28  Adjusted on‑site facility abatement
 (1) The on‑site facility abatement for a facility must be adjusted for an NGER reporting year if one or more ineligible abatement activities for the project were in operation at the facility during the NGER reporting year.
 (2) Subject to subsection (3), the adjusted on‑site facility abatement for the facility for the NGER reporting year, in tonnes CO2‑e, is worked out using the formula (equation 5):
where:
AA means the adjusted on‑site abatement, in tonnes CO2‑e.
AF means the on‑site facility abatement for the facility for the NGER reporting year, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out in accordance with section 27.
ENA means:
 (a) if an ineligible abatement activity was not in operation at the facility for any part of the baseline year—the amount of abatement associated with the activity for the NGER reporting year, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out in accordance with whichever of subsection (4) or (5) applies; or
 (b) if an ineligible abatement activity was in operation at the facility for only part of the baseline year—the amount of abatement associated with the activity for the NGER reporting year, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out as follows:
 (i) work out the amount of the abatement in accordance with whichever of subsection (4) or (5) applies; and
 (ii) adjust that amount on a pro rata basis by reference to the number of days in the baseline year on which the activity was not in operation at the facility; or
 (c) if an ineligible abatement activity was in operation at the facility for the whole of the baseline year and there is an increase (of a kind mentioned in subparagraph 8(1)(b)(iii)) in abatement from the activity during the NGER reporting year—the amount of the increase in abatement from the activity during the NGER reporting year, worked out using an appropriate abatement estimation approach for the activity.
 (3) The adjusted on‑site facility abatement for the facility for the NGER reporting year is taken to be zero if:
 (a) the amount worked out under subsection (2) for the NGER reporting year is less than zero; and
 (b) neither Subdivision A nor Subdivision B of Division 7 applies to the facility for the NGER reporting year.
Note 1: Subdivision A of Division 7 applies to a facility for an NGER reporting year if electricity is a production variable for the facility and additional electricity is 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.
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
