Example 4 below shows how an EITE activity factor can be determined. Notes The accuracy is dependent on the accuracy of the EAF. If the accuracy of the excluded amount is 2%, the accuracy for the exemption is 75 MWh or 0.1% of the exemption. This meets the accuracy requirements specified. Example 4: Determining an EITE activity factor based on parameters. All electricity used at the site is Renewable Energy Target liable electricity If a site produces two products, EITE product (A) and a non-EITE product (B), and it is determined that the amount of each product can be used to estimate accurately the exemption then these products will have the same electricity baseline factor (EBF), 1 MWh per tonne of product. The electricity baseline factor does not need to be the same as in the factor in the Regulations. All the electricity used at the facility is liable electricity. It is determined that the split of electricity between the liable electricity use for the two products is the same proportion as the weight of products produced. For this year the amount of EITE product A produced was 10,200 tonnes and the amount of nonEITE product B produced was 8,700 tonnes. This means the EITE activity factor (EAF) for the year is: = 0.54 If the amount of liable electricity used as measured through meter 5 at the facility is 25,600 MWh then the exemption is: = 0.54 x 25,600 = 13,824 MWh Notes As production changes each year the value of the EITE activity factor changes each year. But how the factor is determined does not need to change unless there is a change to the site leading to a change in how the factor is determined.
