#### 637 Electricity baseline for product
(1) For the manufacture of coated or uncoated newsprint that:
(a) has a grammage range of 30 g/m2 to 80 g/m2; and
(b) has a moisture content range of 4% to 11%; and
(c) is generally usable for newspaper or publication products;
the electricity baseline for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption is 0.697 MWh per air dried tonne of rolls of coated or uncoated newsprint of saleable quality produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
> Note: Saleable quality is defined in regulation 22C.
(2) For the production of pulp from either or both of woodchips and sawdust, the basis for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption is 2.48 MWh per tonne of bone dried equivalent pulp that is:
(a) used in the integrated process of manufacturing newsprint; and
(b) produced as part of carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
(3) For the production of pulp from recovered paper, the basis for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption is 0.431 MWh per tonne of bone dried equivalent pulp that is:
(a) used in the integrated process of manufacturing newsprint; and
(b) produced as part of carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
(4) For this Part, an amount of pulp or paper that is used as a basis for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption for 1 of the following emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activities:
(a) the manufacture of newsprint;
(b) dry pulp manufacturing;
(c) cartonboard manufacturing;
(d) packaging and industrial paper manufacturing;
(e) printing and writing paper manufacturing;
(f) tissue paper manufacturing;
does not count for the purpose of the basis for allocation of another of those emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activities.
