31A Information about electricity generation that must be included in an offsets report
(1) If the project has used landfill gas to generate electricity during its second or only crediting period or periods—an offsets report for a reporting period must include the total number of calendar months that landfill gas has been used to generate electricity between the start of its second or only crediting period and the end of the reporting period.
Note: Under subsection 13A(3) any generation of electricity during 3 or more days in a calendar month means that month is a month in which electricity is generated from landfill gas and the months do not need to be consecutive. After generation has commenced, the generation is presumed to continue in the absence of evidence to the contrary.
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to a restarting flaring project, but an offsets report for a reporting period for a restarting flaring project must indicate if landfill gas was used to generate electricity during the reporting period.
