45  NGER emissions (electricity)
 (1) The NGER emissions (electricity) for a facility must be worked out under this section for an NGER reporting year if electricity is a production variable for the facility (whether or not the facility also has other production variables).
 (2) The NGER emissions (electricity) for the facility for the NGER reporting year, in tonnes CO2‑e, are worked out using the formula (equation 17):
where:
EElec,NGER,r means the NGER emissions (electricity), in tonnes CO2‑e.
IExist,r means the emissions intensity of electricity generated using existing generating units at the facility and exported from the facility during the NGER reporting year, in tonnes CO2‑e per megawatt hour of electricity exported, worked out using equation 24.
QExist,r means the quantity of electricity generated using existing generating units at the facility and exported from the facility during the NGER reporting year, in megawatt hours, measured in accordance with the applicable monitoring requirements for the electricity.
QTherm means the quantity of additional electricity exported from the facility during the NGER reporting year as a result of project abatement activities that improve the thermal efficiency of existing generating units at the facility, in megawatt hours, worked out using equation 19.
INew means:
 (a) if the emissions intensity of electricity generated using new generating units at the facility and exported from the facility during the NGER reporting year (worked out using equation 21) multiplied by MLFr (within the meaning of subsection 52(1)), is less than the value of EFElec (within the meaning of subsection 52(1))—the emissions intensity of that electricity, in tonnes CO2‑e per megawatt hour of electricity exported, worked out using equation 21; or
 (b) otherwise—zero.
QRep/New means the smaller of the following:
 (a) the value of QRep (within the meaning of subsection 54(1));
 (b) the value of QNew (within the meaning of section 53) for the NGER reporting year.
MLFr means the marginal loss factor for the facility for the NGER reporting year, which is:
 (a) if, during the NGER reporting year, electricity is exported from the facility to the national electricity market and the facility is directly connected to a distribution network—taken to be 1; or
 (b) if, during the NGER reporting year, electricity is exported from the facility to the national electricity market and the facility is directly connected to a transmission network—the relevant factor published by the Australian Energy Market Operator Limited (ACN 072 010 327) that is valid at the end of the NGER reporting year; or
 (c) if neither paragraph (a) nor (b) applies, and a relevant authority of the State or Territory in which the facility is located has determined a factor that is valid at the end of the NGER reporting year—the factor determined by
