwise—the emissions factor, in kilograms CO2-e per kilowatt hour, for off-grid electricity included in the NGA Factors document.
(2) For subparagraph (b)(i) of the definition of EFEP in subsection (1), the emissions factor must be worked out:
(a) on a sent-out basis; and
(b) using a measurement or estimation approach that is consistent with the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
