11  Meaning of significant expansion
 (1) Subject to subsection (2), a facility to which a facilities project relates undergoes a significant expansion during an NGER reporting year if:
 (a) new equipment is used by the facility during the NGER reporting year to produce or process a production variable; and
 (c) the maximum productive capacity of all equipment used to produce or process the production variable during the NGER reporting year is 20% greater than the maximum productive capacity of the equipment that was used to produce or process the production variable in the earliest of the NGER reporting years in the baseline period.
 (2) A facility does not undergo a significant expansion if the new equipment is primarily used to generate electricity (whether or not the new equipment is a CHP plant).
 (3) In working out the maximum productive capacity of the equipment that was used to produce or process the production variable in the first NGER reporting year in the baseline period, the productive capacity of equipment that existed at the facility site during that NGER reporting year is not to be included if the equipment:
 (a) was not used to produce or process the production variable during that NGER reporting year; and
 (b) has now been decommissioned.
