Australian Capital Territory Numbered Acts

ELECTRICITY (GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS) ACT 2004 (NO. 71 OF 2004) - SECT 10

The greenhouse gas benchmark for a benchmark participant for a year is to be worked out by—

        (a)     multiplying the ACT population for the year by the Territory greenhouse gas benchmark for the year to work out the electricity sector benchmark; and

        (b)     working out the proportion of the total electricity demand in the ACT (as determined by the regulator) that is applicable to the participant for the year; and

        (c)     applying that proportion to the electricity sector benchmark for the year to work out the number of tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent of greenhouse gas emissions that make up the benchmark for that participant.

Note     The rules set out how the matters mentioned in this section are to be worked out.
