General formula
14 General formula
The amount of electricity generated by an accredited power station in a year is:
Start formula TLEG minus open bracket FSL plus AUX plus open bracket DLEG times open bracket 1 minus MLF close bracket close bracket close bracket end formula
where:
TLEG is the total amount of electricity, in MWh, generated by the power station in the year, as measured at all generator terminals of the power station in the year.
FSL is the amount (if any) of electricity, in MWh, generated by the power station in the year using energy sources that are not eligible energy sources, worked out under regulation 15.
AUX is the auxiliary loss, in MWh, for the power station for the year.
See regulation 16 in relation to working out the auxiliary loss if some of the electricity generated by the power station in the year was generated using energy sources that are not eligible energy sources.
DLEG is the amount of electricity, in MWh, transmitted or distributed by the power station in the year, measured:
if the power station is part of the national electricity market—at the point determined under the National Electricity Rules; or
in any other case—at the point determined by an authority of the State or Territory where the power station is.
MLF is the marginal loss factor, to allow for the amount of electricity losses in transmission networks, as determined by:
if the power station is part of the national electricity market—AEMO; or
in any other case—an authority of the State or Territory where the power station is.
If all the electricity generated by the accredited power station is used in the power station, or in the local distribution network, or in both the power station and the local distribution network, the marginal loss factor (MLF) for subregulation (1) is taken to be 1.
If the amount calculated using the formula in subregulation (1) exceeds 1 MWh and results in an amount that is not a whole MWh, the amount must be rounded down to the nearest MWh.
