abatement activities that improve the thermal efficiency of existing generating units at the facility.
Note 2: Subdivision B of Division 7 applies to a facility for an NGER reporting year if electricity generated using new generating units at the facility is exported from the facility during the NGER reporting year (whether or not electricity is a production variable for the facility).

Abatement associated with ineligible abatement activity
 (4) If the abatement associated with the ineligible abatement activity is required to be calculated and reported to a government body other than because of this determination, the amount of the abatement for the NGER reporting year, in tonnes CO2‑e, is the amount that:
 (a) is included in the most recent of those reports for the activity; and
 (b) relates to the operation of the activity on days that fall within the crediting period for the project; and
 (c) has not been used before to calculate the adjusted on‑site facility abatement for the facility.
 (5) If subsection (4) does not apply, or the adjusted on‑site facility abatement for the NGER reporting year is being calculated for inclusion in the final offsets report about the project and a report mentioned in subsection (4) that covers the NGER reporting year is not available, the amount of the abatement associated with the ineligible abatement activity for the NGER reporting year, in tonnes CO2‑e, must be estimated:
 (a) using an appropriate abatement estimation approach for the activity; and
 (b) in relation to the operation of the activity on days that fall within the crediting period for the project.

Meaning of appropriate abatement estimation approach
 (6) An appropriate abatement estimation approach, for an activity, is an approach for estimating the abatement associated with the activity that:
 (a) uses data from the records of the facility; and
 (b) is consistent with an estimation approach that applies to the activity under another methodology determination or, if there is no methodology determination that deals with the activity, is consistent with an estimation approach that applies to activities of that kind under another abatement scheme; and
 (c) is consistent with relevant measuring and estimation requirements that apply to facilities under the NGER (Measurement) Determination; and
 (d) results in an estimate that is measurable, capable of being verified and conservative.
