an explanation of how the emission‑intensive trade‑exposed activity or activities will be carried on at the site in the year and how any requirements relating to the conduct of the activity or activities will be met;

if the amount of the exemption is to be worked out under Division 5 (production calculation method)—an explanation of the amount or volume of relevant production and other numbers relevant to the application of the method in Division 5, including:

if the amount of the exemption is to be worked out under Division 5 (production calculation method)—a statement of the amount of the exemption that should be set out in the exemption certificate and how that amount should be calculated in accordance with Division 5 (including any assumptions made about values or amounts not known at the time of the application);

if the amount of the exemption is to be worked out under Division 5A (electricity use method):

the names of the liable entity or entities to which the application relates; and

for each activity identified in the application—an estimate of the amount or volume of relevant product identified in the application and referrable to the site; and

if the applicant considers that metering data should be used (whether alone or as part of a formula with other elements) to identify the use amount for a liable entity to which the application relates—identifying information for the meters supplying the data, including the National Metering Identifier (if any) for each such meter within the meaning of the National Electricity Rules; and

a map that sets out the following:

the site in respect of which the application is made;

where on the site the emission‑intensive trade‑exposed activities are carried on;

the sources of electricity generation that are part of the site and the nameplate rating (in MW) of each of those sources;

any point at which electricity is delivered to the site other than by means of an electricity grid with a capacity of 100 MW or more;

how the site is connected to an electricity grid with a capacity that is 100 MW or more;

the name of the liable entity (as referred to in paragraph 46A(1)(b) of the Act);

if:

an emission‑intensive trade‑exposed activity is proposed to be carried on at the site but is not, at the time of the application, carried on at the site; and

an approval is necessary to carry out the emission‑intensive trade‑exposed activity proposed at the site;

information about any generation capacity that exists at the site and whether the generation gives rise to any relevant acquisitions;

information about any electricity used at the site that is not a relevant acquisition because of subsection 31(2) of the Act;

whether the prescribed person intends to apply to be a prescribed person under regulation 22M in relation to the activity, site and year in respect of a second liable entity at the site;
