New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 7 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Chapter 27C - CO[2] BUDGET TRADING PROGRAM › Subchapter 8 - General requirements › Section 7:27C-8.8 - Additional requirements to provide output data

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) A CO[2] Budget source shall report net electric output and net thermal output to the Department pursuant to (b) through (j) below.
(b) A CO[2] Budget unit that participates in a wholesale electricity market administered by PJM or NYISO[2] shall submit to the Department the same megawatt-hour value it is required to submit to PJM or NYISO[2] to document megawatt-hours of electrical output and a statement certifying that the megawatt-hours of electrical output reported reflects the total actual electrical output for the CO[2] Budget unit used by PJM or NYISO[2] to determine settlement of transactions among wholesale electricity market participants.
(c) A CO[2] Budget unit that does not participate in a wholesale electricity market administered by PJM or NYISO[2] shall report net electrical output in accordance with an output monitoring plan approved by the Department pursuant to (g) below.
(d) A CO[2] Budget unit that reports gross hourly MW to the Administrator shall use the same electronic data report (EDR) gross output (in MW), as it submitted to the Administrator, for the hour times operating time in the hour, added for all hours in a year.
(e) A CO[2] Budget unit that does not report gross hourly MW to the Administrator shall submit to the Department information in accordance with (g)1 below.
(f) A CO[2] Budget source that sells steam shall use billing meters to determine and report net steam output. A CO[2] Budget source for which steam output is not measured by billing meters or for which steam output is combined with output from a non-CO[2] Budget unit prior to measurement by the billing meter shall report net steam output in accordance with an output monitoring plan approved by the Department pursuant to (g) below. If data for steam output is not available, the CO[2] Budget source shall report heat input providing useful steam output as a surrogate for steam output in accordance with an output monitoring plan approved by the Department pursuant to (e) below.
(g) Each CO[2] Budget source shall submit to the Department for approval an output monitoring plan that includes a diagram and description as stated below:
1. A diagram of the electrical and/or steam system, as applicable, for which output is being monitored, as follows:
i. For monitoring net electric output, the diagram must contain all CO[2] Budget units and all electric generators served by each CO[2] Budget unit and the relationship between CO[2] Budget units and electric generators. If an electric generator served by a CO[2] Budget unit is also served by a non-CO[2] Budget unit, the non-CO[2] Budget unit and its relationship to each electric generator shall be indicated on the diagram as well. The diagram shall indicate where the net electric output is measured and include all electrical inputs and outputs to and from the facility. If net electric output is determined using a billing meter, the diagram shall show each billing meter used to determine net sales of electricity and show that all electricity measured at the point of sale is generated by the CO[2] Budget unit; or
ii. For monitoring net thermal output, the diagram must include all steam or hot water coming into the net steam system, including steam from CO[2] Budget units and non-CO[2] Budget units, and all exit points of steam or hot water from the net steam system. In addition, each input and output stream must have an estimated temperature, pressure, and phase indicator, and an enthalpy in Btu/lb. The diagram of the net steam system must identify all steam loads, including, but not limited to, useful loads, house loads, parasitic loads, and all boiler feedwater returns. The diagram must represent all energy losses in the system as either usable or unusable losses. The diagram must also indicate all flow meters, temperature or pressure sensors, or other equipment used to calculate gross thermal output. If a sales agreement is used to determine net thermal output, the diagram shall show the monitoring equipment used to determine the sales of steam;
