from the operation of a facility during a year if the operation of the facility is constituted by an electricity transmission network or distribution network that is, or is part of, the main electricity grid in a State or Territory.
 (2) In applying that method for the purposes of subsection (1A), Q is the quantity of electricity losses for that network during the year.
 (3) For Q, if the electricity purchased or acquired (or lost) is measured in gigajoules, the quantity of kilowatt hours must be calculated by dividing the amount in  gigajoules by 0.0036.
 (4) The main electricity grid, for a State or Territory, means:
 (a) for Western Australia—the Southwest Interconnected System; and
 (b) for the Northern Territory—the Darwin‑Katherine Interconnected System; and
 (c) for each other State or Territory—the electricity grid that provides electricity to the largest percentage of the State's or Territory's population.

7.3  Method A2—location‑based method—electricity purchased, acquired or lost from other sources
 (1) The following formula must be used for estimating scope 2 emissions from electricity:
 (a) purchased or acquired from an electricity transmission network or distribution network other than the main electricity grid in a State or Territory; and
 (b) consumed from the operation of a facility during a year:

where:
Y is the scope 2 emissions measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
Q is the quantity of electricity purchased or acquired during the year and consumed from the operation of the facility, measured in kilowatt hours.
EF is the scope 2 location‑based emission factor, in kilograms of CO2‑e emissions per kilowatt hour, either:
 (a) provided by the supplier of the electricity; or
 (b) if that factor is not available, the emission factor for the Northern Territory as mentioned in Part 6 of Schedule 1.
 (1A) The formula in subsection (1) must, subject to subsection (2), also be used for estimating scope 2 emissions released from electricity consumed from the operation of facility during a year if the operation of the facility is constituted by an electricity transmission network or distribution network that is not, and is not part of, the main electricity grid in a State or Territory.
 (2) In applying that formula for the purposes of subsection (1A), Q is the quantity of electricity losses for that network during the year.
 (3) For Q, if the electricity purchased or acquired (or lost) is measured in gigajoules, the quantity of kilowatt hours must be calculated by dividing the amount in gigajoules by 0.0036.

7.4  Method B—market‑based method
 (1) For the purposes of a report under Part 3, 3E, 3F or 3G of the Act, the following formula may be used for estimating scope 2 emissions from purchased or acquired electricity consumed from the operation of a
