167Annual assistance factor

#### 167 Annual assistance factor The annual assistance factor to be specified in a certificate of eligibility for coal‑fired generation assistance in respect of a generation complex is the Regulator’s reasonable estimate of the number worked out to 3 decimal places using the following formula:  where: > emissions intensity means the emissions intensity of the generation complex. > Note: For emissions intensity, see section 168. > historical energy means: (a) if the generation complex is a generation complex that entered service on or before 1 July 2008—the total number of gigawatt hours of electricity generated by the generation complex during the period: (i) beginning on 1 July 2008; and (ii) ending on 30 June 2010; as measured at all generator terminals of the generation complex; or (b) if the generation complex is a generation complex that entered service after 1 July 2008—14.016 multiplied by the number of megawatts in the nameplate rating of the generation complex as at the day the generation complex entered service.
