#### 649 Electricity baseline for product
(1) For printing and writing paper manufacturing, the basis for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption is 0.880 MWh per total tonne of rolls of coated or uncoated printing and writing paper that:
(a) is produced from 100% bleached or brightened input fibre; and
(b) has a grammage range of 42 g/m2 to 350 g/m2; and
(c) has a moisture content in the range of 4% to 11%; and
(d) is generally useable as a printing and writing paper product, including products such as offset paper, copy paper, laser printing paper, magazine paper, filing card paper, manilla, book printing paper, envelope paper, forms paper, scholastic paper, cheque paper and security paper; and
(e) is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and
(f) is of saleable quality.
> Note: Saleable quality is defined in regulation 22C.
(2) For the production of pulp from either or both of woodchips and sawdust as part of printing and writing paper manufacturing, the basis for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption is 0.448 MWh per total air dried tonne (assuming a 10% moisture content) of equivalent pulp that is:
(a) produced from either or both of woodchips and sawdust; and
(b) used in the process of manufacturing printing and writing paper; and
(c) produced as part of carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
(2A) For the production of pulp from recovered paper as part of printing and writing paper manufacturing, the basis for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption is 0.824 MWh per total air dried tonne (assuming a 10% moisture content) of equivalent pulp that is:
(a) produced from recovered paper; and
(b) used in the process of manufacturing printing and writing paper; and
(c) produced as part of carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
(3) 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.
