				Season allowances for the CASA for each control period will be assigned to the
				following categories of projects:

3479
2)
Air Pollution Control Equipment Upgrades
1535
1448
3)

1842
1738
4)
Early Adopters
614
580
b)
				The following formulas must be used to determine the number of CASA allowances
				that may be allocated to a project per control period:
1) For an energy efficiency and conservation
				project pursuant to Section
				225.560(a)(1)
				through (a)(4)(A), the number of allowances
				must be calculated using the number of megawatt hours of electricity that was
				not consumed during a control period and the following formula:
A
=
(MWhc) ' (1.5 lb/MWh) / 2000
							 lb
Where:
A
=
The number of allowances for a particular
							 project.
MWhc
=
The number of megawatt hours of electricity conserved
							 or generated during a control period by a project.
2)
				For a zero emission electric generating project pursuant to Section
				225.560(b)(1),
				the number of allowances must be calculated using the number of megawatt hours
				of electricity generated during a control period and the following formula:
A
=
(MWhg) a (2.0 lb/MWh) / 2000
							 lb
Where:
A
=
The number of allowances for a particular
							 project
MWhg
=
The number of megawatt hours of electricity generated
							 during a control period by a project.
3)
				For a renewable energy emission unit pursuant to Section
				225.560(b)(2),
				the number of allowances must be calculated using the number of megawatt hours
				of electricity generated during a control period and the following formula:
A
=
(MWhg) a (0.5 lb/MWh) / 2000
							 lb
Where:
A
=
The number of allowances for a particular
							 project.
MWhg
=
The number of MW hours of electricity generated
							 during a control period by a project.
4)
				For an air pollution control equipment upgrade project pursuant to Section
				225.560(c)(1),
				the number of allowances must be calculated using the emission rate before and
				after replacement or improvement, and the following formula:
A
=
(MWhg) a 0.10 a
							 (ERB lb/MWh - ERA lb/MWh) / 2000
							 lb
Where:
A
=
The number of allowances for a particular
							 project.
MWhg
=
The number of MWhs of electricity generated during a
							 control period by a project.
ERB
=
Average NOx emission rate
							 based on CEMS data from the most recent two control periods prior to the
							 replacement or improvement of the control equipment in lb/MWh, unless subject
							 to a consent decree or court order. For units subject to a consent decree or
							 court order entered into before May 30, 2006, ERB is
							 limited to emission rates or limits that are lower than the emission rate or
							 limit required in the consent decree
or court order. On or after May 30, 2006,
							 ERB is limited to emission rates or limits specified in
							 the consent decree or court order. If such limit is not expressed in lb/MWh,
							 the limit shall be converted into lb/MWh using a heat rate of 10 mmBtu/1
							 MW.
ERA
=
Average NOx emission rate for
							 the applicable control period data based on CEMS data in lb/MWh.
5)
				For highly efficient power generation and clean coal technology projects:
A) For projects other than fluidized coal
				combustion pursuant to Section
				225.560(a)(4)(B),
				(a)(4)(C), and (c)(2), the number of
				allowances must be calculated using the number of MWh of electricity the
				project generates during a control period and the following formula:
A
=
(MWhg) a (1.0 lb/MWh - ER
							 lb/MWh) / 2000 lb
Where:
A
=
The number of allowances for a particular
							 project.
MWhg
=
The number of megawatt hours of electricity generated
							 during a control period by a project.
ER
=
Annual average NOx emission
							 rate based on CEMS data in 1b/MWh.
B)
				For fluidized bed coal combustion projects pursuant to Section
				225.560(c)(2),
				the number of allowances shall be calculated using the number of gross MWh of
				electricity the project generates during a control period and the following
				formula:
A
=
(MWhg) ' (1.4 lb/MWh - ER
							 lb/MWh) / 2000 lb
Where:
A
=
The number of allowances for a particular
							 project.
MWhg
=
The number of gross MWh of electricity generated
							 during a control period by a project.
ER
=
Annual NOx emission rate for
							 the control period based on CEMS data in lb/MWh.
6) For a CASA project that commences
				construction before December 31, 2012, in addition to the allowances allocated
				pursuant to subsections (b)(1) through (b)(5) of this Section, a project
				sponsor may also request additional allowances under the early adopter project
				category pursuant to Section
				225.560(e)
				based on the following formula:
A
=
1.0 + 0.10 ' [SIGMA] Ai
Where:
A
=
The number of allowances for a particular project as
							 determined in subsections (b)(1) through (b)(5) of this Section.
Ai
=
The number of allowances as determined in subsection
							 (b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(3), (b)(4) or (b)(5) of this Section for a given
							 project.
