# The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme Order 2020, Paragraph 19F: Capacity increases: combined capacity utilisation factor


(1) The combined capacity utilisation factor must be calculated as follows.
Step 1
Calculate the following for each sub-installation to which the capacity increase relates—
the capacity increase x the benchmark for the sub-installation x the capacity utilisation factor.
Step 2
Add up all calculations done under Step 1.
Step 3
Calculate the following for each sub-installation to which the capacity increase relates—
the capacity increase x the benchmark for the sub-installation.
Step 4
Add up all calculations done under Step 3.
Step 5
Divide the result of Step 2 by the result of Step 4.
The combined capacity utilisation factor is the result of Step 5.
(2) In calculating the combined capacity utilisation factor, a capacity increase that relates to a district heating sub-installation or a heat benchmark sub-installation of an installation that consumes or exports measurable heat produced outside the installation must not be taken into account unless it is solely associated with measurable heat produced at the installation.
(3) Where an application is made in respect of two or more capacity increases that relate to the same sub-installation, for the purpose of calculating the combined capacity utilisation factor, the calculations under Steps 1 and 3 must be done separately for each such capacity increase as if the capacity increases related to separate sub-installations.
(4) In this paragraph, “capacity utilisation factor”, in relation to a capacity increase, means the expected level of production or consumption, expressed as a proportion of the increase in installed capacity.
