48  Calculation of electricity abatement adjustment A
 (1) Electricity abatement adjustment A for a facility during an NGER reporting year, in tonnes CO2‑e, is worked out using the formula (equation 18):
where:
AE means electricity abatement adjustment A, in tonnes CO2‑e.
EFElec means:
 (a) for electricity exported to an electricity grid that is a grid in relation to which the NGA Factors document in force on the declaration day includes an emissions factor—that factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour; or
 (b) for electricity exported otherwise than in paragraph (a) (whether to a grid or not):
 (i) if the receiver of the electricity is able to provide an emissions factor that reflects the emissions intensity of the displaced electricity (worked out in accordance with subsection (3)) and is applicable on the declaration day—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.
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.
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.
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 the relevant authority; or
 (d) in any other case—taken to be 1.
 (2) For the definition of EFElec in subsection (1), displaced electricity is electricity that would have been produced for the receiver if the electricity had not instead been produced by the facility.
 (3) For subparagraph (b)(i) of the definition of EFElec in subsection (1), the emissions factor
