Output-Based Pricing System Regulations — 36.2
Increased capacity of electricity generation 36.2 (1) Subject to subsections 16 (1) to (5) and (7) to (10), if, on or after January 1, 2021, a covered facility — other than a covered facility referred to in subsection 16(6) — increases its electricity generation capacity from gaseous fuels by 50 MW or more and that increased capacity is from equipment that has a thermal energy to electricity ratio of less than 0.9 and that was added after that date or has had its capacity increased and, the person responsible for the covered facility must determine the covered facility’s GHG emissions limit 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 covered facility for a compliance period, expressed in CO 2 e tonnes, is determined in accordance with the formula The summation of the products of Ai and the result of Bi minus the product of Bi, C and D minus 2022 for each specified industrial activity “i”, plus the summation of the products of E and F and the products of G and F and the products of H and I. where A i is the covered facility’s production during the compliance period, quantified in accordance with section 31, (a) from each specified industrial activity “i”, except the industrial activity set out in paragraph 38(c), column 1, of Schedule 1, and (b) from the specified industrial activity set out in paragraph 38(c), column 1, of Schedule 1, other than from equipment referred to in the descriptions of E, G and H; B i is the following output-based standard applicable to the specified industrial activity “i”, as the case may be: (a) for a specified industrial activity set out in column 1 of Schedule 1 and for which an output-based standard is set out in column 3 of that Schedule, that standard, (b) for a specified industrial activity set out in column 1 of Schedule 1 and for which column 3 of that Schedule sets out that an output-based standard must be calculated in accordance with section 37, the output-based standard calculated in accordance with that section, and (c) for an additional industrial activity, the output based standard calculated in accordance with section 37; C is the following tightening rate applicable to the specified industrial activity “i”, as the case may be: (a) 0% for the specified industrial activity set out in item 38, column 1, of Schedule 1, (b) 1% for the specified industrial activities set out in paragraph 3(c) and items 7, 8, 13, 17, 19, 20, 34, 40, 41 and 43, column 1, of Schedule 1, and (c) 2% for all other specified industrial activities; D is the calendar year that corresponds to the compliance period; E is the gross amount of electricity generated during the compliance period by the equipment that started generating electricity from gaseous fuels on or after January 1, 2021, and is designed to operate at a thermal energy to electricity ratio of less than 0.9, from the specified industrial activity set out in paragraph 38(c), column 1, of Schedule 1, quantified in accordance with section 31; F is the output-based standard set out in subsection 36.1(2) that is applicable for the compliance period; G is, for equipment with increased electricity generation capacity and a thermal energy to electricity ratio of less than 0.9, other than equipment referred to in the description of E, the gross amount of electricity generated during the compliance period attributed to the capacity added to the equipment, from the specified industrial activity set out in paragraph 38(c), column 1, of Schedule 1, quantified in accordance with section 31 and subsection (3); H is, for equipment with increased electricity generation capacity and a thermal energy to electricity ratio of less than 0.9, other than equipment referred to in the description of E, the gross amount of electricity generated during the compliance period attributed to the capacity of the equipment
