59  Emissions apportioned to electricity generated using new or existing generating units and exported from a facility
 (1) The emissions apportioned to electricity generated using new generating units, or existing generating units, (the relevant units) at a facility and exported from the facility during an NGER reporting year (the relevant NGER reporting year), in tonnes CO2‑e, are worked out as follows:
 (a) work out the total emissions for the facility during the relevant NGER reporting year, in tonnes CO2‑e, using equation 9 as it applies for the purposes of this paragraph (see subsection (2));
 (b) apportion those emissions to electricity generated using the relevant units at the facility and exported from the facility during the relevant NGER reporting year, using an apportioning metric determined by the project proponent in accordance with the requirements set out in subsection (3).
 (2) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(a), equation 9 applies as if:
 (a) a reference to the "total baseline NGER emissions" for a facility were a reference to the total emissions for the facility; and
 (b) a reference to an "NGER reporting year" were a reference to the relevant NGER reporting year.
 (3) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(b), the requirements are as follows:
 (a) the apportioning metric must be determined using an approach that:
 (i) includes any material emissions source associated with the electricity generated using the relevant units and exported from the facility during the relevant NGER reporting year; and
 (ii) if the emissions source is associated with electricity generated by multiple generating units and exported from the facility during the relevant NGER reporting year—apportions emissions from that source between electricity generated using the relevant units; and
 (iii) if the relevant units include a CHP plant at the facility—apportions emissions to the electricity generated using the relevant units and exported from the facility during the relevant NGER reporting year using equation 27; and
 (iv) measures and apportions emissions in a manner that is consistent with the NGER (Measurement) Determination; and
 (v) reasonably represents the actual emissions attributable to the electricity generated using the relevant units and exported from the facility during the relevant NGER reporting year;
 (b) the apportioning metric must not result in the emissions intensity of the electricity generated using the relevant units and exported from the facility during the relevant NGER reporting year being less than an amount calculated by dividing:
 (i) the emissions from fuel combusted in order for the relevant units to generate the electricity exported from the facility during the relevant NGER reporting year; by
 (ii) the quantity of electricity generated using the relevant units and exported from the facility during the relevant NGER reporting year.
