Installations that have applied for free allocation are required to complete an activity level report annually. Activity level at an installation is calculated according to the MMP and is split into applicable benchmarks.
Activity level reports must be submitted annually due to dynamic allocation which is based on a two-year rolling average. If an installation’s rolling average increases or decreases by >15% compared to their HAL (Historical Activity Level) then their allocation will be adjusted accordingly.
Activity level reports are submitted along with the Annual Emissions Report form on METS. If installations have not applied for free allowances then Activity Level Reports do not need to be submitted.
Installations in the Small Emitter and Hospital Opt-Out Scheme will not have to complete activity level reports are do not receive an allocation.
