Output-Based Pricing System Regulations — 41.2
Increased capacity of electricity generation 41.2 (1) If, on or after January 1, 2021, an electricity generation facility’s electricity generation capacity from gaseous fuels increases by 50 MW or more and that increased capacity is from a unit designed to operate at a thermal energy to electricity ratio of less than 0.9, the person responsible for the covered facility must determine the GHG emissions limit that applies to the facility for each compliance period, as of the compliance period during which the increase occurred, in accordance with subsection (2). Different output-based standard (2) The GHG emissions limit that applies to the electricity generation facility, expressed in CO 2 e tonnes, is determined for each compliance period in accordance with the formula The summation of the products of Aj and Bj for each industrial activity referred to in paragraphs 38(a) to (c) of Schedule 1 “j”, summed for each unit “i” within the facility, plus the summation of the products of C and D, summed for each unit “k” within the facility, plus the summation of the products of E and D plus the products of F and G, summed for each unit “l” within the facility where A j is the gross amount of electricity generated during the compliance period, quantified in accordance with section 32 , for each of the following units: (a) for each unit “i” within the electricity generation facility, from each of the specified industrial activities set out in paragraphs 38(a) and (b), column 1, of Schedule 1 that are engaged in at the electricity generation facility, (b) from the specified industrial activity set out in paragraph 38(c), column 1, of Schedule 1 that is engaged in at the unit, for each unit “i” within an electricity generation facility that (i) was generating electricity prior to the facility’s increase in electricity generation capacity, except units referred to in the description of E or F, and (ii) that began generating electricity on or after January 1, 2021, if the unit has an electricity generation capacity of less than 50 MW or designed to operate at a thermal energy to electricity ratio equal to or greater than 0.9; B j the output-based standard applicable to each of the specified industrial activities set out in paragraphs 38(a) to (c), column 1, of Schedule 1 that are engaged in at each unit “i” and that is set out in column 3; C is, for each unit “k” within the electricity generation facility that started generating electricity from gaseous fuels on or after January 1, 2021, that has an electricity generation capacity equal to or greater than 50 MW and that is designed to operate at a thermal energy to electricity ratio of less than 0.9, the gross amount of electricity generated during the compliance period from the specified industrial activity set out in paragraph 38(c), column 1, of Schedule 1 that is engaged in at the unit quantified in accordance with section 32; D is the output-based standard set out in the description of D in subsection 41.1 (2) that is applicable to the compliance period in question; E is, for each unit “l” that generated electricity from gaseous fuels within the electricity generation facility prior to the facility’s increase in electricity generation capacity and whose electricity generation capacity was increased by 50 MW or more and that is designed to operate at a thermal energy to electricity ratio of less than 0.9, the gross amount of electricity generated during the compliance period that is attributed to the capacity added to a unit, from the specified industrial activity set out in paragraph 38(c), column 1, of Schedule 1 that is engaged in at the unit, quantified in accordance with section 32 and subsection (3); F is, for each unit “l” that generated electricity from gaseous fuels within the electricity generation facility prior to the facility’s increase in electricity generation capacity and whose electricity generation capacity was increased by 50 MW or more and that is designed to operate
