36  Displaced electricity emissions
 (1) The displaced electricity emissions from electricity production in the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, is worked out using the formula (equation 28):
where:
AG means the displaced electricity emissions from electricity production in the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e.
NEGP means the net amount of electricity produced by the conversion of coal mine waste gas by relevant electricity production devices as part of the project in the reporting period, in megawatt hours, worked out using equation 29.
EFElec means:
 (a) for electricity supplied to an electricity grid that is a grid in relation to which the NGA Factors document, in force at the end of the reporting period, includes an emissions factor—that factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour (or its equivalent of tonnes CO2‑e per megawatt hours); or
 (b) for electricity supplied otherwise than in paragraph (a) (whether to a grid or not):
 (i) if the receiver of the electricity is able to provide an emissions factor that reflects the emissions intensity of the displaced electricity (worked out in accordance with subsection (3)) and is applicable at the end of the reporting period—that factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour (or its equivalent of tonnes CO2‑e per megawatt hours); or
 (ii) otherwise—the emissions factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour (or its equivalent of tonnes CO2‑e per megawatt hours), for off‑grid electricity included in the NGA Factors document in force at the end of the reporting period; or
 (c) for electricity produced for the purposes of the mine or the project proponent:
 (i) if the project proponent is able to provide an emissions factor that reflects the emissions intensity of the displaced electricity (worked out in accordance with subsection (3)) and is applicable at the end of the reporting period—that factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour (or its equivalent of tonnes CO2‑e per megawatt hours); or
 (ii) otherwise—the emissions factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour (or its equivalent of tonnes CO2‑e per megawatt hours), for off‑grid electricity included in the NGA Factors document in force at the end of the reporting period.
 (2) For the definition of EFElec in subsection (1), displaced electricity is electricity that would have been produced for the receiver, the mine or the project proponent (as the case may be) if electricity had not instead been produced as part of the project.
 (3) For subparagraphs (b)(i) and (c)(i) of the definition of EFElec in subsection (1), the emissions factor must:
 (a) be worked out on a sent‑out basis; and
 (b) be worked out using a measurement or estimation approach that is consistent with the NGER (Measurement) Determination; and
 (c) if the displaced electricity would have been produced from
