Annual assistance factorThe 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.
(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.
