40  Emissions from purchased electricity
 (1) The emissions from purchased electricity used by a waste treatment facility or unit during a reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, are worked out using the formula (equation 13):
where:
EEP,f means the emissions from purchased electricity used by waste treatment facility or unit f during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e.
QEP,f means the quantity of electricity purchased by waste treatment facility or unit f during the reporting period, in kilowatt hours, worked out in accordance with the monitoring requirements.
EFEP means:
 (a) for electricity obtained from an electricity grid that is a grid in relation to which the NGA Factors document in force on the declaration day for the project includes an emissions factor—that factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour; or
 (b) for electricity obtained from an electricity grid not covered by paragraph (a) or from a source other than an electricity grid:
 (i) if the supplier of the electricity is able to provide an emissions factor that reflects the emissions intensity of the electricity (worked out in accordance with subsection (2)) and is applicable on the declaration day for the project—that factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour; or
 (ii) otherwise—the emissions factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour, for off‑grid electricity included in the NGA Factors document in force on the declaration day for the project.
f means a waste treatment facility or unit that is a nominated waste treatment facility or unit for the source separation activity during the reporting period.
 (2) For subparagraph (b)(i) of the definition of EFEP in subsection (1), the emissions factor must be worked out:
 (a) on a sent‑out basis; and
 (b) using a measurement or estimation approach that is consistent with the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
 (3) Section 7 does not apply to the parameter EFEP.
